Hey, Steemers! My name is Jared Gibson. I am a barista at a Starbucks. I also roast my own coffee and sell it online and at a local farmers market. At the moment, I'm only selling through my Facebook page and one farmers market, but I am planning on expanding to other online outlets and other local farmers markets soon!
I got interested in coffee after I started working as a barista in the Target I work at. At first, I began experimenting with grinding my own whole bean coffee and experimenting with brewing devices such as pour over cones, French presses, and whatever else I could find on a budget. After becoming acquainted with Starbucks coffee, I began buying freshly roasted coffee online and from a few local roasters. Then, I learned I could roast coffee myself, for half or a third the price I could buy it from my favorite roasters!
After years of experience as a barista and a roaster, I want to start my own coffee roasting business and share my love for coffee with as many people as possible, obviously while making money doing it!
At the moment, I intend for this Steemit account to be a professional outlet for posting my coffee brewing and roasting posts
