To learn how to work as a basic barista in an orderly, systematic, and hygienic way, one could perform the following tasks:
- Orderly work: Ensure that the workspace is always neat and organized. Place all necessary equipment and materials in a logical and efficient manner so that you can quickly find what you need. Put everything back in its place after use.
- Systematic work: Follow a structured approach when preparing coffee. Use a fixed recipe for each type of coffee and follow the steps in the same order. This prevents errors and ensures consistency in the taste of the coffee.
- Hygienic work: Keep the workspace clean and maintain good personal hygiene. Wash your hands regularly and wear clean work clothes. Clean the equipment and materials after each use and follow food safety and hygiene guidelines.
Discuss with your coach which tasks you will perform to develop these skills. The goal is to improve your skills in accurately gathering information about coffee and becoming a true coffee expert as a beginner in the profession.
Together with your work supervisor and coach, determine when you have sufficiently developed these skills and earned your badge.

This way, potential employers and customers will have a better understanding of your dedication to coffee excellence and the specific skills you have developed. Show that you are a true coffee expert!
