How many times has half decent coffee been murdered by poorly trained/ motivated Baristas?
shooting from the hip on this one but,
most shop owners will probably not like to pay for something which does not turn an instant profit so this may kill off this idea but i like the idea of certificated barista`s.
simular to the basic food hygiene certificate people need to handle food.
a paid memership could allow for heavily discounted training or indeed used to fund training for baristas by independant trainers freelance or employed by SCAE,and a frameable certificate issued upon pass... this would also hopefully raise the moral of the worker and hopefully inspire them to keep to a standard.
the certificate is displayed along with maybe a sticker for the window to help idiots like me who trawl and trawl around strange citys on a quest to find a half bloody decent drinkable coffee with out ordering a praying whilst peering over the shoulder to watch the pour ..!!!.
