About us
I started The Daily Grind Collective because working behind the bar can feel like a pretty solitary craft, even in a busy café. This is a meetup for baristas, home brewers, and anyone curious about making better coffee who wants to practice, swap tips, and learn from each other. We get together for hands-on sessions covering things like dialing in espresso, milk texturing and latte art, pour overs, grinder maintenance, and tasting, with plenty of time to just talk shop over a cup.
You do not need to be a pro or have fancy gear to join. Some of us pull shots for a living, some are still figuring out why our home espresso tastes sour, and both are equally welcome. Bring your questions, your favorite beans if you like, and a willingness to experiment. I try to keep things relaxed and useful, so expect small groups, honest feedback, and no judgment about your latte art. If that sounds like your kind of morning or afternoon, come along to a meetup and say hello.
