Currently residing in Pittsburgh, but hoping to move to Portland by the spring. I've trained at Intelligentsia, and Aldo Coffee in Pittsburgh. I plan on continuing my education in november with ellie at the elements of espresso workshop. I'd appreciate any inquiries regarding barista positions in and around Portland. I'm open to relocating anywhere out west really.

If you are looking to just get more information on working in a coffee shop, learn more about coffee or maybe even starting you're own coffee business, you can read Cash in on the coffee biz. It shares a lot of information about the coffee business and many different aspects of running a coffee business. I know you said you live in Pittsburgh and are willing to move to the west. Even if you wanted stay where you are the book goes over running the business via the internet.

You can find coffee business brokers at business brokers. They help people that are interested in buying or selling a business. The book i recommended Cash in on the Coffee Biz is found at, coffee business book. It talks about starting a home based business with little money and growing it. Or starting out on the internet even. Good luck!
