MEET OUR BARISTAS

Joebel

Lead Barista – Manager
My dream is to be an entrepreneur ten years from now practicing harmony with the
people.

Beng

Barista

I enjoy the changes, which leads to the quote:

“the only thing that’s inevitable is change.”

What do I mean by this? The positive changes that I witnessed while I working with other CFP baristas, the progress of how I make the coffee, and the difference between who I was before compared to the person I am now. I enjoy things that are essential in life. I’m glad to be part of the coffee industry which I’m passionate about. And I value the growth I’m experiencing.

Joanna

Barista
In CFP I learned how to be down-to-earth, to be humble in small things, and to be good to my co-workers. These lessons are important in building confidence to start my own business in the future.

Merlinda

Barista
I enjoy doing a variety of tasks including virtually in a company that realizes that employees are their greatest asset.

Piolo

Barista
My dream – 10 years from now – is to have my own coffee shop promoting or selling local coffee beans here in the Philippines. And also I want to be a Certified Arabica Q-Grader.

Renz

Barista
I enjoy making coffee in front of our customers. I enjoy speaking to them and sharing how coffee is. It’s a good bridge to connect with others. I enjoy seeing them relax.

Sandy

Barista
Ten years from now, I dream of owning a sustainable business, hopefully, a coffee shop. In CFP, I am improving my latte art and roasting skills. I enjoy doing latte art and talking with other coffee enthusiasts.

Ederick

Barista

By the age of 34, I dream of being a successful coffee shop owner.
