Coffee Congrats

Keith has earned himself yet another pin at Starbucks indicating that he is"Genuine." His co-workers have given him a number of special cards indicating that he was doing a good job in many areas of his job. Once he had a full set of these cards, he cashed them in for this pin. This came with a fancy certificate and a note from his superiors. They affectionately referred to him as their "Keith of all trades" and elaborated that his detailed eye and high standards are what helps to keep the store great. Good job Keith! I always knew you were genuine!





Keith has passed yet another milestone in his Starbucks experience. He has completed Barista 201 training! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Now what? You may ask.... Onward with "Coffee Master" training. YIPPIE!

The Coffee Master is the "Know-it-all" coffee person at Starbucks. Every store has one. This person is considered an expert in coffee tasting and often makes his or her own blends. He is so excited! This is something he was inspired to seek not long after he started working at Starbucks; however he was actually invited to do so after sharing some of his coffee experience with the Regional Manager at her last visit. His trained palate for tasting makes him an excellent candidate. Way to go Honey!
