Set up as a FaceBook Group on the 18th of January 2009, I AM A BARISTA has never stop growing. From just 3 members on the 1st day it was launched, it achieved its first 200 members in the first month and today, 738 of us with another group set up in Malaysia, late last year.
We had our 1st barista challenge, CuppaBarista Challenge 2009 on the 4th of April 2009 which was won by Noelle, formerly from KITH Cafe & Bistro. 1st runner up, Melvin Seah from CuppaChoice and 2nd runner up, Rohit Singh from Geek Terminal.
The 2nd challenge was held on the 29th of January 2010 and it was an overwhelming response by barista in the industry. Held on the streets of Chinatown with crazy traffic, the challenge was won by Andy from Starbucks, Natasha from One Caramel coming in second and third place goes to Sham from CuppaChoice Cafe & Academy.
All in all, it have been a good start for the group and with the launch of this Barista Blog, I promise that we will bring Coffee to a whole new level altogher. Remember this Barista logo as this is omy word to you. I AM A BARISTA will shake this industry!
