Common Grind: Tales from the Driptray

The UK’s premiere coffee podcast

The final news unabridged!

By Chris Weaver • Sep 10th, 2008 • Category: Articles

Well guys, I’m finally in a position to be slightly less candid in my news posts. As of monday this week, I have resigned from my post as Head Barista at Coffee Aroma, Lincoln. I don’t want to sound upbeat about this, because I’m not, I’ve lost a good friend which is a shame. However, I was no longer made to feel welcome, and thus found a healthier working environment for me.

Once I have finished working my notice, I will be starting my new job in Lincoln, at a great little independent coffee bar called The Angel Bar. They are a small, but fantastically set-out, young coffee bar, with what I feel is a need for an experienced barista like me, to help guide them in their coffee, and other aspects of drinks, that they are lacking

I am really excited about this, as it is a fresh start, a healthy working environment, and a chance to really put my fingerprint on a new, exciting coffee shop with a lot of potential. Thanks for your support and kind words!

    Mate, well done for being able to turn things around so quickly, and I wish you all the best with this new opportunity !

    When do you start at The Angel Bar ?

    Oh and FFS, I really need to get over to you with this grinder timer. I figure it’s ready to go, I’ve been using it all week ;-)

    ha haa, I look forward to it Jon, was chatting to Max today, owner of The Angel Bar and he seems very interesting. I potentially start within 10 days, just trying to get everything ironed out with Aroma, and get everything sorted.

    Its funny isn’t it, life can go on for ages without a bump in the road, and then there’s a pile-up!!

    I’m very excited though and looking forward to my new job :)

    Chris
