After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

How did you get your start?
Coffee has always been more of a interest for me, but i would like it to be my profession, however looking at the jobs section i am a little disappointed, every single ad i saw asked for an experienced barista. Now, i understand that with the demands of most cafes, coffee bars, they do not have the time to train somebody but if everybody is looking for experienced people, then where does that leave people like me?
I feel that i have a better understanding than most average joes out there as to how to make a good coffee, mainly through reading, listening, and getting behind the machine for a few hours, but what they are looking for is industry experience, which i sorely lack.
So how did any of you start out if they are all looking for experienced people?
Cheers
