Donut Supercharged February 17, 2012 Share February 17, 2012 Coffee lovers, (Maz, u reading this?) I stumbled upon CNA about the social enterprises, and they featured this coffee academy where they train disadvantage and under privilege women to be baristas so that they can work as barista or start own biz They also sell coffee beans and coffee equipment, in order to sustain. They also getting funds from MCYS to improve their operations and marketing http://www.bettrbarista.com Support them in whatever u can. They sell coffee beans, machines. Im not sure if they need trainers or not. Contact them I'm in no relations with this enterprise ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence intended to them, that is the truth. And the baristas they train are not up to standard as well. So don't expect much. In doing ANYTHING, driving, swimming, cooking, the most important ingredient is, Passion, without passion, there is not much difference from the most crap at the local coffeeshop. I support FRESH and well pulled coffee done with PASSION. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear February 18, 2012 Share February 18, 2012 Where is the fresh when your coffee beans are transported half way round the world...and stayed in warehouses up to a year or more. Also what is the passion you talking about when using machine? Passion in caressing the machine Nd touching the on/off switch? as long as the sexy ah Lians can operate the machines and talk nice to me....I already think they pass Liao.

Contact them I'm in no relations with this enterprise there are many places offer barista training, not that i doubt the mission of social responsibility of this establishment. i dun see what so social about them! There could already be thousands of barista (trained or half trained) in singapore, including many female good one, but what more can they offer? money to open a cafe?? there are also many open and close, what make them so special?? to me it is just another dream of a young entrepreneur marketing gimmick and they already said they are not non-profit meaning they dun care what you end up with, probably another headcount in starbucks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's different from those commercial ones. Anyway, I thought it is some good cause. The thing is that MCYS is funding them, means they are different from others. There's a social cause element in what they do. Of coz, the trainees come out with the same skills as those Starbucks ones, but their backgrounds are different. These are the poor, widows, abused, or even ex-convicts who needed a headstart in order to earn a living. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mind filled with swill will remain with swill. What you don't know, in reference to what you have written "fresh, half the world around, more then a year" I will not elaborate and give you a online tutorial. Thus leaving you with what you know, which really is, not knowing anything more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Brother Donut, you have a heart of gold, but one needs to see further thru the smog and smoke. If only what was said and shown could be so true. Not. The industry buzz, we know.

Now ordering one unit straight from Italy but stock only coming in next week I kind of remembered having told you that already, CMI as their main concern is only with businesses, 2-3 group machines, which cost an arm and a leg to buy. If you had asked me about the La Pavoni, I could have told you an alternative source which was far cheaper then buying from Italy. Since the deed is done, no point talking about it, enjoy your cuppa! BTW, basket size is smaller then all others, in case you didn't know. I gave Jman the lead to a Domos, beautiful machine and he's "loving it!"
