Create My Barista CV

Coffee chains and specialty cafés look for coffee knowledge, speed, cleanliness and a friendly attitude. Your barista CV should prove these with concrete examples.

Make your coffee knowledge concrete

Mention espresso dialling-in (dose, grind, extraction time), milk texturing, latte art and filter methods such as V60, Chemex or French press.

Show the pace of the café

Making hundreds of drinks a day in a busy chain is different from brewing in a small specialty café. You can give an average number of drinks per day.

Add training and certificates

Barista courses and coffee certificates (for example SCA programmes) make a difference. Don't forget food hygiene training.

What Every Barista CV Should Include

  • Espresso and milk texturing
  • Brewing methods
  • Barista / coffee training
  • Food hygiene training

Example Work Experience Lines

Write your experience in the same concrete, measurable way:

  • "Prepared around 300 drinks a day in a busy chain coffee shop."
  • "Dialled in the espresso every morning to keep the taste consistent."
