Welcome, listeners, to another fresh-brewed episode of our podcast series, 'From Field to Plate: The Heroes Behind Your Meals'. Today, we've got a steaming hot episode with the title 'The Perfect Cup: Barista Skills, Artistry, and Career Paths'. Our podcast is brought to you by Tukr.com, your premier online career portal dedicated to the food industry.

So, what makes the perfect cup of coffee? Is it the quality of the beans, the process of brewing, or the artistry in every pour? Today, we'll be delving into the nuanced world of baristas, the unsung heroes of our morning routines and late-night study sessions.

We have invited two of the top baristas in the country to our show. They've both mastered the art of the pour and have very interesting career paths. I'd like to welcome Alex, a seasoned barista who runs a popular coffee shop in Brooklyn and Mia, a renowned barista champion who travels the world sharing her coffee expertise.
