My name is Jonathan Gonzalez. I have been a barista for just about 6 years. I started off with local roaster Charming Beard (now, known as La Barba). I worked as the lead barista for just under a year. I was then offered a job at Blue Copper Coffee Room (previously known as Nobrow Coffee). I worked at the coffee room for another year. I then left and began my work at yet another local roaster named Publik Coffee Roasters where I worked for 2 years. My positions at Publik varied from Shift Lead, QC, to warehouse operations. I then moved on and worked as Head Barista for Campos Coffee Roasters, originally based out of Sydney, Australia. As of 7 months ago, I have relocated to Portland, Oregon and have been working for Case Study Coffee Roasters as a barista/assistant trainer. I had started this blog as an attempt to document the further changes in the Salt Lake City coffee scene, but now that I am in Oregon, I will continue to document the coffee industry here in Portland from my point of view.
