Craig’s Journey: From Barista to Coffee Expert
Craig started as a barista at a local place. There, he found his love for making coffee. He then dove deep into the coffee community.
He was inspired by the baristas at the famous Network Cafe in Dublin. Craig went on to learn more about coffee and try new things.
By working with experienced coffee pros and always aiming for the best, Craig became a top coffee expert. Now, he teaches the new baristas at Liberty Beans Coffee.

The coffee world is struggling with a lack of new ideas. It’s not getting enough money for research and development. Right now, only $115 million is spent on coffee R&D each year. Most of this comes from the government, and a tiny bit from companies.
To keep coffee diverse and tasty, we’d need about $452 million more for R&D every year. This would help keep the coffee world exciting and full of variety.

| Total value of green coffee | 4.8% of the total value of agricultural output in 45 coffee-producing countries |
