Frankie & George is a bustling CBD café that's built its name on serving exceptional specialty coffee at pace. We're after an experienced barista who lives for the craft and wants to bring their A-game to our set-up: dual Anfim grinders, a La Marzocco PB 3-group, a Fetco batch brewer, and an EK43 for good measure. If you know what it means to really dial in, this is where you get to do it properly, every single day.
The Role
This isn't a "make coffee, move on" job. As our Experienced Barista, you'll own the bar dialling in throughout the day, chasing the extraction, and holding the standard even when the queue's out the door. We need someone who's as sharp during the 8am rush as they are in a quiet mid-morning lull, and who genuinely gets a kick out of pulling a excellent shot.
