The Happy Coffee Network is for you, if
This is for you, if…
you are a coffee professional (barista, roaster, buyer, café owner) who wants to keep learning)
You’re a passionate home brewer who takes coffee seriously and wants to go deeper
You sometimes feel overwhelmed by the coffee industry and want a supportive community
You value growth – both professionally and personally
You’re looking for real connections with people who share your coffee passion
This is not for you, if…
You buy your coffee at the supermarket and that’s perfectly fine for you 🙂
You’re looking for a quick fix or instant expertise without putting in the work
You prefer going it alone and don’t see value in community
You’re just here for the networking without interest in learning or contributing
You think specialty coffee should stay gatekept and exclusive (we’re all about making it accessible!)

"Dikke vette uitgelichte quote uit review"
Plaats hier de hele review, maar wees ook zeker niet bang om te schrappen! Beter kort maar krachtig, dan vol met loze termen. Als je echt veel aanpast, check het dan uiteraard even met je klant. Kijk of je met een aantal reviews op deze manier naast elkaar een beetje op gelijke lengte uit kunt komen.

Hi!
You may know me as the 2019 World Aeropress Champion, or maybe you’ve seen me online, or perhaps on stage as judge, speaker or MC at a coffee event somewhere around the world.
My career in coffee has its had ups and downs -like yours probably.
There were many times I didn’t know where I belonged, or what my place in the overwhelming coffee industry was.
I’ve felt alone often, and struggled through not one, but two burnouts (I’m also a little stubborn…)
After 15 years working in our beautiful – but complex- industry, I decided to create that positive place myself: The Happy Coffee Network.
A place where you will always feel welcome, supported and cheered on.
Where you don’t have to have all the answers, but you’re simply surrounded by likeminded people who are all trying their best every day.
After all, coffee tastes better with friends!

What if I can't attend the live events?
No problem! Every event (except for the Brewalong) is recorded and added to your member library. Watch whenever it fits your schedule.

Most events are in English, but we have members from 15+ countries with varying English levels. We’re a patient, supportive bunch! Also, on occasion we have live Spanish interpretation available. Reach out if you need interpretation!
