About “Star” Barista

Hi, I’m Teal—Your New Star Barista!

It is time for you to join the adventure and become a sustainable, knowledgeable, and skilled at-home barista! 

Welcome to The Social Coffee Bean! Where coffee is more than just a beverage; it’s a daily enriching experience. I started this blog in September 2024 because coffee is fun, and for many of us part of our daily rituals. With nearly two years of hands-on experience as a Starbucks partner,  I’ve cultivated a deep passion for coffee, from mastering brewing techniques to tailoring recipes and food pairings to fit your preferred lifestyle. It’s your best life!

The Social Coffee Bean was born from my desire to help coffee lovers like you become more knowledgeable, sustainable, and skilled at-home baristas. Whether you’re a sophisticated coffee enthusiast or just starting your journey (like I was very recently in my coffee journey), this blog can be your hub for all things coffee. I cover everything from beginner basics and eco-friendly product recommendations to wellness tips and local coffee shop guides that support your health-conscious lifestyle.

Check out these new categories: Your Star Barista, At-Home Barista, Health Coffee, Future Brew & Sustainability, and Local Guides. These are all designed to offer you the insights and the best eco-friendly tools you need to elevate your coffee experience.
