- You can lift 50 lbs (kegs, milk deliveries, event gear)

Nice to have
- Experience with hand brew methods (Kalita Wave, V60, Aeropress) is a plus
Company info
- Pull espresso, steam milk, and pour latte art all day - on a Slayer Steam, not a super-automatic
- Brew pourovers on a Kalita Wave, V60, and Aeropress with precision and care
- Work café shifts in our River Forest shop and/or catering events across Chicagoland
- Make every person who walks in feel genuinely welcome - not scripted, not forced

- Handle equipment like it's yours
