At the early age of 13, Arno Holschuh took his first sip of coffee and immediately fell in love. Despite his parents’ apprehension about stunting his growth, Arno says, “what they couldn’t have known is that they were setting me on a path that then would become my passion and my career.” Have you ever heard of a Chemex pot? What about a Siphon pot? Don’t worry, we hadn’t either! Arno’s breaking down all of the lingo and letting us in on his personal journey in making coffee a career. You’ll hear Arno touch on his experiences working at a cafe in college, and how he learned how to roast coffee the OG way! Fast forward a couple years, and Arno was living in the Bay area and working a whopping 4 jobs….one of which was being a barista! He knew that working with coffee was his true passion, and he was ready to dedicate himself to the coffee industry. Arno also gets real with us about how the coffee industry is seriously lacking in diversity, and how these structural questions need to be addressed at large.
