Natt MuangsiriCoffee Enthusiast | Coffee Education Advocate | Founder, Espresso Academy Thailand ☕📚Hello #LinkedInCommunity,I'm excited to share my journey that intertwines two of my greatest passions: coffee and education! 🚀It was back in 2016, just a few years after my aviation career took off, that I discovered an irresistible love for coffee. From that moment on, coffee became an integral part of my life, and I couldn't imagine a day without it.My coffee adventure kicked off when I opened a cafe and soon found myself participating in a barista competition in Thailand. To my delight, I secured an impressive 2nd place, and that experience ignited a fire within me. I realized the immense value of coffee education and its power to shape the industry positively.Since then, my dedication to coffee education has been unwavering. Through numerous competitions, including Barista, Brewing, and Roasting, I continuously challenged myself to learn and grow. In 2018, fueled by my passion, I founded Espresso Academy Thailand, a certified Premier Training Campus and also Q Venue Professional solely focused on Coffee Education and delivering top-quality learning experiences. At Espresso Academy, we believe that knowledge should be accessible to all. We personally trained over 20 ASTs to expand the reach of coffee education across the industry, benefiting baristas, cafe owners, coffee roasters, and even coffee farmers.Our vision is to create an open and welcoming space for coffee enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds. We strive to foster a thriving community of knowledge sharing and growth. Today, our campus stands as a hub of learning, empowering individuals from all walks of life to enhance their coffee skills.As we move into 2023, we are thrilled to announce the upcoming expansion of Espresso Academy with state-of-the-art facilities in Koh Samui, Phung Nga, and Phuket, reaching even more coffee enthusiasts.Our efforts have borne remarkable fruit, with over 1000+ trained by Espresso Academy Thailand and 500+ students trained and certified by Specialty Coffee Association. Additionally, around half a hundred of students have certified from the Coffee Quality Institute.I'm genuinely passionate about making a positive impact on the coffee community and contributing to a better coffee world. Together, let's continue to raise the bar for coffee education and savor the journey of making exceptional coffee.Connect with me to explore coffee education opportunities, industry insights, or simply share your love for coffee
