Drinking coffee has become very popular in Nairobi. Restaurants, cafés and coffeehouses are often full every evening of the week. After a long day in the office, the city’s working class throng these joints to catch up over a cup. The one who makes that aromatic steaming cup of coffee so enticing is a barista, a master coffee brewer.
It is the barista also who designs those fancy patterns in your latte at Java, Kaldis or Artcaffe and the demand for these professionals has been on the rise.
