Haha. Out of Africa.
Well I've been in coffee at the retail level for many, many different coffee companies off and on for better than five years.
Coffee has always been one of my great loves.
Now I work for a company here in Chicago called Intelligentsia. Our company is very serious about coffee quality 'from source to cup'.
We have buyers go all around the world sourcing and fostering the best beans; we also have some of the most dedicated coffee geeks and baristas here in the city preparing those beans.
From what I understand there is not a 'Master of Coffee' degree offered anywhere in the country. But there many be some degrees (like agriculture, international buying/trading, sociological studies, etc.) where I can design part of the degree to be tailored toward the specialty coffee industry.
That's what I'm curious about.
