Over the last few years there has been increasing interest in the concepts of a living wage and a living income in coffee. There are many perspectives when it comes to a living wage and income in coffee: the perspective of the hourly coffee worker, the coffee business owner, the farm laborers, etc. All perspectives at opposite ends of the value chain have similar livelihood needs, but also have important differences. The SCA’s Barista Guild wanted to further the conversation in our own community by exploring the perspective of the hourly coffee worker.
