Experienced Barista Wanted: Co-Create a Slow Coffee Project
A experiência
We’re a small slow-living home in the mountains of Chiang Dao, quietly building something special around coffee.
Over the past months, we’ve been running a private café and experimenting with slow coffee, manual brewing. Now, we’re ready to take the next step — developing our coffee systems, roasting process, and future roastery, without rushing into a high-volume café model.

Detalhes
Dao Home is a privately run slow-living space, not a commercial café. We’re intentionally building our coffee project step by step — focusing on quality, systems, and learning, rather than volume or speed.
As a barista here, you’ll help us:
Refine our coffee workflow and daily routines
Develop roasting and bean-handling practices
Explore fermentation and storage methods
Improve consistency, cleanliness, and setup
Serve coffee occasionally to household members and a small number of Airbnb guests
Some days are quiet and experimental. Other days involve serving a few guests. There is no fixed menu pressure, no rush hours, and no expectation of constant service.
This role is part-time by nature and designed to leave space for rest, exploration, and life in Chiang Dao.
Atividades & Turnos
☕ Coffee & Barista Work
Prepare coffee for the household and occasional guests
Manual brewing, espresso-based drinks, and latte art practice
Maintain consistency and quality in every cup
🔥 Roasting & Bean Work
Assist with or lead small-batch roasting experiments
Explore green bean storage and fermentation methods
Help document and improve roasting processes
🧼 Equipment & System Care

Care for grinders, machines, tools, and workspace
Respect existing systems and suggest improvements before changing them
🌿 Shared Home Support
Light help with shared spaces when needed
Occasional gardening or household tasks
🕰 Shift Style
Flexible, slow-living rhythm
Typically 2–5 hours per day, depending on guest flow
Some days have no service at all

☕ BARISTA & COFFEE PROJECT GUIDELINES
1. Collaboration Over Ownership
This coffee project is a shared creation.
We’re looking for a barista who enjoys building systems together, not managing them alone.
You are here to contribute your experience and help us understand how things work, so the knowledge stays within the home even when you’re not present.
2. Knowledge Sharing Is Essential
We value transparency and learning.
Please be open to:
Explaining your pocesses
Sharing recipes, workflows, and reasoning
Teaching us how to maintain consistency without you
We don’t believe in gatekeeping systems or knowledge. Our goal is to eventually build and train a local team — your role helps lay that foundation.
3. Respect for Equipment & Tools
We provide quality coffee equipment and tools.
Use all equipment with care
Do not modify, repair, or change setups without discussing first
Report issues immediately if something feels off or breaks
Respect for tools reflects respect for the craft.
4. No Ego, No Hierarchy
We deeply value skill — but we value humility and communication even more.
Be open to discussion and feedback
Avoid “my way only” mentalities
We experiment together and refne as a team
This is a learning environment, not a stage.
5. Systems Before Speed
Consistency, cleanliness, and clarity matter more than volume.
Document processes when possible
Keep systems simple and understandable
Help us build workflows that others can follow
This ensures the project can grow sustainably.
6. Ask Before Changing Things
Initiative is welcome — uncommunicated changes are not.
Before changing:
Recipes
Roasting profiles
Equipment setup
Storage or fermentation methods
Please ask and discuss first. We value ideas, but alignment matters.
