Anuj Kumar, India
Roastery Coffee House
Please tell us a little about yourself:
I’m a barista and latte artist from India. I’ve been working in the coffee industry for several years and enjoy expressing creativity through latte art. Competing allows me to share my passion, learn from the global coffee community, and continue growing as an artist and coffee professional.
What are you excited to do while you are in San Diego?
I’m excited to explore the local coffee culture, visit specialty cafés, meet other coffee professionals, and experience the city’s culture and food.
What are your interests outside of coffee?
I enjoy art and creative design, traveling, photography, and learning about environmental issues and sustainability.
Is there anyone you’d like to thank?
I would like to thank my company, Roastery Coffee House, for their continuous support. I’m especially grateful to my boss, Nishant sir, for his constant encouragement, belief in my abilities, and for giving me the opportunity and support to grow in the coffee industry. I would also like to thank my trainer and mentor, Mohd Afsar sir, for his guidance, knowledge, and help in preparing for this competition.
