Welcome to The Non-Binary Barista!

My name is Brit Alexandria and I am a writer, content creator, and coffee educator based in Portland, Oregon. I have been living and writing online since 2006, and have worked in coffee since 2017. After three years of working in coffee, I realized that I wanted a space to talk about coffee, gender, and the people I came to know in the industry. As I got to know people, I soon realized that I was not the only queer person working in coffee and, in January, 2020, The Non-Binary Barista blog was born.

What really gets me fired up is trying new brewing methods and training people how to taste coffee, but really? It is the amazing conversations and meetings that happen over coffee and tea that inspires me to keep working in the industry and contributing ways to make it better.

The Non-Binary Barista is a blog dedicated to shedding light on issues of gender and workplace dynamics in the coffee industry as well as providing resources for those that work in it. Each week, I will share articles based on my experiences and observations through the lens of being a non-binary queer person working in coffee.
