From the time she was 16 years old, Morgan Eckroth loved coffee - not just the taste, but the art of serving it. Since then, her life has been wholly coffee-centric: from working as a barista to making TikTok videos of latte art and sketches based on her experiences working in coffee houses. In 2022, Morgan entered the U.S. Barista Championship tournament and emerged as that year's champion. And she says she has more to say about coffee at this year's competition.

It was really great talking with you all, thanks for letting me be a part of the Make It series! The world of competitive baristas is new to a lot of people and it’s always so much fun to talk about. One clarification on my position in marketing at Onyx, I began the job mid-2022 so the numbers in this piece are just reflective of the partial year I worked.

Great job Morgan🎉

Misleading headline

@TheCrystalbrite Год назад

Misleading title. She doesn't make 141k a year as a barista. She makes 17k a year as a barista and 96k a year online.

@tomphan6397 Год назад

Barista makes 17-24 hr, manager 50 hr, 141k at top 1% compared other careers 250k-500k at top 1%. Anything for clickbait title lol

@adeyosola414 Год назад

She was referred to as a barista champion; nothing was implied that she makes the money from being a barista. It's just like saying ''Beauty Queen makes 141k a year" doesn't mean she makes the money from being a beauty queen: we are the ones who add extra meaning due to the way our brains functions but I understand what you mean.

@clxrnce Год назад

Unless the title was changed, it says Barista CHAMP making 141k a year. They don't actually just call her just a barista, though your point still stands since your average person probably doesn't know what that is and would just assume that she gets paid more because she's the "best barista" in the US.

@TheCrystalbrite Год назад

@@adeyosola414 You know that IS clickbait right? Vague, misleading titles.

@alp.9672 Год назад

I knew it was misleading title before I clicked on the video.

@rosat2770 Год назад

I love her RU-vid channel. She really is the sweetest person. Great job Morgan!

@DeanBKK Год назад

The investment in the competitions seems like an excellent return on her investment. She now has a title of "US Barista Champion," so no matter what she does in the future, whether it's opening her own coffee shop, writing a book on how to become a barista, etc.... she can always market her products/services with that title.

@JakeDenning Год назад

I think “coffee parties” would be a neat thing for them to offer in the future - $50 to show up to a shop, receive a bag of coffee, and then get coaching on how to optimize their ideal cup of coffee. I think a lot of people don’t know how to do that.

@willie8229 Год назад

I watched Morgan online for the World Barista Competition. I was so impressed with her poise and confidence given she was under very watchful and critical eyes of the judges. Congratulations Morgan...glad to hear you'll continue competing. Onward and Upward! 👍🎉

@soyellowsoviolent Год назад

Barista champion who makes $17,000 from her barista job says a lot

@sovrappensiero1 Год назад

This was actually a really cool video!! I appreciate how the video presented how much time and money she spent out of pocket. $4k+ is a lot for a barista salary! It’s great for others to know what kind of income/savings you need just to participate in the initial competition itself.

@financebae Год назад

She seems so sweet & passionate! Love to see creatives living off of their craft❤️

@charlieb7728 Год назад

Imagine being the best barista in the United States and second best in the entire world and still only being paid 15/hr?? Like that can't be serious????? Give her a freaking raise, that part was really shocking to me.

@shaunlepaks5370 Год назад

Cafes already don't make as much as restaurants cause it only sells coffee and deserts. So, how can you expect one to pay 5-6k per month? And 7-8k is definitely unrealistic. Plus, the fancy title won't be valid in the long run since you're only a champion for one year. This is why most baristas turn to office jobs that pay much more since they offer a sustainable career.

@kensigregory361 Год назад

17k yearly is less than 15.00/hr. That means she gets paid way less than 10 an hour. If it weren't for online platforms she'd be struggling. That cafe is ripping her off.

@bluefish537 4 месяца назад

@@kensigregory361 it's not just that cafe. it's all coffee chains like Starbucks. $15 is on the higher end too, probably because she works in a major city. It is a shame that the jobs that are enjoyable also tend to be the lowest paying.

@amazeedayzee 3 месяца назад

@@kensigregory361 this comment is 8 months old, but it should be noted for anyone watching now that it is written in the video that her barista work is PART TIME. 20 hours a week at 15/hour is 15600 a year. she almost certainly works less than 20 hours a week given her other jobs, and you also have to factor in tips that get added to her hourly pay

@kelsilulu 2 месяца назад

That job helps her make the real money she makes online and with other businesses. It also helps her keep up with her craft

Been watching her since she had 900 subs right before the pandemic. Why wasn’t her coffee bean brand mentioned here? It’s amazing to see how far she came in such a short time. Keep it up Morgan!

the income streams are mindblowing to me. especially the fact just how little you'd make from being a barista (even if this is from parttime, and it has a higher wage than I would have)

Another business model could be a barista competition prep coach. There may not be many people who do it but there might be demand in a niche market. Although it may result in more competition against herself it’s just an idea.

The title of this is misinforming people. When you watch the video she shares that she has three jobs which make up the amount in the title. Please be informed that the average Barista salary is not this and this is not true information based on the meaning of the American pretty general/average job position and description and pay.

trading with an expert is the best strategy and also profitable, Newbies who are not aware of how crypto truly works and wish to make profits from it, I would advise to invest with a professional like Fergus waylen, It helps secure and minimize the possibilities of losses.

I believe for sure he's the best in this Cryptocurrency, I've heard a lot about he's success stories

@gardenwonder7977 11 месяцев назад

This is why I stopped buying coffee. Coffee costs almost nothing to make and people want to charge crazy amounts for it. Like starbucks $10. You can't even imagine the kind of profit that makes. Coffee, to easy for me to make someone else rich.
