What is Barista Coffee?  
   
  Barista Coffee was found in 1997. The company is currently running 34 stores and a roasting plant with 2 roasters namely Probat L 25(each batch 25 kilo) and Probat G 120(each batch 120 kilo). Barista Coffee is considered a major competitor to Starbucks Coffee in Taiwan. The brand name “Barista” is derived from Italian, which means “bartender for coffee” in English. The rationale to adopt the name “Barista Coffee” is to convey our respect and spirit of pursuing the goal to provide our customers with a perfect cup of COFFEE.
  Though we are a small company without deep pocket, we are willing to take the risk in investing superior beans because of our passion for coffee. Our passion and determination in providing superior quality of coffee to our customers have made us unique and competitive in the Taiwan coffee market. The prices of Barista Coffee’s Espresso drinks are higher than Starbucks’ by 40 cents on average. Despite the higher price level that our company serves, customers did not resist our products. Instead, the high-price of our products has successfully differentiated our company from others in the market. Most students and youngsters made Starbucks the choice for their coffees, but white collars and professionals preferred Barista Coffee for its stronger and tastier flavor. Over the past four years, Barista Coffee has roasted more than five hundred tons of coffee just to quench the Taiwanese thirst for specialty coffee.
