THE PERSON BEHIND THE POUR.01 / MEET BARISTA KHAN
Behind every cup,
there’s a person.
I’m Emrajul Khan Dipu.
You can call me Barista Khan.
For more than a decade, my work has brought together the many sides of coffee: espresso, latte art, café management, beverage innovation, and the people who make it all happen.
Today, as Head Instructor at Sylhet Specialty Coffee Academy, I share that experience with aspiring baristas. My focus is simple: understand the process, practise with purpose, and build consistency.
