23 - Should You Tip Your Barista? (Part I)

23 - Should You Tip Your Barista? (Part I)

In this episode of The Equal Parts Coffee Podcast, we’re diving into a hot topic that everyone’s got an opinion about: Should you tip your barista?


Before we get into it, Nic shares some big life updates and we taste through a Kenya from Klatch Coffee's Pearl Reserve that is absolutely delicious, with notes of grapefruit and cranberry. We also talk about what’s new at Mundos, including the new mobile coffee van at the Sara Hardy's farmer's market.


Then we get into the nuance of tipping culture:

- Where tipping actually came from (spoiler: not “To Insure Prompt Service”)

- Why tip prompts are everywhere now — even before you get your drink

- How tipping affects pricing, wages, and the coffee industry as a whole


We’re not here to rant or preach, just to talk honestly about how weird tipping culture has gotten, especially in coffee. This is Part 1 of the conversation, so stay tuned for the next episode!
