Welcome to the June + July 2025 issue of Barista Magazine!
We’re thrilled to feature Spain’s Dara Santana on the cover of this special issue. Dara is a chemical engineer specializing in merging the senses with the science of coffee. Specifically, her work has had an enormous impact on water quality development for coffee. It’s why she’s known in specialty coffee circles as the Water Wizard.
Here are some of the other awesome features in this brand-new issue:
• Check out the poster we created for you that charts everything you need to know to stay on top of preventative maintenance for your café equipment!
• We all know plant milks taste differently than dairy, but how do they vary in performance when prepared for espresso drinks? We dive deep into this subject in the article, “From Oat to Art.”
• Is the C Market more scary than it’s ever been? Not necessarily. “Thrills & Chills: Riding the Supply, Demands, and Disruptions of Today’s C Market” was put together with café owners in mind.
• Hey, it’s Jenna G! We’re stoked to feature longtime educator, competitor, barista advocate, and WNBA superfan Jenna Gotthelf in this issue’s “One on One.”
And there’s so much more! Matthew Campbell answers equipment questions in “Tech Talk”! Laila Ghambari talks pop-ups! We get into the nitty gritty of the controversy surrounding infused and co-fermented coffees. We visit the vibrant café scene in Aarhus, Denmark. We learn about Little Waves Coffee’s extraordinary Curious project, and much, much more!
