Logistics is an absolutely critical, though little-seen, component of green coffee importing and the coffee industry as a whole. Scheduling and overseeing the movement of coffee from producing countries to consuming countries is high risk, high stakes and high stress. Thus, we couldn't be more grateful to have brilliant and deeply experienced Logistics professionals on our teams at Neumann Kaffee Gruppe (NKG) and Neumann Gruppe USA (NGUS).

Please join us for an introductory conversation discussing:
• How coffee moves, from a macro perspective.
• How Logistics has changed since the pandemic.
• What the work requires and the jobs it offers.

The majority of us working in coffee came to the industry through cafes. These classic “third spaces” offer community, purpose, important professional and life skills, and a view into a rich, fascinating industry. But often, they don’t offer much room for the vertical growth that can be desired as we continue through life’s next stages. This conversation will consider the possibilities for leaving the barista bar but remaining in coffee.

We'll discuss:
• Examples of coffee and coffee-adjacent industries
• Types of roles and lifestyles
• Potential next steps toward a career in coffee.

We'll be hosting cuppings at the show Oct. 11 and 12, and nothing could make us happier than to have you join us! To rsvp or learn more, please drop a note to customerservice.hoboken@nkg.coffee.
