My Story
Hi, I am Rohit, also known as Nemokeigan. My journey into the world of coffee started in 2019 as a simple fascination—watching skilled baristas craft beautiful, intricate designs on lattes ignited a deep curiosity in me. What began as admiration quickly turned into a hands-on pursuit, spending countless hours refining my skills, experimenting with milk texturing, and perfecting the delicate balance between espresso and art.
With over six years of experience in the Australian coffee industry, I have dedicated myself to mastering the craft of coffee making and latte art design. Through years of working as a barista, I developed not just technical skills but a deep respect for the art, science, and culture that surround coffee. Competing in several latte art competitions became a way for me to challenge myself, push creative boundaries, and refine my techniques to a world-class level.
My Notable Achievements include:
-
2024 Alternative Championship Team Edition (First Place)
-
2023 Vittoria Barista Smackdown (First Place)
-
2023 Australia's Alternative Barista (Second Place)
-
