Average salary of a barista
Before diving into the world of coffee, it is important to understand the financial opportunities available to baristas. The average salary for a barista depends on many factors, such as experience level, region of work, type of establishment, and many others.
The Benefits of Online Barista Training
- Study at a convenient time and place. Online learning is an opportunity to study at a convenient time and place for you. There is no need to waste time on the road to the educational institution
- More hours of practice. Online school allows students to get more hours of practice than traditional training centers. If in a training center you have a couple of days for a few hours, then in an online school you can practice 24/7.
- Lectures can always be re-watched. Another plus is the ability to re-watch lectures at any convenient time. If you don’t understand something or you’ve forgotten the information, you can always return to the materials.
- You can study directly on the equipment you will work on. If you already work in a coffee shop, you can take online training later on the equipment you work on.
The Cons of Online Barista Training
- Equipment. You can study the theory and watch video tutorials, but without practice on a professional coffee machine, it is difficult to develop skills. And if you do not have the equipment, then this can be a problem.
- Concentration during online learning. It is not always convenient to work from home due to home or work issues, which can worsen the quality of learning.
While online learning has its benefits, it's important to be aware of its downsides and try to compensate for them with additional hands-on training and networking with real-world peers.

Containers Fall From Ships During Storm Goretti, Raising Alarms Over Maritime Safety
Storm Goretti has left a trail of disruption across land and sea, but one of its most serious and less visible impacts unfolded far offshore. As violent winds and towering waves battered shipping routes, dozens of cargo containers were reported to have fallen from commercial vessels, reigniting global concerns about maritime safety, supply chain resilience, and environmental risks. A Storm That Tested the Seas Storm Goretti arrived with little mercy. Meteorological agencies warned of hurricane-force gusts, sudden pressure drops, and waves reaching dangerous heights. While coastal communities braced for flooding and transport chaos, cargo ships already at sea had no choice but to ride out the storm. Modern container ships are engineered to withstand rough weather, but Goretti proved unusually volatile. Rapid shifts in wind direction and wave patterns caused ships to roll violently, placing extreme stress on container stacks. In several confirmed incidents, lashings failed, stacks collapsed, and containers were swept overboard. What Happens When Containers Fall? A single container can weigh up to 30 tonnes when fully loaded. When dozens fall into the sea, the consequences are immediate and long-lasting. Some containers sink quickly, but others float just below the surface, becoming invisible hazards for fishing boats, ferries, and yachts. Maritime authorities issued navigation warnings after reports confirmed drifting debris along major shipping lanes. Beyond navigation risks, the contents of the containers pose another threat. While many carry consumer goods, others may hold chemicals, plastics, electronics, or industrial materials. When submerged, these items can leak, break apart, or disperse across marine ecosystems. Environmental Risks Beneath the Waves Environmental groups have raised serious concerns about the ecological impact. Lost containers often release microplastics, packaging materials, and synthetic fibers that persist in the ocean for decades. Marine animals can ingest debris or become entangled, leading to injury or death. Past incidents have shown how container spills can wash ashore months later, scattering household goods, footwear, and packaging across coastlines. Cleanup efforts are expensive, slow, and often incomplete, leaving local communities and wildlife to bear the long-term cost. Storm Goretti’s container losses have once again highlighted how extreme weather events amplify environmental vulnerabilities at sea. A Growing Problem in Global Shipping Container losses are not new, but their frequency appears to be rising. Experts point to several contributing factors: larger ships, higher container stacks, tighter shipping schedules, and increasingly severe weather linked to climate change. Modern mega-ships carry more containers than ever before, stacked higher to maximize efficiency. While this reduces transport costs, it also raises the center of gravity, making vessels more susceptible to rolling in extreme seas. Storm Goretti exposed how even well-equipped ships can be pushed beyond their limits when weather systems intensify faster than forecasts predict. Impact on Global Supply Chains The immediate loss of cargo disrupts supply chains already under strain. Businesses waiting for goods face delays, shortages, and insurance claims. Ports may experience congestion as damaged ships are rerouted for inspections or repairs. For smaller companies, a lost container can be financially devastating. Even with insurance, claims can take months to resolve, affecting cash flow and customer trust. In an interconnected global economy, what happens hundreds of miles offshore can ripple through markets, prices, and delivery timelines worldwide. Calls for Stronger Regulations In the aftermath of Storm Goretti, maritime safety experts are calling for stricter international standards. Proposals include improved container lashing systems, better real-time weather routing, and limits on stacking heights during storm seasons. Some argue that shipping schedules should allow more flexibility, enabling vessels to slow down or change course without financial penalties. Others emphasize the need for improved tracking technology so lost containers can be located and recovered more quickly. There are also renewed calls for transparency, as container losses are often underreported unless they pose immediate danger. Climate Change and the Future of Shipping Storm Goretti is part of a broader pattern. Scientists warn that warming oceans are fueling stronger and more unpredictable storms. As extreme weather becomes more common, shipping companies may face an uncomfortable choice: adapt rapidly or accept growing losses and risks. The shipping industry moves nearly 90% of global trade. Ensuring its safety is not just a commercial issue—it is a global priority. A Wake-Up Call at Sea Containers falling from ships during Storm Goretti serve as a stark reminder that even the most advanced global systems are vulnerable to nature’s force. What appears as an isolated maritime incident is, in reality, a complex challenge involving safety, environment, commerce, and climate resilience. As investigations continue, one thing is clear: storms like Goretti are no longer rare exceptions. They are becoming the new test of how prepared the world truly is for a changing climate—and whether lessons at sea will be learned before the next storm arrives.
