Behind the Bar: Meet Marco, Our Head Barista
If you’re a regular at Cuppo Caffe, there’s a good chance Marco already knows your order. He’ll have spotted you walking up the street, started pulling your shot, and have your cup ready on the counter by the time you reach the register. That’s not a party trick — that’s eight years of dedication, instinct, and genuine love for the craft.
Marco Viteri joined our team three years ago after honing his skills at specialty cafés in Melbourne and Sydney. He brought with him a deep knowledge of espresso extraction, milk texturing, and — perhaps most importantly — how to make every customer feel genuinely welcome from the moment they walk through the door.
“Coffee is about more than the drink,” Marco says. “It’s about the two minutes someone gets to pause their morning. I take that seriously.”
When he’s not behind the bar, Marco runs our monthly in-house brewing workshops, where customers can learn everything from grind settings and tamping technique to pour-over and cold brew methods. Spots fill up fast — check our social media for the next available date.
Next time you’re in, say hello. He’ll probably already be making your coffee.
