We’re looking for team members to support our efforts in bringing delicious Blue Bottle NOLA and Cold Brew to guests everywhere. You’ll be instrumental in getting our delicious coffee brewed, kegged, canned, packaged, and loaded in our facility in West Berkeley.

You will:

  • Possess a thorough understanding of how to safely and responsibly use all filler line equipment.

  • SAs needed, help the brewery team with grinding coffee and mashing in. These two smaller tasks will prepare you to learn key foundational elements of cold brew production.
  • Help stock and organize received materials within the facility, making them accessible to our production team.
  • Always leave your station and the warehouse in impeccable shape: sweeping, organizing, and cleaning the floor after each production run. Make sure to complete all checklists.
  • Support your team members as needed in keeping production running smoothly.
  • Have the opportunity to participate in QC tastings and cuppings as needed to develop and strengthen your palate.
  • Follow and support all Food Safety, Quality, and Good Manufacturing Practices rules and regulations.

  • Highly professional, you’re serious about your work but don’t take yourself too seriously

  • Delightful to work with and have a sense of humor and infectious ‘can-do’ attitude
  • Reliable and consistent, your team can always depend on you to be punctual, dedicated and bringing your A-game 
  • Comfortable operating machinery and lifting up to 50 lbs as part of your work on a daily basis

You have:

What We Do

“Blue Bottle is coffee and people. Not necessarily in that order.”
—James Freeman, Founder

In our eyes, coffee’s main purpose is to be delicious. We go to great lengths to source, roast, taste, and prepare coffee so our guests can enjoy it at peak deliciousness.

We know that good coffee depends on strong community. We work directly with farmers around the world to source our coffees as sustainably and ethically as we can. We hire team members who are dedicated to creating beautiful experiences with coffee.

From the farm to the cafe, our coffee is handled by people who care.
