Concept

The theme for my video is student coffee addiction but I am looking at it 

from the point of view from the baristas making and serving the 

beverages. I want to explore the opinions of the people who have to put 

up with the legions of students buying coffee from them every day. Can 

they identify a customer that is a student as opposed to a non-student? Do 

they get sick and tired of serving the same students day in and day out? 

Do the students that they serve buy their coffee at a specific time of the 

day or even at a certain time in the year?  

 

I want to explore the ideas that there is an equal number of students 

buying coffee as there are non-students and that they only get their coffee 

to take away rather than have it at a café because of the hectic pace of 

the student lifestyle. These trends are what I want to look into for the 

documentary. I especially want to talk about how the coffee drinking habits 

of students differ from everyone else.  

 

I want to see if there is any identifiable difference between a student 

coffee drinker compared to a non-student as viewed by the barista serving 

them.
