i. Biography
Coffee work in Colombia carries a short line between farm, roast, bar, and competition service. In Diego Campos’s case, that line runs through Bogotá, Amor Perfecto, Finca El Diamante, and the World Barista Championship in 2021: roasting, bar service, ownership, and representation of Colombian coffee on a global stage.
The Path
Roasting at Amor Perfecto, Bogotá, Colombia, from 2008 gave the work its first technical frame: green coffee, heat application, batch discipline, and the sensory decisions that connect production to service. Diego Campos entered coffee there as a roaster, then moved into Professional Barista work at the same establishment. The later addition of Finca El Diamante, Belen, Huila, Colombia, placed farm ownership alongside bar work, keeping cultivation and service in the same working vocabulary without separating origin from presentation.
The Work Today
Professional Barista work at Amor Perfecto is the public-facing end of a chain that also includes roasting experience and farm ownership. Diego Campos works within that chain as a Professional Barista at Amor Perfecto and as Owner of Finca El Diamante, bringing Colombian coffee through production, preparation, and service contexts with the same materials in view.
