Allround Operator III at Starbucks Amsterdam Roasting Plant

At Starbucks, we believe that our people are the heart of our success. Behind every cup of coffee and every delicious product is a dedicated team member who contributes to our vibrant and diverse culture. Today, we’re excited to introduce Jermaine Bromet, a talented Allround Operator III at our Amsterdam Roasting Plant. Jermaine’s energy, passion, and sense of joy make him a true asset to our team, and we’re thrilled to share a little bit about him with you.

A Love for Diversity and the Roasting Plant Environment

Jermaine has been with Starbucks for eight years, and one of the things he loves most about working at the Amsterdam Roasting Plant is the environment and the diversity. "Both the coffee and the diversity of people make a great combination," Jermaine shares. It’s clear that Starbucks’ inclusive atmosphere and commitment to crafting exceptional coffee resonate with him deeply. His role allows him to interact with a range of people and work in an environment that fuels both creativity and collaboration. It’s a place where Jermaine can truly thrive and contribute to the magic behind every cup.

Joy: The Starbucks Value That Resonates Most

When asked to choose one of Starbucks’ core values that speaks to him most, Jermaine chose Joy. "I have a lot of fun being in this company," he says. From the team dynamic to the shared passion for coffee, it’s clear that Jermaine’s joy comes from the camaraderie and the energy that flows through the Starbucks culture. It’s not just about producing great coffee – it’s about having fun while doing it, and that sense of happiness is contagious!

A Few Surprising Facts About Jermaine

You might know Jermaine as the friendly, dedicated operator at the Roasting Plant, but did you know that he’s a fan of calisthenics? “I do calisthenics, and not a lot of people know what that is,” he reveals. Calisthenics is a form of strength training that uses your body weight to build muscle – and Jermaine’s commitment to fitness is just one of the many reasons he’s such a strong presence on the team!

And when he’s not working up a sweat in the gym, Jermaine is likely unwinding on the golf course. "I love to play golf, so when I do have spare time, you might find me on the driver’s range." It’s a perfect way for him to relax, clear his mind, and enjoy the outdoors.

From Suriname to the Netherlands: A Global Perspective

Jermaine’s background adds even more depth to his connection with the diversity he celebrates at work. Born in Suriname and raised in the Netherlands, Jermaine has experienced multiple cultures firsthand. His unique perspective not only enriches his personal life but also his approach to teamwork and collaboration in the workplace.

A Dream of Ambition

As for dreams, Jermaine is aiming high: "I want to be a billionaire," he says. Whether it’s through his work at Starbucks or his personal endeavours, Jermaine is driven to succeed and make an impact. With his positive attitude and relentless work ethic, there’s no doubt that he’s on the path to achieving big things!

A Taste for Suriname Cuisine and Espresso

When it comes to food, Jermaine has a soft spot for Suriname restaurants. He enjoys the rich, flavourful dishes that remind him of his roots. And of course, no morning is complete without his favourite Starbucks drink: an espresso. "When I wake up, I get my breakfast with an espresso," Jermaine says. A simple but perfect way to start the day!
