About a month ago, we caught up with Tanty Hartono and Rivo Trie Septiadiguna, who, by that time had started making use of the donations made from the purchase of Coffee Wristbands. After Tanty met up with Rivo, they decided that the money would be used to obtain essential tools for the cherry pickers and 5kg of rice for each of the 20 people in Rivo’s area.

We received an update from Rivo as the coffee pickers purchased for the farmers have arrived to make cherry-picking easier and faster. This is in addition to the advice and assistance they previously provided to these farmers.
Tanty and Rivo’s gestures show that the Coffee Wristbands Program is benefiting the lives of people we may not know, but we drink coffee from beans picked by them. This is a transparent program as all contributors and partners can see the fruit of their support, not just mere talk.
This project aims to provide real help for coffee people in need. Real caring is giving without asking for anything in return – the main aim of I’M NOT A BARISTA.
Did you notice our wristbands at MICE in Melbourne? We had a handful of wristbands at the event with AREMDE and the barista league, but we only received 10% in payments. We want to continue improving the livelihood of coffee people from all over the world and we cannot do this without your help and support.
If you are interested in the new limited design, we still have a few left. You can order them on our website or that of our partners. The world may be crazy, but we won’t change our beliefs or stop what we do. Our mission to help coffee people in need has not changed and will not change, even if we have very little to offer.

What is the Coffee Wristbands Charity Program?
Coffee Wristbands Charity Program aims to bridge you and your local coffee community, and the international coffee people from all over the world. Coffee Wristbands is a fundraising program that brings coffee artists together for collaborations on projects that give back to the coffee community.
How does the charity program works?
1. The I’M NOT A BARISTA team supports collaborations with coffee professionals worldwide. We showcase their ideas, recipes, and designs, and translate their needs into action.
2. We collaborate with coffee shops that share our values of giving back to the coffee community.
3. Together, we make direct donations to baristas in need using the proceeds from the coffee wristbands.
4. You can help a coffee professional by purchasing a coffee wristband from us or our partners. This greatly supports the local and global coffee community.
When you purchase a coffee wristband directly from I’M NOT A BARISTA, the profits will go to the #tipabarista campaign, which donates directly to coffee professionals through international wire transfer. However, all our charity partners are required to donate a minimum of 50% of the coffee wristband profit to their local coffee community. This means that the profit will be used to help coffee professionals in our charity partner’s city or country. We believe this is the best way to create a movement of Doing Good and help our local coffee community, and we hope to inspire other businesses to do the same.
Can I trust I'M NOT A BARISTA?
To keep this program as transparent as possible, we build a special page where you can track what we do with the funds raised from the coffee wristbands.
You can track I’M NOT A BARISTA’s charity progress here https://notabarista.org/tipabarista-donation-tracking/. We will publish the charity status and progress later, stay tuned.
Where does the money go when I donate to your organization?
Purchasing the wristband directly from I’M NOT A BARISTA helps the coffee community by donating 100% of the profit to a barista in need. If the wristband is purchased through one of our partners, at least 50% of the funds go to local baristas in need.
