Apple Is Hiring an iCup Supply Specialist to Keep Fresh Coffee Flowing for Employees

At a Glance (China Coffee Network): Apple has posted an unusual job listing for an "iCup Supply Specialist" whose main job is to make sure every Apple employee can get freshly brewed coffee in the break room.

IT Home reported on October 5 that Apple recently posted a rather special job listing, hiring an “iCup Supply Specialist” whose main responsibility is to ensure that “all Apple employees can get freshly brewed coffee in the break room.”

According to the listing, the new hire will drive between Apple’s various office locations and look after up to 90 fully automatic coffee machines that go “from bean to cup.” Specific duties include disinfecting and cleaning the machines, replenishing coffee beans and other consumables, and handling day-to-day equipment management.

In fact, this is not Apple’s first time using the “iCup” job title—it can essentially be seen as a special in-house nickname for baristas, a name that traces back at least to 2014, when Apple hired a technician “responsible for maintaining iCup coffee equipment.”
