What is a coffee barista?

Answer 1

Me! lmao

Here is some background on the meaning of barista.

Entered into English from the Italian, in which barista has a meaning roughly synonymous with "bartender" (plural: baristi [masculine or mixed sex] or bariste [feminine]). The term is derived from the Italian use of the word bar, which is similar to the American or British café. Italian bar are ubiquitous, and can be found in practically every Italian town, no matter how small. The barista typically works behind a counter, serving both coffee and alcohol, and usally also small sandwiches and refreshments.

When using the term in English, a barista denotes one who has acquired some level of expertise in the preparation of espresso-based coffee drinks. Its meaning is expanding to include what might be called a coffee sommelier, who is highly skilled in espresso preparation, with a comprehensive understanding of coffee, coffee blends, quality, coffee varieties, roast degree, espresso equipment, maintenance, and performance, latte art, etc.

Answer 2

The pursuit for quality coffee includes finding a skilled barista - the person who makes the drinks at an espresso bar or coffeehouse. In Italy, barista is a coveted title. It's a career that requires significant apprenticeship and for which no one would assume the title unless he or she could profess to having dedicated time and practice to this art. Here in the United States, the term barista is given to anyone who happens to be standing within ten feet of an espresso machine, whether he or she is truly skilled at the job or not. So how do you determine if the person making your drinks is truly a skilled barista? Here are some clues to watch for:

Do they know their coffee? If you ask your barista where the coffee he or she is serving comes from, and the response is, "Whoever we buy it from," or some other meaningless equivalent, then that person should not be your barista. If the answer is delivered with confidence and pride, including the name of their roaster (or maybe they are the roaster), the flavor style of the blend, how fresh it is, etc., then the barista passes this test.

From Bean To Barista.

Want to know what goes on in the time between sowing a coffee bean and finally drinking it at Barista Espresso Bars? We've got two versions of the story. The first is instant. Here goes…the coffee beans are grown. Carefully sorted, graded, roasted, blended and packaged immediately. After which, they are imported to a Barista Espresso Bar and freshly brewed for you. The end.

As you can see, the instant option doesn't really provide much satisfaction. To really appreciate coffee, you need some amount of brewing time. Spare a few minutes to learn about the process in five easy steps. Or four hundred and eighty two words to be precise.

Green - The wonderful colour of coffee.

Selecting the bean: Sourcing the best green or unroasted coffee beans is the first step, and an important one, in the search for good coffee. Green beans come in two varieties - Lime and Lemon. Well, not really. It's actually Arabica and Robusta. At Barista Coffee, we use only high-grade Arabica beans, as they are superior and far more flavourful than Robusta beans.

The average elevation to produce these top grade Arabicas ranges from 3,500 to 7,000 feet. The cooler temperatures here allow the beans to mature gradually, intensifying their flavour in the process. We source the finest beans from around the world and also grow coffees on our estates in the regions of Coorg, Chickmagalur and Hassan. So what you get are only the best quality beans. While
