Barista

A barista is a trained professional who specializes in preparing and serving coffee and espresso-based beverages. They work in coffee shops or cafes, where they craft drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and mochas, often creating intricate designs with milk foam. Baristas have knowledge of coffee beans, brewing methods, and equipment, and they may also engage with customers, offering recommendations and ensuring a pleasant experience. Their role involves both technical skills and a passion for coffee culture, often extending to an understanding of flavor profiles and the origins of different coffee varieties.
