Too feckin old.
I was drivig this morning and there was a woman on the radio going on about how good her barista was, was he some form of beauty guru or yoga instructor...it took me a few minutes to work out it was the bloke who made her coffee. It was as if he was an angel from heaven the way she described what he did.
For gods sake he is the man who presses a button onn the super modern bean to cup machine...a five year old could do it, but he gets a title that glorifies a waiter/barman type occupation.
I'll stick to a cup of tea at the local greasy spoon.

I think baristas do a bit more than push a button, but equally I don't get the fuss made over them. I know there are lots of coffee types available now, probably a couple of dozen even before multiplying the choices by having different beans, caffeine strengths, milks etc, but it can't be that hard, can it?
Mind you, I speak as someone who only drinks black coffee, so I never see anything else made. 😁

The Italian for coffee shop is "bar", so a male coffee shop worker is a baristo and a female a barista
