What is a barista?
The term barista comes from the Italian and means “bartender”. It does not matter whether it is a pure espresso bar or a cocktail bar. In English-speaking countries and now also in German-speaking countries, the term “barista” has become established for people who work in a café and prepare the drinks there. In a sense, one is a “coffee sommelier”.
