With recent events shaking up parts of the specialty coffee world, we take a dive into the part of that world which everyday coffee customers never really see. A Barista may just appear to be someone who makes your coffee, but there are years of training - skills in not just making coffee but social understanding and management - which go into making your experience in a cafe great.
