From time to time, people will ask the editor: how can I become a barista?

We know that in English, baristas are called "Barista". In the past, the word Barista was used to refer to an expert in making related drinks such as espresso. Before that, baristas were directly called espresso handlers (espresso puller), because at that time most espresso machines had handles.

In modern times, our common sense is that the person who makes coffee at the bar is the barista. Indeed, a qualified barista is not only a technical operator who can make coffee, but also a person who knows how to evaluate coffee, identify coffee, understand coffee culture, and promote coffee culture. Barista is the disseminator of coffee, not just a "waiter" engaged in bar service.

Do you have any idea when you get here? Before thinking about how to become baristas, we may have to think about what kind of baristas we want to be.

But then again, some baristas' skill points are not only added to coffee-related technology, but even skewed to other places?

Every barista is on the road to becoming an artist.

And in Japan. There are musicians delayed by coffee in a coffee shop in the shopping mall YOTSUBAKO, where they can bring guests a cup of delicious coffee and play outside!

As can be seen from the video, the staff of the coffee shop picked up their instruments and left the shop after making coffee and began her performance. Then, more and more shop assistants joined in the performance, and finally even the guests sitting outside joined in.

This kind of street performance is not said to be arranged in advance, but the work of baristas is also ornamental. Whether it is hospitality service, revealing your pre-stored knowledge to guests, or standing at the bar for guests to hand-flush, make Italian style and pull flowers, these are all a "performance" in the eyes of guests.

The coffee shop and the bar are the barista's stage, and you stand there as pleasing to the eye as playing a musical instrument on the street. No wonder baristas are one of the most popular occupations among young people nowadays.

Finally, baristas here, come and show your special skills. What else can you do but make coffee?
