A barista refers to a professional barista who is familiar with coffee culture, making methods and skills. From about 1990, the word Barista was used in Italian to refer to an expert in making espresso-related drinks.

With the improvement of national economy and consumption level, barista has become a comprehensive occupation in China. In addition to basic coffee drinks, it is also required to master some other production methods, including milk tea, fruit juice, mixed drinks, cocktails, western-style cakes, western-style simple meals and so on.

According to reports, the barista's judgment depends not only on the taste of his coffee, but also on whether the bean powder overflows when grinding and pouring coffee beans, whether the thickness of the milk bubble lasts, whether there are beautiful flowers on the cappuccino (the real cappuccino does not pull flowers), and even whether the coffee set he puts is correct.

Therefore, a barista should have the following qualities. First of all, you should have good taste and visual discrimination. There are actually more than 3,000 flavors of coffee, but the main flavors are also five, sour, fragrant, bitter, sweet and mellow.

Therefore, the barista needs to make all five flavors in a few tens of seconds, and needs to observe beans, powder, foam and machines. Master the temperature of the machine, the pressure of water and the proportion of coffee beans, and all links should be well coordinated.
