Frequently asked questions
A barista is a person trained in preparing and serving coffee-based beverages, especially espresso drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos. They often work in cafés or coffee shops and are skilled in both drink-making and customer service.
The correct spelling is barista—with one "r". “Barrista” is a common misspelling and has no meaning in the context of coffee or hospitality.
A barista specialises in non-alcoholic drinks like coffee and espresso, while a bartender prepares and serves alcoholic beverages. Both roles require customer service skills, but they operate in different environments and with different tools.
A barista’s job includes making coffee drinks, operating espresso machines, frothing milk, and maintaining a clean workspace. They also interact with customers, take orders, and sometimes assist with food service or inventory.
Barista work can be a rewarding career for those who enjoy fast-paced environments, creativity, and customer interaction. It also offers flexibility and opportunities to grow into roles like café management, roasting, or coffee education.
Most barista roles require a high school diploma or equivalent, basic maths and communication skills, and the ability to work in a team. While formal training helps, many baristas learn on the job or through short courses.
Key barista skills include coffee knowledge, customer service, attention to detail, multitasking, and teamwork. Technical abilities like espresso extraction, milk frothing, and latte art are also essential for success behind the bar.
