Is it possible to inflect the word barista, how to write cappuccino correctly and where should the emphasis be placed in the word latte?

Who are baristas?

If you want real coffee with a perfectly balanced taste and aroma, then you should contact a barista. This specialist will select a blend in accordance with your preferences, tell you about the origin of the grain, and is also able to prepare a lot of incredibly tasty espresso-based drinks.

No self-respecting coffee establishment can do without a coffee maker. The barista profession is young, but already in demand and rapidly developing. Every year the demands on coffee brewing specialists become greater.

Is the word "barista" inflected?

The word barista is of Italian origin, possibly borrowed into Russian through English. Literally translated as “a person working behind a bar.”

“Barista” is a noun, masculine, animate. It does not decline in cases and numbers, the form of the word does not change even in the plural. The stress falls on the second syllable.

The word often causes controversy regarding declension by case. For now, the generally accepted version remains the inflexible form. Perhaps over time the rule will change.

Convince the barista!

Is the word bowed - barista?
This is a more complicated question than “how to write a cappuccino?” or “how to pronounce latte or latte?” The author of the text you will read below is Denis Petrov. I have long wanted to raise this topic, and now, while collecting material, I came across an article that fully covers the topic, but is not written in a provocative manner (like Artemy Lebedev). I often write a lot on coffee topics, and inevitably in these texts I have to mention people who brew coffee - baristas. I have inclined this word, I am inclined and will continue to incline, because of this I sometimes find myself drawn into battles. Sometimes I explain my point of view, sometimes I remain silent and write in my own way. I was lucky enough to ask Doctor of Philology, professor and very interesting lecturer Maxim Krongauz about this. Now I decided it was time to write this note and close the question.

The word "barista" is an Italian generic (that is, neither masculine nor feminine) noun. Modern Italian-Russian dictionaries suggest translating it as “bartender” or “barmaid”. The result of the translation can hardly be considered as a Russian word, because it is borrowed from the English language. The “bartender” easily and willingly bows down - “tell the bartender,” “ask the bartender.”

From Italian "barista" migrated to English, where it is still a countable noun of the general gender. Here is an excerpt from the dictionary of the authoritative publishing house Macmillan:

barista /bərˈistə/ noun [C] a person who works in a coffee bar

In English, nouns are not inflected. In principle, they are not inclined. The countability of baristas indicates the existence of a plural form and a completely legitimate changeability of this noun - one barista, many baristas.

Not very literate baristas in everyday speech copy the English word, give it a flair of romanticism and a touch of hipness, elevate it to the rank of iconic and are afraid to incline it so as not to bring trouble upon themselves. In our Russian language, there is no rule according to which nouns of the general gender are not declined. There are such exceptions in the masculine gender, but not in general.

Analogies are strong in language. The most similar word form of “profession” is “elder”. Also a noun, also of a general gender, because the headman can also be a young lady. It wouldn’t occur to you not to persuade the headman, would it? “Go and ask the headman for advice” - sounds strange, right? So it’s exactly the same with a barista. No one blushes when inclining an “accountant”, not a single “hairdresser” will get into a fight if he hears you inclining him or her (well, unless it’s a top stylist, of course).

There is only one conclusion from what has been said and it is very simple - there is no reason not to persuade the “barista”. It is surprising that professionals in the coffee industry, who should first of all fight for the rooting of the word, instead of achieving rapid adoption, strive for rejection. Let's speak Russian correctly, let's persuade the baristas! Professionals, join in and better not argue, otherwise I’ll find a dictionary of synonyms and start calling them “Chaldeans”!

What do you think? Is it possible to persuade a barista?

History of the profession

The first specialists in brewing coffee using coffee machines appeared in Italy. In the 1980s, the idea was picked up by Howard Schultz, owner of the Starbucks coffee chain. This is how baristas appeared in the USA. At the same time, the term initially referred to bartenders and only in the 80s of the twentieth century received a modern interpretation.

Coffee makers appeared in Russia recently. This is due to the development of the Starbucks coffee chain in the country. At the moment, any self-respecting coffee shop owner has a real professional on his staff.

Prospects for the profession

People are gradually getting used to spending their leisure time outside the home, having breakfast and meeting friends in public catering chains, so the need for professional baristas will only grow over time. Preference will be given to masters who have managed to develop an individual style and master impeccable basic coffee-making techniques combined with a special, unique flavor.

If you still have the slightest doubt that the barista profession is right for you, then we strongly recommend taking a career guidance test from Profgid . It costs mere pennies, and at the same time allows you to avoid mistakes that can go in the wrong direction and cripple your entire life. Find out more >>

Features of a barista's work

Not everyone is suitable for the position of coffee maker, although everyone has the opportunity to obtain this profession. The fact is that a good barista must not only have a good understanding of coffee, its varieties, production, but also know 40 basic recipes for the drink. A coffee brewer must also have excellent taste and be able to distinguish the slightest shades of aroma. He will also have to create his own recipes.

The profession requires a person to give up bad habits, as well as comply with certain restrictions. Invalid:

• alcohol;
• smoking, including hookah;
• perfumery;
• gels, shampoos, deodorants with strong odors;
• excess of sweet, salty foods, abuse of herbs and spices.

These restrictions are explained by the fact that the coffee maker must subtly sense even the slightest shade of taste and aroma of coffee.

Main responsibilities

A barista works behind the bar. Primary responsibilities include brewing coffee. First of all, espresso. At the same time, dozens of different types of grains and their combinations can be used as raw materials. The client can choose the variety himself or ask the coffee maker to help him so that the drink turns out to suit his taste and wishes.

The barista should:

• know all the varieties of coffee, where they grow, the difference between varieties;
• understand the degree of roasting of beans;
• easily distinguish Arabica from Robusta;
• make aromatic blends;
• be able to cook from 40 varieties of drink;
• own basic equipment and accessories;
• grind;
• select the correct pressure and temperature of the liquid;
• whisk the milk masterfully.

The coffee maker's responsibilities also include taking inventory. It is required not only to check the availability of all equipment, but also to measure the remaining coffee and auxiliary ingredients. For example, measure the remaining liqueur or sugar syrup in centimeters, weigh bulk additives. Otherwise, raw materials may run out at the wrong time.

A person’s personal qualities are important – communication skills, patience, kindness, responsibility.

The importance of knowledge, skills, abilities

The more a barista knows and can do, the more earnings he can expect. For this reason, you need to choose the right teacher, take advanced training courses if possible, follow new products and developments, and participate in competitions and championships.

Drawing on coffee is popular. At a primitive level, it is enough to create beautiful pictures using stencils and cocoa or cinnamon. Special printers have even been invented that can recreate a client’s portrait in a cup of drink. But real professionals are fluent in latte art - they know how to draw coffee and milk on their own.

It is important to add syrups correctly. True coffee lovers rarely ask for something like this to be added to their drink, and coffee lovers often want to try something new. It is necessary to select suitable flavors for the selected type of grain.

In addition to coffee, the barista prepares tea. And this is additional information about all its varieties, recipes for preparing all kinds of variations.

In America, it is considered normal for the coffee maker to additionally prepare a sandwich. This is also in demand in Russia. It is also important to know how to use a cash register, because not every barista has assistants.

What is the difference between a barista and a bartender?

Initially, both words meant the same thing - the person behind the bar. Later their responsibilities were divided. The bartender became responsible for alcoholic drinks and cocktails, and the barista for coffee. At the same time, in America, for example, if the question arises - who will prepare a sandwich for a client - the coffee maker will do it.

Differences between a bartender and a barista

What does a barista use when working?

The qualifications of a specialist largely depend on what tools he knows how to use. The responsibilities of a barista include grinding beans, brewing coffee, frothing milk, and decorating the finished drink. Each action requires special mechanisms, equipment, and accessories.

In addition to the basic equipment, a professional coffee maker must have scales, a thermometer, towels, rags, a shaker, a timer, and a knock box.

Coffee machine

Modern coffee machines can fully automate the process. Starting from grinding grains to serving whipped and heated milk. Nevertheless, real professionals more often choose levered (classic manual) varieties. The coffee maker manually controls the spillage, as a result, from the same raw materials he can prepare drinks with different taste, intensity, and aroma. It’s rare to see such a miracle in a modern coffee shop, and they cost about 400 thousand rubles.

The flow can be adjusted in a semi-automatic coffee machine. Only there is no lever (lever), the barista uses a button. This technique is considered a classic for an Italian coffee shop. It is used, like the previous option, in places that are not very accessible, since it requires the attention of the employee. Price 120-850 thousand rubles.

In places where there is high customer traffic and novice baristas work, automatic coffee machines are suitable. The boss sets up the device every day, and employees calmly brew coffee on it during their shift. The price depends on the manufacturer - 140-770 thousand rubles.

There are also superautomatic coffee machines. The barista simply needs to pour in the grain and milk, then the device itself will prepare the coffee depending on the program. The preparation of the drink is primitive, a coffee maker is not required, and visitors understand that in this establishment coffee is a related product, not the main one. The cost of equipment is 480-700 thousand rubles.

Coffee grinder

Professionals rarely use a regular kitchen coffee grinder. But sometimes this device can be found in inexpensive coffee shops. For this reason, the barista must be able to use the grinder so that the grind is uniform and the right size.

Grinder

This is a professional coffee grinder. It can be manual or automatic. A professional will need a grinder with the ability to adjust the grind size and uniformity of the mixture.

Holder

This is a portafilter, part of a coffee maker. Ground coffee is poured into it and pressed with tempera. Can be intended for preparing 1, 2 or 3 servings of drink.

Temper

Used for pressing coffee in a holder. It comes in different diameters, as well as handle shapes and sizes. The base is flat or convex. The specific type of tempera is selected to match the existing holder.

Pitcher

Stainless steel jug designed for frothing milk. When working as a barista, you may need pitchers of different volumes - 0.15, 0.35, 0.6, 1 l and others.

Jigger

Stainless steel measuring cups. Designed for preparing and measuring espresso used for lattes and other milk variations of coffee.

Demitas

Cup capacity 80 or 150-220 ml for espresso and cappuccino. Most often white.

Who is a barista and what does he do?

Many people don’t know the name of the person who makes coffee. The profession of a barista is primarily a hobby, and not the main way of earning money. A person with invaluable experience and accumulated knowledge in working with coffee drinks can take a leading position among other personnel in establishments where coffee is served.

This job involves constantly communicating with people. Anyone, regardless of gender and age, can master it. In terms of their responsibilities, a barista is practically no different from a bartender, with the exception that they are engaged in the preparation of different drinks.

In some organizations, the girl barista is engaged not only in preparing coffee, but also in paying customers, which is explained by the lack of specialists.

How to become a barista?

There are several ways to get a profession. The most common one is to learn everything on the job, becoming an apprentice chef barista. The remaining options are more suitable for foreign countries; in Russia, such an opportunity is available in large cities.

At work

In many coffee shops, owners prefer to train coffee makers themselves. In this case, the new employee will comply and will not have to waste time and effort on retraining. Training with renowned chef baristas is also valuable. Having learned from such a person, you can easily find a job by referring to his name.

The training is free and often lasts a week. A day can range from a few hours to a full 12 hour shift. Certificates are not issued, but they are not particularly needed. In this profession, the main thing is skills and knowledge, not a piece of paper with a stamp.

Special courses

In a number of Russian cities, special courses are organized to teach the profession of a barista. They don’t help with job placement, but they do issue paper confirmation of completion of training. Course duration – from 1 day.

You can also study online. After payment, a person receives a link to his personal account, goes through lessons sequentially, and completes homework. The organizers provide feedback, pointing out errors and shortcomings.

You can choose different programs:

• Basic;
• Professional barista;
• Expert;
• Chef barista.

Academic programs

For those who decide to learn the profession thoroughly, there are also more advanced versions of training. Some require knowledge of the basics of bartending.

Some examples of accredited educational institutions:

• Russian branch of SCAE, St. Petersburg;
• St. Petersburg Bartenders Association;
• Northwestern Coffee Company, St. Petersburg;
• Institute of Coffee and Tea, St. Petersburg;
• Academy of Coffee Art, St. Petersburg;
• St. Petersburg College of Economics and Technology;
• Siberian Hospitality Association, Krasnoyarsk.

It's no secret that in the coffee world, questions of philology constantly excite the minds and worry the masses - 'how to write cappuccino?', 'latte or latte?', 'espresso or expresso?'

Column by Denis Petrov: It is no secret that in the coffee world, questions of philology constantly excite the minds and worry the masses - 'how to write cappuccino?', 'latte or latte?', 'espresso or expresso?'. Today, one of the philological and coffee issues was put to rest, at least for me.

We are talking about the inclination of the 'barista'. I often write a lot on coffee topics, and inevitably in these texts I have to mention people who brew coffee - baristas. I have inclined this word, I am inclined and will continue to incline, because of this I sometimes find myself drawn into battles. Sometimes I explain my point of view, sometimes I remain silent and write in my own way. Today I was lucky enough to ask Doctor of Philology, professor and very interesting lecturer Maxim Krongauz about this. Now I decided it was time to write a blog and close the issue.

The word 'barista' is an Italian generic (that is, neither masculine nor feminine) noun. Modern Italian-Russian dictionaries suggest translating it as 'bartender' or 'barmaid'. The result of the translation can hardly be considered as a Russian word, because it is borrowed from the English language. The 'bartender' bows easily and willingly - 'tell the bartender', 'ask the bartender'.

From Italian 'barista' migrated to English, where it is still a generic countable noun. Here is an excerpt from the dictionary of the authoritative publishing house Macmillan:

barista /bərˈistə/ noun [C] a person who works in a coffee bar

In English, nouns are not inflected. In principle, they are not inclined. The countability of baristas indicates the existence of a plural form and a completely legitimate changeability of this noun - one barista, many baristas.

Not very literate baristas in everyday speech copy the English word, give it a flair of romanticism and a touch of hipness, elevate it to the rank of iconic and are afraid to incline it so as not to bring trouble upon themselves. In our Russian language, there is no rule according to which nouns of the general gender are not declined. There are such exceptions in the masculine gender, but not in general.

Analogies are strong in language. The most similar “profession” in terms of word form is “elder”. Also a noun, also of a general gender, because the headman can also be a young lady. It wouldn’t occur to you not to persuade the headman, would it? 'Go and ask the headman for advice' - sounds strange, right? So it’s exactly the same with a barista. No one blushes when inclining an “accountant”, not a single “hairdresser” will get involved in a fight if he hears you inclining him or her (well, unless it’s a top stylist, of course).

There is only one conclusion from what has been said, and it is very simple - there is no reason not to persuade the “barista”. It is surprising that professionals in the coffee industry, who should first of all fight for the rooting of the word, instead of achieving rapid adoption, strive for rejection. Let's speak Russian correctly, let's persuade the baristas! Professionals, join in and better not argue, otherwise I’ll find a dictionary of synonyms and start calling them “Chaldeans”!

What prospects do baristas have?

At first, coffee makers improve their skills, knowledge and abilities, gain experience in order to earn more. You can rise to the position of chef barista, as well as participate in various competitions and competitions.

But this is the only opportunity to grow as a barista. Then some move on to other positions, others, having gained experience, open their own coffee shops, and still others change their field of activity.

In Russia, a profession is considered a temporary part-time job while studying at the institute, for example. In the West, on the contrary, baristas become baristas after 30 years of age, when they realize that they like this business.

Story

The barista profession is very young, she is not yet 30 years old. It is clear that someone brewed coffee in coffee shops before the 1980s, but it never occurred to anyone to single out this work as a separate type of career or even creativity, to learn the skill in special institutions. Usually the owner of the establishment or more experienced colleagues showed the newcomer how to operate the coffee machine, and that was where the education ended.

Today, baristas are respected people, they give interviews to reputable publications, participate in international competitions and, of course, some of them earn good money.

For this flourishing, we must thank large coffee chains like Starbucks - they turned the person behind the counter into an additional factor attracting customers. On the other hand, the requirements have also increased: a good barista must understand types of coffee, have a delicate sense of smell and taste, know everything or almost everything about the history of the drink and be able to prepare at least a dozen coffee cocktails.

Judging solely by Russian chain coffee shops, one might get the impression that barista is a predominantly male profession. In fact, inexorable statistics say the opposite: more than two thirds of all baristas in the world (68%) are girls, respectively, the stronger sex accounts for only 32%.

The average length of service in this position rarely exceeds 4 years; no more than 10% of baristas continue to develop their careers after 5 years or more.

Barista competition

The main annual competition for baristas is held by the non-profit organization Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). In this case, competitions can take place in Europe or for America.

The SCA community includes thousands of professionals and companies from all over the world. The Russian branch of this organization regularly holds championships, trainings, camps, as well as certification and educational programs. Only the best are sent to international competitions to represent the country.

To participate in the championship, the barista must prepare thoroughly. It is important that the senses work perfectly, and that a new recipe for a delicious drink is prepared.

Coffee brewers (one per country) can take part in competitions held jointly with the WBC:

• Captesting;
• Coffee-Alcohol;
• Ibrik – Turkish coffee;
• Latte art.

Participants are assessed on their ability to follow the technology and the organoleptic quality of the finished drink. At the same time, you need to prepare not just 1 variety, but 3. Taking into account the number of jury members, you get 12 servings - 4 espresso, 4 cappuccino, 4 author’s versions without alcohol and dessert varieties. The time for this is only 15 minutes.

How much can a barista earn?

A coffee maker can earn on average from 1,000 to 2,000 rubles per shift. Payment depends on the city and place of work, skills and tips. You can earn the most money at outdoor events, for example, on City Day, your salary can be 5,000-7,000 rubles.

In the US, one shift can bring a coffee maker $8-13. Argentine baristas earn an average of $480 per month, French baristas, like in America, Romanian baristas, no more than $420.

Barista salary

On the market, a barista vacancy is estimated at 35-65 thousand rubles per month in Moscow. In the regions - from 20 thousand rubles. But employers are willing to pay more to a specialist with a name who has gained popularity and is able to attract clients.

Tips are often added to the salary amount, but their amount largely depends on the place of work. Even if we compare the wages of Western baristas, the average tip size will greatly depend on the country and even the city. A study of barista pay around the world showed that Australian baristas earn the most (more than $44/hour), while English baristas earn relatively little, even taking into account tips.

Pros and cons of work

Advantages:

• simple training;
• demand in the labor market;
• often flexible schedule;
• the opportunity to combine work and study;
• work in your favorite industry;
• New acquaintances.

Flaws:

• not the highest salaries;
• 12 hour shift;
• sometimes long working hours, work on holidays and weekends;
• work with people;
• some restrictions, for example, on alcohol and smoking;
• the need to always look great and be friendly.

Is it possible to inflect the word “barista” in Russian?

Try it, experiment. Barista, for barista, to barista, etc. vs. barista, for barista, to barista. Which option is less annoying to you and your friends and is more convenient to use? In the end, the Russian language belongs to you to the same extent as to the compilers of dictionaries, you are free to use it as you wish, as long as it facilitates communication. You can even try calling this special person a coffee maker, a coffee maker. It sounds funny, but what the hell isn't it? Time will judge which of the options will be generally used and which will be marginal.

On my own behalf, I will add that this word, which came from Italian and ends in -a, in its initial form looks like a noun of the first declension (cf. barista and dad / mom), and in Russian, which tends towards synthesis (connection and relationships between subjects of speech are expressed through changes in word forms), tends to be very organic, and looks as if it has entered our language for a couple of centuries already (barista - to barista, dentist - to dentist). But in the unconvinced version, everything is clear with him, it came several years ago, and *a very subjective opinion* is distorted by its foreignness and lack of assimilation.

Who is a barista and what is their job?

If you not only love to drink coffee, but you also like to prepare it, and you want to make this process not a hobby, but a profession, then you should become a barista. Since this type of occupation appeared not so long ago, familiarity with the features and nuances of the profession will certainly not be superfluous.

In today's article you will learn who a barista is and what his job responsibilities are.

Who is this barista?

The word “barista” comes to us from the Italian language and literally means nothing more than the person behind the bar counter. However, quite quickly this specific term acquired another meaning - a person who specializes in making coffee. Please note that the word barista belongs to the category of indeclinable lexical units. It is noteworthy that it is not yet in any spelling dictionary of the Russian language.

This is interesting: the first baristas (of course, in Italy) were more bartenders who knew how to not only pour alcohol and mix cocktails, but also prepare natural coffee. But already in the 80s of the last century, there was a need in this industry for specialists who could operate an espresso machine. But that’s not all: the rapidly developing industry (especially after coffee machines appeared) required people who could understand the types of coffee and prepare drinks according to a large number of coffee-based recipes. At the same time, they needed to maintain a trusting relationship with the client, and not be deprived of politeness and a sense of tact.

By the way, interest in the barista profession has increased quite seriously after the owner of the Starbucks chain introduced the working style of Italian baristas in his establishments. Today, the profession of a barista involves the preparation and process of decorating drinks made on the basis of standard espresso.

How it happens in Russia

In our country, not only boys, but also girls are engaged in this type of occupation. As a rule, their age ranges from 20-30 years. Recently, an increasing number of representatives of the fair sex have chosen the profession of barista.

The responsibilities of a barista include solving only coffee issues.

How is it in Europe

In European countries, the barista track is chosen mainly by the stronger sex. It is noteworthy that the average age of men varies from 30 to 40 years.

Unlike our country, European baristas choose their profession consciously. Our specialists in preparing and decorating coffee, as a rule, engage in this activity to earn extra money during the holidays.

In European countries, sometimes a person’s responsibilities include not only the process of brewing coffee, but also performing the functions of a bartender and support staff. By the way, it happens that the barista is none other than the owner of the coffee shop.

Now let's move directly to the responsibilities of a barista.

Don't let the first impression be deceiving. Although the process is quite simple from the outside, the barista must be able to do a lot. The responsibilities of a professional include:

• Ability to understand existing varieties of coffee, as well as its blends. It is also important to know the key characteristics of the beans that are used in the establishment where the specialist works. It is necessary to be well acquainted with the taste characteristics of various types of raw materials.
• Ability to prepare popular varieties of coffee. Sometimes you can come across information that a professional barista must know about 40 recipes for preparing each type of coffee bean. However, most often it is enough for a barista to be able to prepare the most popular drinks, the preparation of which is based on classic, traditional recipes.
• Good understanding of technological features. For example, know how much and what needs to be added to a particular drink.
• Be able to operate an espresso machine and know the features of its operating mechanisms. Also, the barista must be able to adjust the machine designed for making coffee, depending on the grind of the coffee, air humidity and even the time of day. By the way, today it is not necessary for a barista to know how to handle a cezve (Turkish glass). However, such an ability will definitely not be superfluous in your work.
• Also, a professional barista must master a special technique for decorating the surface of coffee drinks, which is called latte art.

This is important: a true master of his craft (or as he is called a probarista) must not only know many preparation recipes, but also be familiar with all the intricacies of brewing a drink from coffee of different grinds and even origins.

There are some requirements not only for the professional, but also for the personal qualities of a barista. These include:

• friendliness and ability to maintain a conversation with the client;
• communication skills and positivity;
• good artistic taste and understanding of aesthetics;
• responsibility at work;
• desire and desire to constantly develop yourself.

Where can you train to be a barista?

In Russia there are several ways to get this profession. We invite you to familiarize yourself with them.

1. On-the-job training. Large coffee shops often hire those who want to learn all the features and intricacies of the profession. Typically training lasts from one day to a week. Then you will need to participate in special trainings that will allow you to improve your professional level.
2. Vocational training courses. They operate at training centers. For example, in the Russian branch of the European Association SCAE. It must be said that large trading companies can also boast of having departments for training future baristas. You can also learn the intricacies of a multifaceted profession at the “Independent Barista School” that recently opened in Moscow. Usually courses are short-term and last for 2 weeks.
3. Academic programs also need to be highlighted. Some accredited educational institutions have them. As a rule, training lasts slightly longer - from two months to six months.

Barista earnings

His salary consists of several components - tips, salary and bonus. If we talk about the average salary, it is about 30 thousand rubles. In Moscow, a barista’s earnings are higher and range from 50-60 thousand rubles.

This is important: barista pay may vary depending on the season. In the summer, people often run into a coffee shop to drink a fragrant, invigorating drink. Therefore, during this period, barista tips increase, and, accordingly, income increases.

Qualifications and prospects

If a specialist has significant knowledge and extensive work experience, then he may well apply for the position of coffee chef or coffee master. This is the name of a person who is completely involved in everything related to coffee - from choosing suppliers, to tasting the products purchased by the establishment and training baristas.

It is also worth noting some of the prospects that open up for a successful barista:

• receiving a grant for an international internship;
• work as a trainer for other aspiring professionals;
• become an institution administrator;
• open your own coffee shop (of course, this requires financial investments);
• become a member of the international barista association. This allows a person to become a judge at professional championships.

Barista Championships: what is it?

The professional skills and abilities of a person whose life and work are closely connected with the preparation of coffee drinks are confirmed by his participation in annual championships. The most famous and popular is the WorldBarista Championship. It is noteworthy that about 350-400 Russians take part in the qualifying rounds every year. The person who emerges victorious from the round goes to the final round. It is known that Russia was recently represented at an international competition by a barista working in a famous Moscow coffee shop.

Today, the profession of barista is becoming more and more popular. And it must be said that there is every reason for this. After all, a person has the opportunity to actively develop in his chosen “field” of activity. In addition, do not forget that a highly qualified specialist earns good money.
