Re: Am I a Barista?
The word barista is of Italian origin, and in Italian, a barista is a male or female "bartender", who typically works behind a counter, serving both hot drinks (such as espresso), and cold alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, not a coffee-maker specifically.
How many real baristi are there? Are most of us like myself simply coffee makers
(off topic - I need a barista in Carnegie - Melbourne, where do we post job ads on coffeesnobs?)

that there are training institutions handing out "Prep. & Serve" on the basis of 4 hours of training. When I taught it at Angliss, it consisted of 2 days in the training room, significant on the job training in a cafe plus written and practical assessment.
