I work as a barista and make espresso based drinks at the coffee shop
That sounds pretty interesting! I've always wondered how hard it is to be a barista and how many things you have to know, since there are so many drinks. What's the job like?
I know how to operate the commercial espresso machine lol and prepare the shot, its a complicated process
How many different drink recipes do you have to know how to do?
More than I can count, and espresso is a finicky beverage so making it is a skilled art
That's pretty neat. What else can you tell me about your job that takes expert or technical knowledge?
Preparation of milk based drinks like lattes and cappuchinos takes a lot of practice and skill
Ah, that would make sense. What would you say is the most popular drink you make?
Espresso is most popular but the drip and press pots require skill and practice as well
That's pretty neat! What kind of drink would you offer to a beginner like me who's not really into coffee?
