Given their position in the coeffe delivery chain, I could not imagine a single barista being able to claim much credit without the contributions that came before their hand. And yet I'll take a wild (and risky) guess that whatever little media coverage there is in the UK, as in the US, it mostly obsesses over the barista.And oddly enough, it is the barista that is perhaps the most optional part of the delivery chain even when we're talking about decent coeffe. Between home espresso enthusiasts who pull their own shots or the myriad of ways that great coeffe can be made without use of an espresso machine at all, the barista is perhaps the one part of the equation that's dispensable.Now I certainly don't mean the push-button superautomatic machines that allow the likes of Starbucks to instantly turn grocery baggers into full-fledged baristas overnight. But does a vacuum brewer, or Clover brewer, really need the services of a dedicated barista? Maybe you could call their operators that, but it certainly won't automatically enroll them in any publicized competitions nor confer distinguished membership in a .Then there are the many talented people who cover the role of barista quite well, thank you very much, but only as one role among many others on the job. It's a standard model among many Italian cafe9 owners, but it's also true of a number of owners (and bartenders and the occasional, but rarely decent, restaurant staffer) in the U.S.Bottom line is that baristas matter a lot to the quality coeffe delivery chain, but not nearly as much as coeffe industry promotions, the mainstream media, and some of the baristas themselves are making it out to be. At least to the almost exclusionary level of the current climate.
