Being a barista seems like a solid job. They basically serve coffee.
So they are basically at server at a coffee shop?  Do they do anything else?
They usually just serve espresso-based coffee drinks.
I see.  How long have baristas been around?  I am not too familiar with their line of work.
The word is of Italian descent, as it means bartender.
So baristas originated in Italy?  I guess that makes some sense.  Is anyone serves coffee considered a barista?
I think that just the word is Italian, not actually baristas.
