BARISTA VS BARTENDER

Monday, 26 November 2018.

I got a battery’s issue on my iphone again. Demm. It’s a charger cable problem that needed to be replaced with a new one.

One Justgrab story.

5.14pm, after Asar, NOH a Malay young man at VCR Jalan Galloway Bukit Bintang going to Desa Gembira Condom. We talked and talked all the way. He’s working in a kopitiam in Kuantan. He came to KL with his boss today to have a meeting with a competition committee on Barista Contest 2019. He said he likes his job and has been working there for 2 years already.

Then we talked a bit of current politic issues, such as ICERDS and also his unfinished diploma study.

Now I know the differences between Barista and Bartender.

From Quora:
The barista is an expert in coffee. Preparation methods (expresso, chemex, french press, aeropress, you name it), coffee bean info (country of origin, taste, roast type, etc…) and other data regarding how to properly serve a cup of coffee in any given manner. On a broader meaning, an expert in beverages without alcohol (some may even guide you with tea and other kind of infusions).

On the other hand, the bartender is the one in charge of serving cocktails, wine, beer, and everything else under the term “alcohol”.
