When a friend told me that they had a new coffee maker I naturally assumed that it would be a shiny new coffee pot and the heater unit sits on the kitchen counter top. But there was no incident at all. My friend had been introduced to a new “Barista” with a new espresso coffee recipe made a great stir with the local office crowd.

My knowledge of the profession was sadly lacking but I was very impressed by the skill, knowledge of beans and roasts and skillful handling of a wide range of complex and subtle coffee drink recipes. In fact, the whole art of making coffee requires a range of skills, thorough knowledge of the product and months of practice and it was something that was very impressive.

The very word “barista” is actually Italian for bartender, but in English it has come to mean someone who prepares espresso based coffee drinks, but in North America in general, the term has been used for any one employee in a coffee house situation. I like the analogy of the word for wine expert who is “Sommelier” is a “Barista” must also be highly trained in all aspects of coffee, roasting, blending and the use of espresso equipment. God knows how many different types of coffee in the world or even more relevant, how many different mixes!

A coffee maker can be a highly educated “athlete” in the case of mixing exotic espresso drinks and there are competitive events around the world where a barista can show their skills, but it takes flair, training and much practice to be considered such characteristics. The Olympic world of coffee.

Monte Carlo was the site of the first World Barista Championship and the 2000 and it was very popular. Nearly a decade later, the World Cup is held in a different country each year and host the winners of the various national titles. Judges assess drink made from the person who did it. The score does not just taste but presentation and speed in preparation are against the clock with just fifteen minutes allowed for each barista performance.

Each player must use the espresso machine is provided, but many bring a whole grab-bag of exotic ingredients. Syrup, sprinkles, fruit, spices, ground and even roasts its own blended coffee. In fact, the need to prepare four signature drinks, four cappuccinos and four espresso while four judges test, taste and smell: all with foam art and graphics, to complete the presentation. Fifteen minutes can mean a lot!

The winners have made coffee drinks with cane sugar, pepper gel, lavender, white pepper, sage infused leaf, honey and dark chocolate squares. 2004 world champion from Canada named Sammy Piccolo, commodities as sugar, egg yolk, curry powder, bittersweet chocolate and milk with their specially blended coffee roast and called his winning creation “Insieme”.

These competitions require dedication and hard training, like all athletes are working towards a World Cup and this gives a whole new perspective on the term “Maker”, so when you’re considering your next cup of espresso, think about some new recipes and some new flavors and Perhaps you could be our next representative.
