Today we had a barista lesson.
Barista in Italy is not only a coffee professional; he/she stands in a bar counter serving espresso and is even allowed to serve alcohol drinks, creating comfortable atmosphere for customers.
In the bars in Italy, speedy service is mandatory. And there are many bars everywhere in town.
Espresso is indispensable for the most of Italian people’s daily lives.
Today we had a barista who works at SCUDIERI, a very well known bar in Florence, teach us about good espresso, the latest trends in latte arts, and so on.

He lectured about what the color and aroma of good espresso should be like, and he also showed us how to draw latte arts. Some students started to look at espresso in a new light after this lesson.
