A barista (/bəˈriːstə, -ˈrɪstə/; Italian: [baˈrista]; from the Italian/Spanish for "bartender") is a person, usually a coffeehouse employee, who prepares and serves espresso-based coffee drinks.
Etymology and inflection
Izi nyandiko z’amateka ngo zajya zishingirwaho mu kwigisha uko Jenoside yateguwe ndetse bikorohereza umuntu wakwifuza kubisobanukirwa.
Ati “Bikwiye gushyirwamo ingufu cyane cyane mu kubyigisha mu mashuri, bagasobanurira abato uko Jenoside yateguwe aho urwo rwango rwavuye ndetse abana bakazamenya n’amateka y’intwari zacu zayihagaritse.”
Senderi abibonamo umumaro ukomeye ku gihugu amateka ya Jenoside nashyirwa mu buryo bw’inyandiko zinagaragaza ingaruka zishaririye ubu bwicanyi ndengakamere bwasigiye u Rwanda.

Ati “Jenoside iba njye narayiboneye n’amaso, icyo gihe nari mfite imyaka 16, nari nkirangiza amashuri abanza. Nabonaga Isi yarangiye kuko nk’aho nari ntuye iwacu i Nyarubuye nabonaga ari imperuka, abantu barishwe biteye ubwoba.”

Ati “ Icyo gihe ariko hari ikintu cyanteye urujijo, nabonaga abasore baturutse za Kigali, i Butare na Rwamagana bakarara nk’iwacu ejo nkababura. Nabazaga mu rugo uko byagenze bakansobanurira ko bagiye mu Nkotanyi, byageze igihe nanjye njya muri izo Nkotanyi ngo duhangane n’abasirikare ba Habyarimana bitorezaga mu Kagera, kandi nibo bakoraga urugomo iwacu.”
Application of the title
While the title is not regulated, most coffee shops use the title to describe the preparer of coffee and operator of an espresso machine.
Baristas generally operate a commercial espresso machine, and their role is preparing and pulling the shot; the degree to which this is automated or done manually varies significantly, ranging from push-button operation to an involved manual process. Espresso is a notoriously finicky beverage, and good manual espresso making is considered a skilled task. Further, preparation of other beverages, particularly milk-based drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes, but also non-espresso coffee such as drip or press pot, requires additional work and skill for effective frothing, pouring and most often latte art. In Starbucks, over the counter employees are referred to as "baristas", although the preparation process is fully automated.
The barista usually has been trained to operate the machine and to prepare the coffee based on the guidelines of the roaster or shop owner, while more experienced baristas may have discretion to vary preparation or experiment. To make the coffee well, there is a series of steps needing attention, including grinding the beans, extracting the coffee, frothing the milk and pouring.
Beyond the preparation of espresso and other beverages and general customer service, skilled baristas acquire knowledge of the entire process of coffee to effectively prepare a desired cup of coffee, including maintenance and programming of the machine, grinding methods, roasting, and coffee plant cultivation, similar to how a sommelier is familiar with the entire process of wine making and consumption. A barista can acquire these skills by attending training classes, but they are more commonly learned on the job.
Competition
Formal barista competitions originated in Norway, and one such is the World Barista Championships, held annually at varied international locations. Baristas worldwide compete, though they must first compete in a competition held in their own country to qualify to enter in the WBC.
