Barista: A calling
It takes one to know one: Our baristas serve a delicious coffee because they know and love coffee themselves. At Alto cafe, we carefully train each barista in the art of coffee with the best equipment on the market (La Marzocco, Mazzer and Mahlkonig grinders). Our baristas learn to make espressos with the right dosage, but they also to create designs with cappuccino foam (hearts, tulips, or rosettas...). This is truly (Latte) art!
Did you know?
The word barista comes from Italian meaning “bartender”. Originally, a barista was meant to serve both coffee and cocktails, but today a barista is to coffee what a sommelier is to wine: A true expert.
The 7 principles
of the Barist’Attitude:
Love
A barista is passionate about coffee and love to make customers happy.
Art
Making good coffee is an art in itself; a barista reveals their artistry in each cup served.
Craft
The pleasure you get from a cup of coffee comes from the barista’s craft but also from the friendliness the barista puts in every detail of the process.
Service
Being a barista is about coffee but also about serving a noble product to the discerning customer.
Creativity
Each retail location offers the barista the opportunity to reveal their creativity in every detail: from ambiance to latte art.
People Skills
Getting a cup of coffee only takes a few minutes of a customer’s time, but a barista welcomes each customer like they would in their own home.
Mobility
Mobility is Alto café’s asset: our baristas bring coffee to popup events and navigate from AltospOts to Altoevents! with the same energy and passion to provide the best service to their customers.
