BBC - h2g2 - A Guide to the Menu at Starbucks (#)
„These people behind the counter are really quite hyper; just as you would expect from someone who spends eight hours a day drinking coffee. Some of these baristas may also exhibit a superiority complex. Don't take any notice, though, as most of them are finishing up a masters degree in art history (or something) and very well may be as superior as they think.Understanding the Starbucks menu may take a little work, but if you'll stick with it for a moment, this entry will give you a brief explanation of each of the drinks that you are likely to find in the average Starbucks. First, one thing that you need to know is that there is a bit of an existential crisis regarding the naming of coffee drinks in a Starbucks: menu items in a Starbucks are often named something completely different somewhere else.“

„I never teach milk to a new trainee, and all my baristas work in teams. A new barista works the shot making side of the machine, while the other steams milk and runs the cash register and supervises the newcomer's coffee for a few weeks. When I see that they are getting a feel for the coffee we go into milk, details of the cuisine, etc.. It usually takes about 4 weeks for a barista to be allowed to solo on a bar while their partner takes a break or does dishes.“

Tea & Coffee 12/04 - Editor's Letter
„Baristas - More and more contests are going on around the world, and are growing in size and attendance. Latte Art competitions, Coffee Pouring Contests, and Barista tournaments in the U.S., Europe, Asia have each proven to be a hit with baristas and draw large, enthusiastic audiences. But is the barista’s livelihood in jeopardy as semi-automatics and automatics become more popular? Starbucks, which herald the baristas’ charms and talents have begun replacing them with automatic espresso machines.“
