The Food Chain - Baristas: The daily grind
Download Baristas: The daily grind
What is the person making your coffee secretly thinking about you? Which orders make their heart sink?
Emily Thomas is joined by three top baristas in Dublin, Brazil and India. They explain how making coffee was once seen as a low-wage, unskilled job in much of the world, but these days, it holds a certain cache. But what's driving the meteoric rise of the barista - and who ultimately is benefitting? Most still earn a very low wage - like many of the farmers producing the coffee - whilst big chains thrive.
