Who is Barista?
This was a question at the WBC 07 in Tokyo to so many of  spectators and us baristi, what they think and feel and what Barista means to us all.
 
One Japanese man said: 'Barista is the one who brings smile!'
 
Indeed, thats what barista is! A professional coffee maker who love and live coffee, who understands coffee and costumers needs, the last chain in coffee industry who brings a smile everyday to the people around the world.
 
Barista, thats me, Nik! ...so have a big smile now while reading this!
 
Many thanks to barista friends all over the world, special thanks to mr. Willy Hansen, my sensei and my guide in the world of coffee and life in general.
Thanks to humble soul of mr. Tim Wendelboe who without knowing, learned me how to become a better barista and person, to Illycaffe people in Trieste for finding my passion (I had to leave latter, i hope you understand) I owe you so much.
Thanks to Jay and John, James and Gobin for teaching and sharing all the time, to Matt and all at barista exchange community!
