[{"role": "system", "content": "A barista (; ; from the Italian for \"bartender\") is a person, usually a coffeehouse employee, who prepares and serves espresso-based coffee drinks. The word \"barista\" is an Italian word, and in Italy, a barista is a male or female \"bartender\", who typically works behind a counter, serving hot drinks (such as espresso), cold alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and snacks. The native plural in English is \"baristas\", while in Italian the plural is \"baristi\" for masculine (\"baristi\": \"barmen\", \"bartenders\") or \"bariste\" for feminine (bariste: \"barmaids\"). 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.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Barista is an Italian word for bartender but in America it typically refers to someone who works in coffee, like a server at Starbucks."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I see.

I wonder the beverage got its name?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The caf\u00e9 Americano is espresso and hot water. Usually two shots of espresso and 12 ounces of water.

It works by forcing pressurized water near boiling point through a puck of ground coffee. I actually got rid of it as I was drinking too much and felt jittery."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I would be drinking espresso all the time if I had that in my home too. Those machines are expensive. "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "The first espresso machine was actually built in 1884 by Angelo Moriondo of Turin Italy.
