Driving past our local Morrisons petrol station today I noticed a large poster announcing Costa coffee was available in the kiosk, also mentioning the same beans as in Costa stores.
My question is, what is the point of a barista if a machine can take the same ingredients and dish up a drink up with your daily paper and de-icer?
I always thought a barista was an Italian lawyer. Seems a bit precious to describe someone who pulls a few levers on a machine and gives you a cup of coffee.
