Why a barista stays essential in the age of AI
- The grind drifts with humidity and the beans change every week, so the espresso is dialled in by taste, every morning.
- A regular comes back for the person who remembers their order and their bad week.
- At 8 a.m. with a queue to the door, the rhythm is in the hands.
