baristas
Latte art creators
Baristas are people who prepare and serve coffee drinks, especially espresso-based beverages like lattes and cappuccinos.
The term comes from Italian, where it simply means bartender, but in English it specifically denotes coffee specialists.
The baristas at my local café know my order by heart.
