Barista is a 2015 American documentary film directed by Rock Baijnauth. The film follows five baristas, as they prepare for the 2013 United States Barista Championship.[2] It is the first in a series.[3] Viewers are introduced into the elevation of the everyday drink, into a craft culture not unlike that of beer and wine.[4] The film was acquired for distribution by Samuel Goldwyn Films.[5]
The film follows four baristas preparing for the 2013 United States Barista Championship. Eden-Marie Abramowicz, Charlie Habegger, Truman Severson and Ryan Redden obsess over every detail when it comes to extracting the perfect cup of coffee.[6] As the film progresses, the makers add a fifth personality, Los Angeles-based Charles Babinski, who decides to compete.
Babinski, who has endorsement deals with a major coffee brand, becomes the dominant personality. His cockiness provides a stark contrast to the humble obsessiveness of the other four personalities.[7]
