Barista is a 2015 American documentary film directed by Rock Baijnauth.

[3] Viewers are introduced into the elevation of the everyday drink, into a craft culture not unlike that of beer and wine.

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.
