## Resource

At this point, making coffee at home has turned into more than a caffeine hit. Home baristas have high end equipment, physics books on extraction, and the time and patience to perfect their morning cups. That is not the same as brewing coffee behind bar and there's a huge difference between the two. In this episode, we talk about why home baristas are pushing the coffee industry forward and why being a barista requires more skills than just making coffee.
