ninja barista

An espresso machine operator with not only exceptional skill in producing the finest espresso shots and espresso-based drinks, but also with extreme dexterity, zen-like demeanor and lightning quick speed behind the bar. Generally is quiet and modest, but can deliver a killer shot of espresso.

Compare and contrast with the rockstar barista.

Before I even put down my two dollars, that ninja barista had a killer doubleshot of espresso in front of me.

Barista

A person who works in a coffeeshop. More than likely, a person who puts up with large variables of bull shit from snobby customers throughout his/her work shift.

"Hey, what do you do?"
"I'm a Barista "
"Oh, I'm sorry..."
"Yeah man...It's okay."

rockstar barista

An espresso machine operator, who possesses not only exceptional skill in producing the finest quality espresso shots and drinks from the materials given (freshly ground coffee, water, espresso machine), but also possesses charisma, confidence and general aplomb with customers and co-workers in the espresso bar environment.

Compare with ninja barista.

That rockstar barista at Hines pulled me one of the best shots I've had in months, after giving me heaps of 'tude.
