Best Of Tucson®   Best Baristas    Readers Pick  There's a good
reason why Starbucks has revolutionized the espresso drink, and
it's mostly because of their baristas. Every single wannabe
barista has to go to Coffee College (yup, that's really what
they call it) and pass a certification test before they're even
allowed near the espresso machines. We should know--we've been
there, done that. All that training means the baristas know the
very science of espresso; they're esp-erts, if you will. Sure,
there's not much room for creativity outside of the Starbucks
drink formula, but essentially, Starbucks baristas are the Ivy
League graduates of the espresso world.  Runners up:  2. Raging
