baristarist

Well know affliction of a Barista's wrist who still use the old fashion coffee/espresso machines due to the repeated motion of twisting the filter handle on and off on the group heads. The pain is similar to carpal tunnel but does dissapeat after a while. Prevalent in newbee Baristas in training. Was alleviated a bit with the invention of the right angled version and now eliminated with the arrival of fully electronic espresso machines.

Why the wrist brace?
Dude crazy morning, been making double shots like nobody's biz and my wrist is on fire. I gotta touch of baristarist!
