Do baristas only make coffee?

No, baristas do not only make coffee. It depends on the employer and the place of employment.

For example, Starbucks serves more than just coffee, offering options like tea and frappuccinos. However, their employees are still called baristas, and they also handle coffee drinks. A specialty coffee house may offer espresso-based drinks solely like lattes and cappuccinos.

Technically, baristas prepare espresso-based drinks and coffee drinks such as French press coffee and drip coffee. They have experience in preparing them and knowledge about the different types of coffee around the world.
