Joanna Angel Serves Up Delights in Burning Angel's 'Baristas'

LOS ANGELES—To some, Baristas is a pretentious term used by struggling actors and dejected art majors to make themselves feel better about slinging coffee for a living. But all of that is changing this week, thanks to AVN award-winning actress/director Joanna Angel. Baristas is a new adult comedy that follows the lives and lusts of several inked-up coffee servers, and it's coming to retail locations this week thanks to Burning Angel Entertainment's exclusive distribution deal with Vouyer Media. As the DVD unfolds, feisty Angel and her sultry staff (Jessie Lee, Kleio, Veruca James and Krysta Kaos) need to figure out how to lure more customers into their independent coffeehouse (lovingly dubbed the Burning Angel Coffee Hole) before evil developers turn it into a parking lot. It seems their expensive drip-brewed coffees and passion teas are no longer profitable in today's troubled economy.But when the girls bring in a reality TV show for some much-needed publicity, everything changes. Soon they are steaming customers’ milk, grinding beans, pumping syrup and warming buns like never before in an effort to save the coffeehouse from certain doom. From an interracial three-way featuring Dana DeArmond to an intense back-alley encounter that showcases Mr. Pete’s powers of seduction, Baristas proves the Burning Angel crew will do anything to rescue Angel's Hole!“I combined two of my loves to make this film: Sex and coffee,” Angel said. “And I got Jessie, Kleio, Veruca, Krysta and Dana in on the fun too, which made the ‘blend’ just right!”   Clocking in at nearly three hours, this new release delivers all of the wry humor and wild sex that Burning Angel fans have come to expect, according to the company. DVD extras include a behind-the-scenes feature, still galleries and more.
