attn baristas! why is it that when i go to my local coffee shop sometimes my iced americanos are delicious, and sometimes they are so watered down before i take a sip? is there a trick to it, or is it just the person making my drinks?
I'm looking for a good energy drink without all the caffeine in Monster, Rockstar, Red Bull, etc. I like drinking coffee and tea, but I drink them both without any additives. I hate "coffee" drinks with a huge amount of sugar/milk. I also don't like 5-hr Energy with over 8000 times my daily dose of vitamin B.
What's a good energy drink with about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee without a lot of sugar?
They have 3 drinks all with similar names and I want to know what the difference is between those two.
I know it's not because they are lactos-intorelant or anything, so why do so many people like to make their starbucks drinks with soy milk instead? I doubt it tastes better.
I just got a new espresso machine and it only can make espresso from pods. I'm used to grinding, tamping and pulling my own shots. But my question is can I pull more than 1 shot with 1 espresso pod? I usually pull 3 shots of espresso for my drinks (combined with milk). I guess I just want to know if I should pull 3 shots from 3 pods or can I pull multiple shots from 1 pod? Thanks, take care.
I JUST STARTED MCDONALDS I WORKED THE REGISTER THE FIRST FEW DAYS, AND TMMRW THEY ARE SENDING ME TO DRINKS.I'M A LITTL ELOST ON MAKING THE ICED/HOT MOCHA, LATTE, CAPPUCHINO, HOT CHOCOLATE, AND ESPRESSO.I WOULD LIKE TO NOE HOW TO OPERATE THE MACHINE AND HOW MUCH LIQUID AND PUMPS YOU PUT INTO EACH ONE TY IT WOULD REALLY HELP ME PLEASE I NEED HELP I DONT WANT TOO LOOSE MY JOB
Okay, today I decided to try out Starbucks......
I wanna get a Caramel Frappe "Frappuchino". But I've heard it's not easy ordering drinks there because there's millions of choices.. And I don't wanna look stupid asking about everything because I will most likely hold up the line. HELP!?
Yeah, I understand.. but I heard that they ask if you want in your drink.. or is that only in hot beverages?
I just started a new job at a coffee shack. Although I have two years of barista experience, I've never worked in such a busy setting and never with so many drink options and strict guidelines I'm to follow. Today was my first day of training and they put me at the busiest location at the busiest time of day. I'm expected to memorize and translate the coffee orders into a certain language to relay them to my employee at the espresso machine. We have two windows going at once and as many as four or five drink orders from each window at once.
So a customer will ask for something like this:
large frappe with sugar free white chocolate and raspberry, three shots, skim milk and light on the whipped cream
double iced 12 oz soy mocha with dark chocolate and double the flavoring
16 oz decaf Americano with half a shot of caramel and half of hazelnut, two splendas and cream
all at once, i have to translate that into:
TMF + fl sf sk light whip - tall mocha with flavor, sugar free, skinny, light whip
DTL soy + flx 2 - double tall soy with double the flavor...
And I'm just confusing myself now because I don't have my training manual with me...But I basically have to translate and re-arrange so I say # of shots first, then the size, then the drink, flavor, and milk and so on. I am not allowed to write any of this down. I need to practice memorizing drinks like this, customers rarely tell you what they want in that order and in that special code we use.
Keep in mind this was my first day and they accidentally put me on the most difficult shift possible...I think I will get the hang of it since I have previous experience but right now I'm very stressed. Any advice is appreciated!
I am 11 weeks this week and used to enjoy drinking coffee before I found out I was pregnant, but have been staying away from it since hearing the research about it being high risk for miscarriage. I have been drinking steamed milk in the mornings, but am getting a bit bored of it. Does anyone have any other ideas for drinks?
I love my starbucks coffee but want to change my normal coffee to something more healthy.
what drinks do they sell that is healthy but tasty?
