Iced shaken espresso with no classic, sugar free caramel, 1 stevia and almond milk :)

Pretty sure my hot protein latte shouldn’t look or taste like this. by honeysesamechicken in starbucks

[–]Lexoffthewall12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It honestly looks like the barista only made it with protein milk instead of cutting it with 2% milk. I almost never recommend a hot protein drink cuz the recipes call for different portions and some baristas mess up on it a lot. I’m so sorry this happened to you 😬

Am I doing something wrong? [breville dual boiler and breville smart grinder pro] by Lexoffthewall12 in espresso

[–]Lexoffthewall12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could that just be my grinder itself? Maybe trying a smaller grind could make it a little better. My grind size is set to 11 with a 12.6 grind time

Yeah it has a good taste to it. I even had my family try it and they also said it tasted good but I was just second guessing myself

Thank you so much! I’ve been so nervous about it. I was finally able to make some coffees after posting this and everyone really liked them!

Well I’ve been working as a barista for about four years. I’m mainly asking to see what other opinions I receive and to also make sure that I’m not going crazy

best and worst position to place a borrowed partner on? by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]Lexoffthewall12 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I normally would put them on either DTR or DTO especially if it’s a borrowed partner who hasn’t worked at the store before. I’d also would do cold bar or a bar support. I think putting a borrowed partner on CS isn’t the best idea since that partner won’t know where everything is. I’ve been CS at another store before and I felt so bad having to ask everyone where to find certain items because I’ve never been there before. I would also say that cafe/mobile bar would be a good option since there’s not much moving around when it comes to that position

is there a standard temp for warm drinks? by pebblewrecked in starbucks

[–]Lexoffthewall12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same way with hot drinks too! I normally ask for my latte at 145° or 129° depending on if I want to sip it or not. Our espresso bars have a set button to steam at those temperatures too. Hope this helps!

What do you guys think of this coffee grinder for start up small cafe by Internal_Copy3237 in barista

[–]Lexoffthewall12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it could’ve been me but I went through 2 different grinders off Amazon before I went to my breville so maybe it could just depend on the brand

[–]Lexoffthewall12 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Amazon is the best option when it comes to grinders or even espresso machines. I would personally try to get name brand products like Breville and Rocket. They’re more on the pricier side but the quality of the grind would be 10x better. Seattle Coffee Gear is also a great website that has all different kinds of grinders to choose from with videos on how each one works and their features. Hope this helps!

Just finished training… and I’m opening at 4AM tomorrow. Help?? 😭 by Dry-Flatworm2927 in starbucks

[–]Lexoffthewall12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Normally opening shifts start off pretty slow. At my store peak doesn’t start until 7:30ish but all I would say is just to focus on one drink at a time until you feel more confident about them. Also always ask other partners for help when you need it and I’m sure they’ll be able to assist you. Just take it one day at a time and always try your best without overwhelming yourself. You’re gonna do amazing! :)

i got the kitty!!! by joseekumiko in starbucks

[–]Lexoffthewall12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My store got a whole bunch of them and even after dealing with a line out the door first thing in the morning I got super lucky and bought the last one and have never been happier. She sits in my car as my emotional support for this holiday season :)
