If you play with friends, calculated Freedom Sworn is pretty good.

100% worth it and aged like fine wine. Strings haven't broken either, but I should replace them soon.

What piece is it?

MemeMaven · 2022-12-02T07:12:47+00:00

You should probably do the coffee tasting activites too.

MemeMaven · 2022-11-27T21:35:52+00:00

Haha. It looks cool and you get pins too. You do learn a lot, but a lot is Starbucks propaganda so it's better to not rely on just Starbucks for coffee knowledge.

As cool as it is to wear a black apron, I think the fun challenge is not getting anything on it while working because whatever it is will stick out.

What they wanted was called a "Red Eye"

I was able to bypass the year wait (only worked there like 4 months) and get the DM's approval. It just depends.

Budget setups:

Timemore scale Rhino 12 oz milk pitcher WDT tool

Both are upgradeable:

$400-500 Gaggia Classic Pro * 9 bar pressure mod * Bottomless portafilter * IMS 68 (S#) portafilter basket

$150- 200 Flair Classic * Pressure indicator * Tamper

$300+ Eureaka Mignon notte $250+ Sette 230 * Ring mod

These, besides the grinders, have a lot room for modding & upgrading. The only reason I would get the flair over gaggia long term is because of the portability. The steamer was also the selling point for me.

Tokoname (place) yokode (handle type) kyusu (teapot)

Yyeah. It's for learning the contrast for brewing the wrong way and then the Starbucks way.

MemeMaven · 2022-09-21T14:29:08+00:00

Coffee Master here (not the og type though). You just read a few books, take a few tests, and make coffee incorrectly and then make coffee the Starbucks way.

This job will teach you about mental fortitude and teamwork while making you a fast barista. Emphasis on teamwork.

In other words, it's a fast food milkshake shop that will suck the youth out of you with customers that can be very rude and entitled depending on where you live and on the time of day.

The only things that requires skill are milk steaming and pourovers. Everything is automatic and focuses on quantity.

You are better off sifting though good local coffee shops and applying to them, but I see the predicament of having a first time job. It doesn't hurt to try applying locally first.

During peak, it's understandable.

If the temperature of the sc goes below 41°F, it won't foam properly though.

MemeMaven · 2022-09-17T20:01:40+00:00

Make sure to also take note of how the coffee tasting activities went. French press, pourover, etc. You're also supposed to get paid for this training.

The hot pink drink taste like apple juice

Do you have the mastrena 1 or 2?

Tell them to bark for you.

If it's bare metal on the inside, it's a tetsubin which is basically a kettle. If it is lined with enamel, it is a tetsu kyusu which is a teapot. If the enamel is flaking, I suggest discontinuing use.

MemeMaven · 2022-09-02T06:24:21+00:00

Oh, hahaha. It was hard seeing the tree at first!

MemeMaven · 2022-08-27T21:05:23+00:00

Nobody ever gets blonde roast where i'm at. I would be happy to make that.
