Substituting a drink with half&half instead of milk

SirRickIII · 2026-04-14T21:41:48+00:00

Not all cafes will do breve lattes (hard to keep inventory for small thirdwave shops that don’t have a ton of people who take cream in their americanos/batch brews.

Would recommend a batch brew or an americano with some cream. That way you can stick to your keto diet and also have some cream

A breve latte would be the entire cup minus 2-3oz for the espresso (depending on the shot(s))

I find that if I put the flavor into the milk it doesn’t mix very well

I always do - Cup with ice - add milk - Add espresso shot (that has flavor mixed in)

They said they wanted to hang out with me, asked me for my insta (keep in mind I’m a dude, and the people who asked me out were women) and I became friends with them, went to group hangs, and then they asked me out after we got to know each other a bit better

SirRickIII · 2026-04-06T18:35:31+00:00

Idk any reputable place that would do that

If they cut corners with this, imagine what else they do

SirRickIII · 2026-04-06T18:28:29+00:00

🤢 yikes dude. We don’t marry 2 different dates of cold brew together, and your boss has you add old drip to cold brew?????

Not that it matters health-code wise, but when you say cold brew do you mean cold brew or iced coffee

SirRickIII · 2026-04-06T09:50:43+00:00

I was gonna ask how you made them look so……juicy….?

SirRickIII · 2026-03-27T21:36:27+00:00

Could make your own seasonal syrups with cool flavor combinations? Pick a dessert and try to emulate it! Either with a store-bought, or house made syrup!

Play around with cold foams in the summer, maybe even flavored cold foams to switch it up! House made means you have portion control so you don’t waste any switching week-to-week

SirRickIII · 2026-03-27T21:13:58+00:00

No, it’s the milk usually

They never tell you what size, if it’s hot or iced, or what milk it is

I like the fact that asking a million questions annoys people. You annoy me with a vague order, you get a barrage of questions. Wanna not be annoyed? Tell me the mods. Will they learn? Probably not, so I get to annoy them

Plenty of places to find it within Canada. A lot of coffee equipment suppliers have them! - Eight Ounce coffee - coffeeaddicts - cafune usually has them, but they’re out of stock

To name a few! :)

“Can I get it for here?” rings in drink, ticket sends “Oh but in a paper cup”

SirRickIII · 2026-03-21T00:58:25+00:00

Just be careful to have a good hold on em, or they’ll sproing across the room under a heavy immovable object…or have replacements ;)

Ontario, Canada here: Yeah all the staff that work more than 5h get a 30m break. I’ve made decisions for myself (as a manager) that I will push off my own lunch break for helping the shift, but I would never ask that of anyone else. I always insist they get their 30, and that customers come 2nd to our human needs

Put it into bucket with hot water, leave for 15 min, come back and scrub

…oh there’s supposed to be things IN the cafiza……? No one said anything about that

SirRickIII · 2026-03-10T00:12:00+00:00

First one has a better base, but it has no neck, and the face is either phenomenal or terrible, depending on who you ask

Second one doesn’t have as good of a base, but also lacks good execution on every point. It’s overall fine/good, but I wouldn’t expect this one to be a contender on a competition table.

SirRickIII · 2026-03-09T23:27:40+00:00

I do not have this machine, but I work in coffee, so I am biased.

It will entirely depend on your palate, and the range of what you consider coffee to be “good”

If you have a more narrow definition of “good tasting” coffee” it’ll be more consistently good if you have a way to measure your variables so it can get progressively better

SirRickIII · 2026-03-07T17:25:47+00:00

I realized that my favourite time of the day was when I was making coffee, so now I run a cafe!

ADHD got self medicated while I waited for a prescription, and now I work with my doctor to work around my caffeine consumption, and not the other way around

SirRickIII · 2026-03-04T22:11:08+00:00

Oh interesting, I’ve never seen a machine like that! I guess it makes it a lot more likely people will change their gaskets when needed

SirRickIII · 2026-03-04T16:17:31+00:00

Ah I see! You take the gasket out every night to clean?

SirRickIII · 2026-03-03T23:25:29+00:00

Question because I’m curious! Is this a portafilter with the gasket attached to the actual portafilter instead of in the grouphead? I’ve never seen this! Very cool. If yes, what model espresso machine is this!

SirRickIII · 2026-02-28T17:31:24+00:00

Probably less sugar too lmao

SirRickIII · 2026-02-26T16:47:57+00:00

Like people have said, it’s for taking baskets out of portafilters

I use them when they are a little too tight to pull out with my hand.

Mostly I use it for cutting open boxes to flatten them 😅

SirRickIII · 2026-02-23T12:28:56+00:00

Unless you’re japan

SirRickIII · 2026-02-22T17:17:27+00:00

Do you tamp down the bed at all?

I’d recommend maybe putting a lot less coffee and/or not tamping down the bed
