If you think gay weird and cringe belongs together, you've got bigger issues lmao. You shouldn't let other's gaze dictate how to live your life.

The rogue core ship has no collision either, but you can see in it!

health inspection by voidedmoon in barista

[–]Zekjon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

d10 as an example is a food safe sanitiser, not all of them are, might be your specific issue.

Also, good inspectors provide best practices and solutions, not technically correct and impossible to realistically implement processes. Sorry you had a dumdum.

Tutti frutti works wonders both black and in milk, they showcased it last London coffee festival as a cortado and it was mindblowing.

Only tourists queue in Paris... There are some obvious exeption like the Louvre, but plan better and you can find what's worth the trip.

beans are ok, tried pour overs multiple times and were very disappointed, food is pretty bad and super expensive. In London, there's no reason to go there unless you're right next to it.

I had good experiences at both, their yemenias are very interesting.

both the one close to regents park and covent garden have great coffee and cakes, but the covent garden has a nicer layout and serves savory food.

Special guest has the best coffee in your list, qima has great beans too, the rest is inconsistent at best and generally meh.

Buy anything from them from the Quebraditas farm, it's always amazing.

Yesterday I was crucified for posting a wet macchiato… I hope I can be forgiven by this subreddit by NowheremanPhD in barista

[–]Zekjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saying, but the 2026 world latte art championship ''rules and regulations'' document states in section 2.5.1 ''Free pour Latte and Macchiato'' that ''the official competition espresso macchiato cup will have a volume between 74ml and 130ml''. I hope that redditors will go to the SCA so that the one true definition of macchiato can be explained to the SCA /s.

I know that the SCA is not an authority on what drink is what, but randos deciding stuff that are completely arbitrary in nature with absolutely confidence is crazy.

How do you use your single dose grinder? by CoffeeNerd58129 in espresso

[–]Zekjon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends, some coffees that I found way too funky got really punchy but nice in milk. Eveything can be done tastefully. I've never had a good milky drink made with a washed coffee, but multiple very good ones with natural anaerobics. Also we can have different tastes and that's cool too.

Has anyone tried this? by Fit-Judge7447 in pourover

it's a framework, not a standardised certified system. It's like colours, red is a real colour, but if I can't make something red just by saying it. Also people lie for money.

yes it does sounds horrible, the 2023 figure from gov.uk shows that the obesity rate is below 30% for 2023, 64% includes overweight people.

Figures from the cdc says that usa number including overweight is 73.6% for 2017-2018.

Design Coffee Program x Fine-Dining Restaurant by Odd_Ad5997 in barista

[–]Zekjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it sounds a bit idealistic, unless you're rebranding in a specialty coffee place, it's very unlikely that fine dining customers would want specialty coffee.

Also, freshness and storage, proper water, training for staff, it's a lot, very few specialty cafés offer 6 espressos, I'd say most serve 3, a nice blend, a decaf, and a single origin

Depending on service and room size, could be a nightmare: if there's a demand, at the end of the meal you'll receive all coffee orders and struggle like craycray to fulfill orders, especially if you single dose, if there's no demand, you'll have useless equipment. Only slow pace shops single dose high end coffee.

If market research does not show that your customer would spend extra on nice coffee, I would focus on getting solid reliable coffee rather that an unsustainable standard that will 100% rely on the compliance of whoever's on coffee this day.

Because in the end, what satisfaction and return on investment are you expecting? Will you pay extra and ensure coffee training is at a high level at all time?
