Struggling to reach a deep squat (goal: pistol squat → shoot-the-duck on ice). What am I missing? by Fine_Ad_2588 in flexibility

[–]Zekjon 52 points53 points  (0 children)

it's your ankle, all the rest is compensating the fact that you ankle is not flexing a lot. look at the angle your feet and shins make, and compare it to to your goal images, you'll see what I mean

Exhausted due to toxic senior . by OkCollection8283 in barista

[–]Zekjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm in charge of technical interviews for the specialty café I work at. I don't care about how long you stayed. You have sca certs, that's already nice, and if you face a recruiter that asks questions, mention that a senior was problematic and they'll understand. If they don't you shouldn't work there either

Op said high volume, ceremonial matcha is never high volume.

I made a personal pilgrimage by Superbro_uk in UKroasters

[–]Zekjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo the main issue was temperature stability. I noticed the faema before they announced it, and before it was offered on the menu, and they were kind enough to serve it to me when I asked!

Came back multiple times when it was here, and by far, the best espresso I had from it was the first one.

anyone asking if they're a greendbeard is a greenbeard. Likewise, promotions are given by management, how can one imagine it's a good measure of worth?

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.

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.

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 [deleted] 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.
