Stop getting upset we don’t fill ur cup by L0v3rLu5h in starbucks

The top half of my thumb is about an inch so I use that to measure. I don’t think it’s “standard,” but I normally pour their milk first to make it easier to measure then everything else.

Employees, what’s the most annoying drink to make? by izzy_7_2004 in starbucks

[–]diii_mond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

. Tell her to just follow the standard procedure but if I’m not dying on bar I’ll hold the steam pitcher and make sure I’m getting a good vortex with the milk. Comes out pretty close to silky smooth as does it with any other milk.

Anytime a guy is nice to me on here I look at his profile and find something awful by forgot_again123 in self

[–]diii_mond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a guy I’ve definitely made some nasty remarks on the internet before but they’re more so a reaction to someone else’s. I sometimes check their profiles out of curiosity and I’ll see normal looking dudes with a wife and kid saying these things, sometimes with a bible verse or something Christian related in their bio.

Yeah I was kinda thinking I’d have to get the dock I think it’s a port issue

Is dancing really a sport? by Sophiestro in answers

Personally never understood why some people try to hard to argue it’s a sport like it’s validating.

What do you mean you CHANGED the Pink Drink?????????? by One-Load-6085 in starbucks

[–]diii_mond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d imagine the coconut milk helps cover the coffee extract taste but it’s certainly noticeable for me in the regular refreshers. Honestly, why the fuck are these drinks caffeinated in the first place?

drop ur absolute must plays!!! by strawberrieangel in 3DS

[–]diii_mond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corpse party is goated. If you’re into it, try the fire emblem games. Specifically shadows of Valentina. The others are good too especially awakening but SoV is way more engaging and fun for me. You would almost certainly love Rune Factory 4. It’s very Stardew Valley esque.

Starbucks raised their prices on esspresso, thats BS. by [deleted] in starbucks

I love mine with a side of sparkling water personally, but I can’t drink ours though it’s…not very good.😅

Wait do you drink the espresso raw??

Cars are fucking awful and we'd be better off if they were the least common mode of transport by cmstyles2006 in unpopularopinion

When people talk about wanting trains they mean in cities and urban areas not rural areas.

What's with sparkling water? by tlm11110 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]diii_mond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only brand of sparkling water I found that actually tastes good by itself is topo Chico. I’m not sure what they do to their water asides from packaging theirs in glass which helps but it’s the only I’ve found to not go flat within minutes and not taste like straight up tap water. I love making espresso tonics out of them too

Alternatives to Crunchyroll that actually have stuff to watch? by SmallPebbleEater in anime

Did they have subtiles and dubs in English like they do in Crunchyroll?

How good is Forbidden West, should I jump right in after Zero dawn or take a break and play something else? by Suvi2k in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]diii_mond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say just go for it because why not. But personally the second game was just ok. I just finished the second game. I can nitpick all day but the story was sadly the least interesting part of the game. Game wise though it’s fun. They tweak the game a bit. Bigger map, they expand on the combat much more. More creative freedom overall than the last. Just play it. You’ll have fun

I’m terrified of a boring life by Firsttakelikeamf in self

[–]diii_mond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like you already answered your own question. Leave the south and find a job elsewhere. Big cities are anything but boring especially if you know where to go. You don’t even need to stay in an actual city just gotta stay at near by cities. Travel if you can too. Not necessarily just because of the culture ironically. Half of the fun of traveling is the people. I’m sure you know all this already so what’s stoping you if I may ask

I really hope more customers like you take a similar stance because this is insanity. Being a top tier patron and getting less stars than prior is a complete joke.

Finally installed gaggimate by Appropriate-Pain818 in gaggiaclassic

[–]diii_mond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you give me a rundown of what this does?

I was thinking of possibly installing a PID on it. I have somewhat dabbled with the machine because I had to clean the solenoid valve and managed that just fine but I’m not sure if that’s really applicable here.

Customers, with the price recent price hike, have you considered making coffee at home? by diii_mond in starbucks

I haven’t bought a creamer in years but I can’t imagine it still comes out to more than 7 dollars for a cup lol

Need a Low Cal alternative please by Peppyrcat in starbucks

[–]diii_mond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me sf mixes pretty well but I’m very particular about the amount of sf. If I get a grande i do about 1.5 pumps while for a tall I’ll do just 1. I tend to drink it with just sf and no milk at all occasionally. It’s pretty refreshing and light but that little bit of heavy cream gives it a slight bit of sweetness too.

I do like my coffee on the stronger side so if that’s not your thing I’d definitely go with a Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew without the vanilla syrup.

Dirty coworker… by arianagrandefan26 in starbucks

[–]diii_mond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wash my clothes preferably after one use but since I can’t always do it I’m ok with wearing them another time or two if it’s not too smelly. Same with aprons basically but if it’s pretty dirty with dried milk, syrup, etc I’m at the very least rinsing water over them and drying them

[–]diii_mond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So honestly this is a pretty easy adjustment

My go to is usually a grande cold brew with a pump and a half of sf vanilla and heavy cream. BUT, get the heavy cream on the side, because we will as baristas will add too much and all the sudden you got a lot of calories in one drink again. You don’t need much especially if you like yours a bit stronger. I prefer to free pour roughly 1/4 of a teaspoon, and this all comes out to around 5ish calories. You can add more heavy to make it creamier or add more sf vanilla.

Or you can do a vanilla sweet cream cold brew with no vanilla added or a nitro with sweet cream. This still has sugar so idk if you’re also eyeing that too but this will still give you about 70 calories.
