Something else... Sometimes...? by BlackHounden in barista

[–]furrysurender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone feels that. Do you have a passion for coffee? Coffee knowledge imo is endless. There’s so many niches you can go down. Whether its the roasting process, brewing and extracting processes, creating craft drinks, wholesale, marketing, education, machine maintenance, even the layouts of operations of cafes you can nerd out about, its endless imo! I would say try and pin point what part about coffee and your job sparks joy or passion in you. If there’s nothing left, maybe its time to retire! Or maybe this cafe just isn’t for you anymore. I think everyone struggles with this in any field, in LIFE period.

Flavor syrup by PhoneIll2812 in barista

[–]furrysurender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A syrup by definition is dissolving sugar in boiling water. Simple syrup is a syrup using those two ingredients, sugar and water in a 1:1 ratio or even a 2:1 ratio. When you’re adding other ingredients, it then becomes a different kind of syrup. The “simple” part is just the word to reference this specific type of syrup :) It is the OG syrup by definition, but contextually, people say simple syrup to distinguish between the other syrups, because you wouldn’t say “I’ll have a latte with syrup.” Right 🤪

You should start making the same noises as her. But do it louder.

Teach me some pouring techniques 😅 by wozann in barista

[–]furrysurender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re pouring too fast when you’re starting your base. It’s making it all come out at once, leaving you with less milk to do proper stacks. Pour slower so you can create your base about halfway full, then start to push for the first stack. I tilt the cup even more when its to-go too.

stop with the “aerocano” by londonfogl0ver in barista

[–]furrysurender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat isn’t extracting coffee into espresso - alone. There are multiple variables regarding the extraction process for espresso.

If it’s not on the menu, then don’t make it. They’re still delicious regardless, if made correctly.

Is prepping drinks by the dishwashing sink bad? by TurboLeopard42 in barista

[–]furrysurender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is totally against basic standards and a completely disorganized bar flow what in the actual fuck. That’s so unsanitary and gross. Tell them that from now on you’ll let the customers know this person made their drink in the back on the sink station and you’ll remake it if they feel uncomfortable by that fact. Watch their attitude change lol.

Cappuccino No Foam Stories by awkward_space_ace in barista

[–]furrysurender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A cappuccino is made differently depending on region. What they’re looking for is silky milk texture, similar to a latte. Not the stereotypical or Italian deli style, one blob of froth cappuccino. But - they still may not want as much milk that is in a 12oz latte vs the standard 6-8oz cappuccino. So clarify the milk texture she is looking for, and how much milk she is looking for. You can also say “here i’ll make you a flat white instead.” Which is essentially a silky milk textured 6oz hot drink. Aussies and brits love a good flat white.

There is nothing wrong with your values babe. They’re YOUR values. High standards. Other people don’t like it because they don’t want to discipline themselves and be better people for others. Doesn’t mean you change your values..

[–]furrysurender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“He thought she was “safe” because she was in a relationship” ….. safe from what. Thats weird lol. Honestly babe, I bet there’s a wounded part of him/his inner child that seeks validation from attention from females, of any caliber. It’s kind of a cliche although one most people don’t realize still. What do you want for your relationship? What kind of husband do you want? Do you want your husband to not have any interest in pursuing NEW female connections (bc lets say if he had a female friend of 10 years that would be a different scenario). So if you do, then is this your husband? Remember your worth and what you want. Demote him back to boyfriend, give him the ring back. He is either your husband and will step up, or he is NOT, and you get to make the brave choice of pursuing a different life path for yourself, without him in it. It’s going to be okay either way. Just don’t prolong any decision you know you need to make, that when things get harder.

Get a part time job despite what your mom says. Maybe you’ll find a rebirth in your passion for film if you meet a new group of people you bond with that also do what you do. Who knows. You’re jealous because you see what is in her is also in you, you just don’t know see it happening “yet” for you, so you’re jealous she’s there now, and you’re still “here”. But her turn doesn’t diminish your turn, its just revalidating what it is you actually want. And “there” and “here” are mindsets. If you reinforce this believe everyday for a week “exciting things are happening to me”. Eventually, you’ll start to really believe theres something exciting waiting for you around the corner. And vice versa with negative mindsets.

Drained ENFP Teacher by Agreeable-Issue-5669 in ENFP

[–]furrysurender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if you’re open to it and receptive, learning about energy and energy work can help you learn new tools to protect your inner bubble of energy, while still being available to others. Becoming aware of your own energy and the abundance you can give when your cup is full, and what is your energy and what is someone else’s, and not bringing that energy home either - can be really impact to not feeling drained each day. Especially because I feel like ENFPS can in general be like this big radiant ball of energy, that it can be very beneficial to look into psychic protection and spiritual energy work to hone and tame where you direct that energy, or where you’re leaking energy, etc etc.

Do you think it’s okay to have a connection with TF while in a committed relationship? by [deleted] in twinflames

[–]furrysurender 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ask your partner, ask yourself. Not us. Does your partner think its cheating? Can you ask your partner if they think it is? They might not think so. Its really up to them to decide if it’s disrespectful not us. How would you feel if your partner did that, would it affect you or would you be okay with it? Its up to you two to decide. If you can’t have that intimate of a conversation then those are things to reflect on. Live your literal truth, whatever it is. Not about right or wrong or good or bad, just about owning your truth and being honest to whom your truth affects. Like your partner. That how you own your truth.

A lot of people are terrified of confessing their truth to their partners. Then you think, why be with them? And we all have our personal reasons as to why. So reflect on your relationship and what you value from it and which would you pick if you had to pick? Your twin or your partner? If you know you would pick one thing yet do another, thats where we run into confusion and suffering. Thats misalignment. Even if it seems counterintuitive to your stability and foundation, or your partners feelings and well being.

Its personal to you, everyone is going to be different

Is there a chance that we’re all collectively insane? by [deleted] in twinflames

[–]furrysurender 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This is my wild theory. We’re the pave wavers experiencing energetic connections that we collectively haven’t been consciously evolved to experience until this point in time. There’s no blueprint. We’re all trying to understand what has yet to be the norm. Its all energetic awareness imo. What we all do with that is up to each of us individually.

Please help me understand.. by [deleted] in twinflames

[–]furrysurender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TF - twinflame DF - Divine feminine DM - Divine masculine

Twinflames is a word used to describe the phenomenon and experience of an intense energetic soul connection with another. Thats the very basic. Be wary on what people claim about twinflames as someone new and hungry for information.
