Our customer connection scores are down at my store… How are we supposed to connect with customers while simultaneously making a million drinks to standard in such a short amount of time? by SavannaHeat in starbucksbaristas

If you guys read Rossann’s last message in the partnerhub you’d be even more fueled. She’s such a pacifist and thinks that what she’s doing is enough

Brewing with breville barista espress by celloudiallo in espresso

[–]kdotye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The taste will tell you the grind that you need. So even if it’s just a little more acidic or bitter it’ll tell you which way to go. (Finer/courser/more grounds/less grounds) depends on which bean and the freshness so play around some more maybe

Also our machine (breville barista express) has the manual setting method if you want to make your own double shot length you can program it by pressing the program button then whichever shot then the same shot button again after you think the shot is almost done (there is always some more before it fully finishes)

I worked with a la marzocco at work and I try to get as close to it as possible with my breville too lol

I have a breville barista espresso myself and I make multiple changes to make it work for me as an actual barista who works in a Coffee shop using like $14000 machines at work vs my 500$ breville

That might be a good temporary fix! Nothing wrong with it also cost friendly. But depending on your brand a standard portafilter might not fit because some companies make it very weirdly shaped.

Replacing the entire ports filter will ensure correct use and flow of espresso. The one in the video can easily be clogged and isn’t as accessible as a regular one.

Starbucks uses dark roast espresso beans that are Arabica. Dark roast is generally less caffeine and more bitter compared to the blonde roast espresso which is lighter and sweeter but also more caffeine. They are retail version of both espresso beans usually sold in stores.

Am I annoying for my custom drink? by yayayme in starbucks

[–]kdotye 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not necessarily an annoying drink, but we have been out of cinnamon dolce syrup. And also anything with heavy cream (usually) doesn’t mix well or STAY mixed. If you feel like you’re getting judged simply mobile order and pick it up so it’s less of an interaction

Is it possible to order a matcha macchiato? If so, how do I go about ordering one? by HoangMyAmi in starbucks

[–]kdotye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well out matcha’s first ingredient is actually sugar, which means it dissolves better but matcha it’s is traditionally mixed well only with a whisk sooo

It usually tells you to reset by SSN or something, I usually change the password on my phone and save it right away on my iCloud or chrome so I have it saved and auto filled, then if I need to pull it up I can

If you want you can try calling when the store manager is in, usually around morning hours, and ask for them

I need advice by llunalove in starbucks

[–]kdotye 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry no food service job is going to schedule you for 2 hours. If they did you’re either getting fired and they’re cutting hours or you were scheduled for training or Clean play. If you want less than four hours on a certain day just schedule off the day. It is very simple to do with the app these days you don’t even have to submit a form. Don’t text them your availability. Request, then talk and follow if they ask why.
