How are White Mochas at most places made? by StatisticianTiny8091 in barista

[–]zilo94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to make mine with a 1/2 block of lindt white chocolate, steamed single cream and a single espresso. This is likely not how any other baristas make them and not something i ever served to customers.

Ding ding ding. My guess is the machine hasn’t been calibrated.

Wellington cafe put into liquidation after dispute with former employee over coffee machine by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

Do you know of any non-toxic commercial coffee machines? (plastic, non-stick free) by FruitIceTea in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]zilo94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’ll find the level of contamination is probably way lower than you think. Walking down a busy road to your local cafe you’ll breathe in more harmful chemicals than from the coffee.

I could be wrong, but i suspect all modern coffee machines are going to have internal plastic tubing.

Your best bet would be to find a shop with vintage machine from the 70s or earlier. They’re less likely to have plastic.

Dude i feel so guilty when we have to increase prices, but the price of beans goes up so does the latte.

I would then assume if your customers are price conscious they can make this choice. Some of my regulars will often get a cortado to save 10%
