Confirms with customer that it will take a little extra time....

3 seconds later: WHY ISN'T IT READY YET?

I don’t mind as long as it’s not super busy. That being said, if you insist on a pour over in drive then you’re a bad person.

I got a Chemex for Christmas so I can make actually good coffee for myself at home, so recently I’ve kind of learned to love making pour overs because I’ve done so much research of how to do it properly to get the perfect cup of coffee. Every morning I wake up and weigh out my beans, time myself, and do everything perfect because for me it’s more about the routine and the craft rather than the coffee. The other day I was making a pour over for a customer and I poured enough water to saturate the coffee then let it sit for a few seconds so it could bloom and oxidize and a ssv who is very by the book came up and was like “YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO KEEP POURING UNTIL ALL THE WATER IS GONE!” And I just looked at them and was like “trust me...I know how to make a pour over.”

They’re honestly fine as long as it’s not during peak or in DT.

The brew batch guide has really been messing with us... it doesn’t want us brewing anything but Pike before 7am, but most of the coffee order are for dark or blonde. We tell it every time that we ran out but it keeps insisting pour over only. It makes for a fun time all around.

Even worse a pour over pike with steamed heavy cream and 14 stevia.

When I was a barista, there was this one dude who would get a $2.50 pour over but would always tip us $5. Such a wholesome man ❤️

Today was the day that I actually offered to do a pour over of dark roast for someone. It was for an elderly gentleman and it was his birthday, and he kept saying he didn’t want to be any trouble. No ragrets.

My mom LOVES dark roasts, and always seems to order coffee after you’ve stopped brewing it .... in the plus side, Starbucks is the only place I’ve seen her NOT be a Karen when it comes to waiting 😂

You know I never had a customer order a pourover who wasn't willing to wait. And only once or twice did I have a customer order one while it's busy.

Honestly made me sad when I got to make pourovers. I couldn't really remember the finer details of how to make a really good pourover and realised I wasn't anything close to a barista in the proper sense of the term.

But yeah pourovers are great and I really can't hold it against someone to want one if they only have time to go to Starbucks and not one of the other many coffee shops in town.

I think this perception depends on how the team in general views pour overs. The team at my store don't mind pour overs, in fact we only do decaf on pour over because as a kiosk we don't have space to brew it into an urn and nobody complains

Had a guy who ordered a pour over during peak regularly. Never seemed to mind the wait or anything. It really do be like that sometimes

“can i get a pike pour over, it’s okay i don’t mind waiting!”

Timing is everything. I love our store because we are a reserve store. A few of us on the team are coffee nerds, so we use a Chemex and our SM just for a siphon for our store!

We have a customer who always wants a decaf pour over at 7:30pm...we all hate him

I am knocking on wood so hard, but my stores pour over thing is dusty because nobody orders a pour over

I had someone come in a few days ago during peak and they requested a tall komodo french press. I almost leaped across the counter

I love a pour over, but I make it for myself on my break. Also there was a really nice guy who loves dark roast but usually came late, so I'd make him a pour over because he was patient and appreciated the extra effort.

It’s sooo annoying. Especially people in the DT and when people complain how we don’t have it brewing...

Sm tells me to warm people that pour overs can take up to 10 min.
Guy comes in, tell him it can take up to 10 min. He says it doesn't.
Ok, what ever.
10 minutes later..
He didn't seem to care at least.
