Jrod004001 [OP]58 points2y ago
So the Coffee master program is the new Coffee Academy program
mykotman124 points2y ago
It’s for licensed stores only
axonxryxpar1 points2y ago
What is it called? I’m at a licensed and interested
GreenTourmaline1320 points2y ago
How long did it take you to do the coffee academy?
Jrod004001 [OP]30 points2y ago
Soo it took me like one month because my manager had me do 4 coffee tastings two with partners and two with customers.
GreenTourmaline1316 points2y ago
Is your lobby open? I told my mgr I was interested in CA, but they didn't mention tastings w customers
Jrod004001 [OP]14 points2y ago
Yes well I work in a college Campus store so our lobby is open

This might be why you got it. I’ve heard that completing Coffee Academy at a *licensed* store would get you the Coffee Master apron, but it doesn’t apply to those of us at corporate stores.

lessthansymbol-316 points2y ago
How did you get an apron?? I thought you couldn’t order them anymore??
Jrod004001 [OP]21 points2y ago
Actually the new Coffee Academy is the Coffee master program therefore my manager ordered some for my self and another SSV who completed the program and the tastings
lessthansymbol-311 points2y ago
Wow okay I didn’t know that... and I’m an ASM lmao. I will definitely be checking into how to order one. Bc I completed that program during lockdown.
zlafrance3 points2y ago
The were not orderable for the longest time, but they randomly popped back up on store orders maybe a month ago in IMS. Same place you order regular green aprons and whatnot
lessthansymbol-33 points2y ago
I’ll have to check tmw! But Order green aprons..... ?? I’m in Canada ... we don’t have our own aprons. We get them washed and brought to us every week.

Go you!!!
theblackwarlock444 points2y ago
Wait?? But?? I thought they pulled the coffee sleeves from inventory and they’re no longer earnable?? Does this mean I can still get the black apron.
mykotman122 points2y ago
It’s for licensed stores only

beccaboo2u2 points2y ago
Definitely a flex worth flexing
mykotman122 points2y ago
You might want to mention that it’s for licensed stores only
Babygrincher1 points2y ago
I really don’t think that’s true, I have a friend who earned one like 6 months ago from a non licensed store
mykotman121 points2y ago
SM can order one and give it to someone yes. But if you want to “earn” it, right now there is no official way for corporate stores to do so. Only for licensed
confirmedfucko2 points2y ago
so I really worked the gap year they never shipped black aprons wishing I had the opportunity to get one bc I’m so into coffee. then quit right before they started again... ight.
edit: also congrats OP! ❤️ love from one barista to another ☕️
crzyshiba2 points2y ago

crzyshiba2 points2y ago

Jrod004001 [OP]2 points2y ago

crzyshiba2 points2y ago

mykotman121 points2y ago

i'm super jelly... I started the monday after black friday 2016 (at a mall store)... within a few months I mentioned I was interested... at the time it was on hold... then it was no longer avl... shortly before covid the new program became a thing... so I literally tried for years and couldn't get it... I did have a few old partners willing to give me a coffee master apron... but I just wanted the dang class... I knew more about coffee than our Coffee masters... but I wanted the specific info that bux had lol...
oh well... I actually enjoy my new job and don't get abused over stupid things anymore... plus I get paid to throw axes ;-)

I did the inventory for a while at my store and just ordered a pair for myself 🤷♂️, but congrats you earned it legitimately!
Luna_Pear-6 points2y ago
I’m pretty sure you can’t get the black apron anymore. I think your manager just let you have it.
Jrod004001 [OP]2 points2y ago
Coffee Academy
Luna_Pear-7 points2y ago
Nope. Just because you completely it, doesn’t mean you get it. Your manager just let you have it.
Hyperioncorp3 points2y ago
What are you trying to imply? OP posted that they did the coffee academy, and as a result their manager got them the apron.
mykotman121 points2y ago
It’s for licensed stores only
Luna_Pear-13 points2y ago
My point is, that’s not how you earn it. Awesome for you that your manager let you have it, but don’t give others false hope that they can get it by completing the course. As a real coffee master myself, it kind sucks hearing it was so easy for you to get the apron. The original program was practically a whole class we had to take, we had to do a TON of tastings throughout time, we had to show a real passion for coffee and at the end we had to do a professional presentation/test. I had heard of some people failing it. Once again, awesome for you, but others will not revive the same outcome from completion as you did.
BaristaBabeSC-1 points2y ago
Hate to burst your bubble , but anyone can get these from coffee gear
SexyLittleLamp2 points2y ago
But they have rebranded the coffee master program so if someone has any integrity they’ll earn it like OP did
BaristaBabeSC1 points2y ago
Yeah, I’d wish that too. I have a shift that bought one from coffee gear and didn’t have the integrity. I have all green aprons so. Coffee gear to me is a scam
Tangofett4-30 points2y ago
Now you get to flex on everybody else in your store, lol! When I moved from a Tarbucks to a real store, I had 3 coffee master aprons and made my shifts jealous. eBay, baby
