I blush everytime I do coffee tasting for my partners. Do you ? (reddit.com)

No, but I’m blushing seeing you do a coffee tasting for your partners.

I'm not sure why it doesn't show the pic that I want it. Oh well

Never did a coffee tasting sadly. I've been here a year and its just work, money, apologize to customers. Cant remember the last time I've been excited to work :(
Mr-Snack 3 points 2y ago
Same here. I'm also kind of bummed the coffee master program isn't a thing anymore because those black aprons are spiffy.
flatwhitewpg [OP] 3 points 2y ago
I heard next year , we will get special aprons for coffee leaders. Stay tune ☺️
flatwhitewpg [OP] 3 points 2y ago
Why? I'll be happy to make you one any day.

That would be amazing, I just need a time in the day where my store doesnt have 10 car lines

I just became the stores coffee lead! My first tasting is this coming week and I’m so excited/nervous. Any tips? You look pro-fessional😎
flatwhitewpg [OP] 3 points 2y ago
Omg that is so exciting!! Would love to talk more to you about it. I've been a coffee master for 6 years and I did coffee tasting to Lori (vice president) and my RM (Colin). I take it very seriously.

Noooo way!!!! That’s such a high honor!!! Is it okay if we PM? I’d love to hear all about it and your recommendations! Sadly I’m the only one in the store still passionate about coffee, but I guess that’s where I come back in.
flatwhitewpg [OP] 1 points 2y ago
It takes only one person to make a bunch passionate about it. I believe in you! Yes you can PM anytime . Are you super fresh into Starbucks coffee academy? I'd love to hear your story !

Nice!! I'm leading my first coffee tasting tomorrow in front of my DM... any tips or suggestions? I'm slightly terrified haha
flatwhitewpg [OP] 1 points 2y ago
Which coffee are you going to do? And don't be terrified ! You got this. You can message me anytime
jayessdubs 1 points 2y ago
I'm thinking of Guatemala, and I might see if I can bring in some dark chocolate... But my SM recommended a second coffee and I'm a bit stuck on where to go with that

And thank you !! I'll probably take you up on that sooner rather than later, I'm excited to learn about it :)

I LOVE COFFEE MASTERSS XD

I wish my store did things like this. My SM has been in charge of my store going on 4 years and she told me our store has never done a coffee tasting under her
flatwhitewpg [OP] 1 points 2y ago
What? 4 years and you had non? I'd be happy to make one for you on zoom or something ☺️
AndrewtheRey 1 points 2y ago
I’d love that 🙂

Edit: to clarify, I’ve only been at Starbucks since December
flatwhitewpg [OP] 1 points 2y ago
It doesn't matter how long you've been. I feel by now, you should have had at least 10 coffee tastings. I have one with my team every week (minimum)
