Welcome to the Family, Green Bean 💚
I'm going to give you the bases to all Starbucks drinks, as practically all of them are based on it. S is the amount of seconds that the milk should be aerated (the paper tearing/spitting sound):
• ***Latte*** - **{3S}** (Espresso + Dairy/Dairy Alt + Flavor, if any): Starbucks lattes are espresso beverages, usually with a syrup and always followed by dairy or non dairy substitute. Standard is always 2% milk! Any kind of Standard or Specialty Lattes are just variations of this drink. Some examples include Raspberry lattes (2% milk + espresso + raspberry syrup) and Caramel Brulee lattes (2% milk + espresso + caramel brulee syrup + topped with whip and caramel brulee topping)
• ***Cappuccino*** - **{6-8S}** : Literally a latte, but you make it ✨fluffy✨ by adding way more oxygen in the dairy/dairy alt
• ***Macchiato*** - **{3S}** : a lattee, but upside down. Mill snd syrup goes in first, then the shots get put on top 😌
• ***Espresso*** : its just.. the straight shots. It can come on ice, or even with like cappuccino foam (de Pana or something like that) on top of it
• ***Frappuccino*** : This is cold bar. Basically its dairy/dairy alt, ice, whatever flavors you desire, coffee (if its coffee based; if it doesn't have coffee, you leave it out), and base (magical syrup that combines dairy and ice.. it comes in either cream or coffee flavor)
• ***Tea*** : these babies are either poured into a shaker with the right teas and flavors, sweetener of necessary, and ice, or like actual tea bags that you put in hot water (pretty self explanatory)
• ***Cold Brew*** : literally drinkable crack.. like.. it has more caffeine than a monster energy drink. Its poured out of a keg with ice and sometimes people want condensed sweetened milk with it (we call it vanilla sweet cream). Theres also ***Nitro Cold Brew***, it DOESNT GET ICE. It's the same coffee, but the keg uses magic and sticks nitrogen into it to make it.. smooth.. yeah I know sounds weird but you gotta try it
Extra tips
Refreshers are just teas with usually water or lemonade shaken in it, alongside the correct inclusion with it. For example, a Strawberry Acai Refresher is Strawberry Acai tea (comes in a magical box) + water +freeze dried strawberries + ice. They can get it with lemonade instead of water. ALSO, if the drink is with coconut milk instead if lemonade or water, its then called whatever color it is. Strawberry Acai with coconut milk is the **Pink Drink**.
Dont wipe like.. anything electrical with a wet rag, like the coffee brewers.. you will become paralyzed.
Before using a new whip cream canister, shake it upside down and horizontal, and just spray a little into a sink to let out some gas. From there, only half way press the handle to apply whip cream.. otherwise too light is sad, too hard will blow up your drink
Cold bar lids suck.. especially dom lids.. no It doesnt get easier, you just gotta pray that Siren will grace you with magical lid snapping skills
Customers suck sometimes.. it's ok.
Dont forget about your free weekly coffee markouts, as well as getting a food and drink when you work. Food DOES.INCLUDE paninis, not just like the lame.breakfast stuff

I like that you added not to wipe the coffee coffee brewers with a wet rag because no one told me that and I definitely received a ⚡️zap⚡️

That’s the caramel machiatto! (It also gets one less pump then usual of vanilla). Good luck with the next few weeks, you’ve got this!☺️

also any helpful tips for remembering the pumps/ ways to remember how long to steam the milk and anything that might be useful in my notes would be greatly appreciated 🥺
