just some quick questions! (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by sorrysmithy
I’ve been a barista for almost 6 months now, and my store manager wants me to become a trainer soon, but there are a few things I can never remember that I should probably know by now. Can anyone help me out?

Ok so I know lattes is 1 shot for a tall and 2 for grande/venti, but for mochas is it the same or are ventis 3 (or is it just iced ventis are 3?)

Double shots on ice- how the heck do i make them? lol i have to ask every time😂

I tend to mix up the amount of syrup pumps between cold and hot drinks... can someone clarify?

Thank you all so much!!! Holiday season is almost over we got this! <3

hey!!

for lattes, it's 1 shot for tall and 2 shots for grande/venti.. but it's 3 shots for venti iced. another difference is flat whites! they get an extra shot and they are ristretto. so a tall flat white gets 2 ristretto shots and a venti iced would get 4!

a double shot on ice is made in a shaker that's used for the refreshers. you put the corresponding scoop of ice and add classic (2 pumps for tall, 3 for grande, and 5 for venti) and then put the shots, same amount as the classic (2 shots for tall, 3 for grande, 5 for venti) and shake!! then you pour it into a cup and fill the rest of the way with 2%

and for the syrups!! i usually just remember based on grande size which always gets 4 pumps, and then remember that it's one less for tall(3) and one more for venti (5). but when the drink is venti iced, it's like the shot and gets one more pump of syrup(6). then the trenta is also iced so i count up from there once more (7). so it's short(2) tall(3) grande(4) venti hot(5) venti iced (6) trenta(7). the only tricky part is the cold brews.. for some reason the grande salted caramel cold brew gets 4 full caramel pumps, but the grande irish cream only gets 2 full pumps and same with the vanilla in the pumpkin cream cold brew (4 cold bar pumps). for the cold brews i usually just check the app! the app is so helpful for any recipes you're confused on!!

i hope i helped a bit! i'm also pretty new, but lmk if i can help with anything else! 🥲
