I was on drive bar for like 10 minutes this morning and did the most perfect stiff foam for a caramel macchiato that held 100% of the caramel. Very proud of myself. (i.redd.it)

That’s some quality cross-hatching too!!!

MamaRedCard [OP] 14 points 2y ago

At the last second, the customer asked for extra caramel drizzle, so I actually abandoned our training on pretty cross-hatches and just doubled up on the crosses.

I dont wanna talk smack but.. if you think thats some quality cross-hatching I think I gotta pull out what I've got 😆

Customer: Looks at the crosshatch appreciatively.
Caramel Drizzle: Sits on top of foam looking pretty.
Customer: Stirs Caramel Drizzle into the macchiato.
Barista: 🤦‍♂️

Don't worry, I don't stir my drinks.

Webshooter38 5 points 2y ago

Thank goodness lol. Some customers look irritated when they have to stir their macchiatos

ZacW94 2 points 2y ago

Some people tell me to stir it, and I just want to save the foam and syrup for last. Or sip it off the top, whichever comes first.

How what?

luvhen 4 points 2y ago

how do you get it to have the perfect foam on top? mines not so perfect, do i have to tap the bubbles out of the milk?

real-3st 3 points 2y ago

steam your milks until it makes a consistent hissing sound than a random spluttering and then when its done tap it on the counter and swirl to break up bigger bubbles it should look like wet paint and then when you drizzle make sure to use a thin line cause the drizzle is SO heavy

MamaRedCard [OP] 1 points 2y ago

Yea. Aerate the milk somewhere between latte and cappuccino time, then tap the pitcher to get rid of the bubbles.
