Dairy-free milk. Shaken or not, that is the question? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Lonely_Witcher8403
It's not really a question, I'm just curious. I know it's supposed to be shaken before every use. Please tell me that y'all shake yo dairy-free milk [before every use!]...I had a fellow barista laugh me out because I said I shake the milk before every use. They said you're only supposed to shake it every time you open a new carton...I don't know how they been drinkin' non-dairy milk for this long and don't know this. 💀
I just--
They think someone is opening the containers and putting them unshaken in the fridge...not realizing it needs to be shaken before every use because it separates 🤦🏽♀️

As a non dairy drinker and someone who cares about the quality of my drinks because it makes the job fun for me I make sure to shake my milk and encourage my fellow baristas to do the same :) getting the beginning of an almond milk bottle or the end of the soy carton isn’t fun for anyone and can make things like steaming the milk harder. I prefer to shake it!

If it’s been sitting for a while I shake it because yeah it separates but I don’t think everyone cares enough to shake it every time.

Shaking nondairies is 100% my favorite part of the job...until I get a face full of almond milk but yeah. Always shake them. Drinks taste like ass otherwise

omg i did this when i worked at starbucks and now at my current job i still do it (muscle memory i guess idk) and none of my other coworkers do it. it grosses me out. they also are horrible at FIFO and i have to constantly explain that non dairy milks go bad within a week of opening 🤦🏽♀️

are you truly a barista if you don’t shake your alt milks

omg one of my coworkers also said only to shake it before opening for first time. so gross omg it gets so watery especially the almond. i shake every time

i don’t shake it before every use because we go through a carton of each non-dairy like every half hour. so it’s already mixed. but when i first open it, yes.

I can understand that, but if it's been sitting for a while, it separates.

I only shake the almond milk the first time I open it. I never shake anything else.
Don’t got time for that.
