Do you have a PDF of that to share?
sorrysmithy [OP]134 points2y ago
not yet, once i’ve added everything else i can post a link under this thread :)
FfierceLaw13 points2y ago
Thanks! It looks great
SaevioAvis10 points2y ago
Also remember as of Jan 21 that coffee Frappuccino’s do indeed get whip cream when adding any additional flavored syrup that isn’t sugar free. :) the updated recipe cards should be on the iPad.

thanks!

I'd love to know when that happens this would be a fun tool for my team
Kmsss1 points2y ago
Id like one too!
board-certified65 points2y ago
am i the only one looking at some of these numbers and seeing things that are definitely wrong
sorrysmithy [OP]21 points2y ago
plz tell me if something is wrong! the references i used were not the most recent
silversungoddess21 points2y ago
Your shaken espresso pumps are incorrect. It looks like you made it based off of the old Starbucks double shot recipe. You can double check me but Pumps are 4/5/6
Animuthrowawayplz26 points2y ago
Only reason I know is because I keep having to correct people after being corrected by a shift. It's cold pumps 3/4/6.
sorrysmithy [OP]12 points2y ago
at my store we only use hot bar pumps for shaken espressos, so i based it off of that, if it’s incorrect regardless plz let me know!
horriblyIndecisive16 points2y ago
It looks amazing! But the shaken espresso pumps are full pumps:1/2/3 Or cbs pumps: 2/4/6 Unless im wrong lol it should be like the vanilla sweet cream cold brew
silversungoddess8 points2y ago
I’d double check the recipe cards on the iPad just to be safe. It looks like you’ve put in so much hard work and it looks amazing. If I remember to check tomorrow I will. I know the brown sugar is 1/2 pumps but not sure about the classic (as I’ve never seen half bar pumps on a classic bottle ever lol) so you might be 100% correct based on that.
Confident-Key46052 points2y ago
pumps are cold bar pumps and they’re 3/4/6! they’re the same as iced espresso drinks but half pumps
board-certified17 points2y ago
espresso shots for both americano and flat white, vanilla syrup pumps for caramel macchiato, and chai pumps for hot chai are wrong so i would double check those with the computer before you post
sorrysmithy [OP]6 points2y ago
i’m not using s/t/g/v for americano and flat white, i’m using t/g/v/v-iced so those shots are correct, for hot chai i shouldn’t have put the venti iced one on there oops, and same for caramel macchiatos, they do get one less pump than a latte would so those should also be correct. i’ll still double check with pos but thanks for the feedback!
board-certified23 points2y ago
as a shift and trainer i highkey advise against leaving out shorts on this tool if it’s intended used is to be a helpful tool for green beans
YT_haarisrehman3 points2y ago
just being nit picky about some things:
for americano it might be nice to say hot / cold water or make two boxes, one for hot and say 1/4 inch room at top and one for iced that says cold water + ice or just leave hot out altogether in case something that might be obvious doesn’t get confused for a green
also i might be wrong, but i’m pretty sure the contents of a cappuccino is 1/3 milk foam 1/3 steamed milk espresso shots
also it’s important to note for the espresso con panna it goes in a double cupped short cup with substantial amount of whip cream (1/4 in room)
if you feel like it, might also be nice to somehow differentiate between green tea iced green tea green tea latte iced green tea latte
also my Store Manager and Shift have gotten onto me for saying “fraps” since “frappuccino” is the trademark for starbucks, but since this isn’t an official corporate cheat sheet it might be better to keep it as “fraps”
but you have done an amazing job!! definitely will share with our store trainers for future greens
GreyGreyson2 points2y ago
Caramel macchiato gets one less pump of vanilla
Mora_Starseed1 points2y ago
Didn't they recently change the recipe for caramel macchiatos to have syrup pumps the same as other lattes? Now I have to double check.
GreyGreyson1 points2y ago
Let me know!! I’d rather have the correct information than be correct
GreyGreyson1 points2y ago
They could have, if that’s the case I definitely missed the communication, my stores trainers are really good about communicating that information as well
airwrecca1 points2y ago
If you're in the US I believe both the stcf and gtf get 2/3/4 full dose pumps of classic and a crcf is 2/3/4 and mccf does not get mocha driz on the bottom
olivinemultichrome48 points2y ago
Just FYI an espresso Frappuccino still gets frap roast, and all sizes get one shot of espresso!
sharkoss14 points2y ago
To add to this, espresso frapps only get 1 shot + standard frap roast pumps no matter the size. A lot of my green beans didn't realize that!
Edit: wait I'm a fool I just realized the second half of your comment says exactly this omg
KindnessYoga25 points2y ago
Wait, so we're not supposed to randomly combine ingredients?
samikazumi24 points2y ago
not to be that person but it’s spelled cappuccino!
sorrysmithy [OP]6 points2y ago
i’m also that person, so thank you! bahaha frappachinos have ruined me😩
pinkraisin21 points2y ago
There's still no 'h' in frappucino either lol
sorrysmithy [OP]14 points2y ago
wow nevermind i’m just stupid (fraps have still crushed me tho lol)

Thisssssss! I can’t even count how many times I’ve argued with partners over this bs. They don’t “die”, they’re just shitty over roasted beans lol
sorrysmithy [OP]5 points2y ago
facts. when i was trained they made me taste a shot that had been sitting untouched for about 3 mins... i almost threw up🤢
BatWeary6 points2y ago
Same. Haven’t worked at a real coffee shop, but went to one regularly. I asked them about the shot thing after starting at Starbucks and they told me shots don’t die after 5 seconds. Maybe after 20 minutes, but not 5 seconds
pfunk425298 points2y ago
This makes me sad. I was a STAR team member (corporate training team for new store openings back in my day) who's specialty was new barista training and we had something like this standard at the stores to give out. If I remember right they were on that plasticy type printout so you could write on them with dry erase markers. You should be having to reinvent that wheel. It's awesome that you are! But you shouldn't have to... what happened to the support from above?
janedoe__055 points2y ago
have the pdf links been posted yet?? i’m scrolling through the feed and can’t seem to find them. if they aren’t released can you pls reply to this message when they are? as a green bean these would be a life saver ❤️
CapableArtist1235 points2y ago
I believe the Carmel macchiato is actually 1234 for vanilla!
sorrysmithy [OP]5 points2y ago
i have it as 2/3/4/5 for t/g/v/v-iced, 1/2/3/4 is correct for s/t/g/v
RareGull4 points2y ago
I’m pretty sure the espresso frap is a shot of espresso and then the normal amount of frap roast. I could be wrong, but that’s what a shift told me. I was trained to replace a pump of the frap roast with the shot, so either could be right or both could be wrong. I’ve been doing full pumps and one shot
Sassycamo393 points1y ago
Did you ever post the PDF?
hazelnutbeanjuice3 points1y ago
did you ever get to finish the pdf for this ? it would help me so much thank you ❤️ 🥺

sorrysmithy [OP]7 points2y ago
i’ll post the pdf on this thread soon, i’m going to finish it up then i’ll post!
LatteMaster3 points2y ago
What about short?
sorrysmithy [OP]6 points2y ago
i just kinda vetoed short bc i’ve literally never sold anything as a short in the entire year i’ve worked there, the official training will go over that and on the rare occasion someone orders one, they can just ask
edit: plus it’s listed under the standard shots/pumps section for reference, it just saved some space too
laughingashley5 points2y ago
When they start offering samples again, short is good to know
Averageredditor123462 points9m ago
Did these ever get finished?
koalaadams2 points1y ago
I start on Tuesday, this is so helpful in easing my anxiety about learning everything so soon !
Sassycamo391 points1y ago
I will send you want I have been using with my Green beans and they love it.
juliaandy992 points1y ago
Hi! Did you ever get to finish this and create a printable pdf?
Meggy_Mo132 points1y ago
Hi! I’m a green bean, have you put these in PDF yet? I start drinking training next week and this would be SO helpful!! You are awesome!

I love it but I do remember that they changed how chais don’t get hot water anymore
Swimming_Agent_68492 points2y ago
Wait Chai doesn’t get hot water?? Oops
Karenfromstarbies2 points2y ago
Pls make one for hot teas!!! The midi one ball always confuses me or I forget the build!
sorrysmithy [OP]2 points2y ago
we aren’t supposed to say medicine ball to customers even tho that’s what everyone knows it by lol, but the honey citrus mint follows hot tea latte steps with honey blend, jade citrus mint and peach tranquility bags, and then half water half steamed lemonade instead of milk :)
Karenfromstarbies1 points2y ago
I happy you understood my messed up text lango😂😂😂 but I didn’t know that! People (where I live) say that when they order, “medicine ball” so it’s just a habit for me now lol! But thank you❤️
Karenfromstarbies2 points2y ago
Arent macchiatos made with espresso on top? Even hot?? It have I been building wrong? I’ve been with Starbucks for 6 weeks now
sorrysmithy [OP]3 points2y ago
an espresso macchiato is not like the caramel macchiato. caramel macchiatos get the shots on top, but the espresso macchiato is typically just doppio espresso with a bit of foam
Karenfromstarbies1 points2y ago
I’ve never made one lol! People literally don’t order espresso macchiatos where I live lol
MaralosaKingdom1 points2y ago
I’ve been with Starbucks for 10 months now and I’ve always poured the espresso shots on top. Wouldn’t it not be a macchiato otherwise?
pink_haired_bitch0 points2y ago
Correct and correct. The term “macchiato” in Italian is espresso with a dash of steamed milk, but in Starbucks terminology it means on top so the shot would be poured over the foam. Because of density reasons it doesn’t last there long but that’s how you’re supposed to make it
ibapconflicted2 points2y ago
please reply to this when you have pdfs!!!
Tacoman432 points2y ago
This is beautiful. I almost did something like this on a piece of paper. Wish I had this for my trainees.

ditzyhippie2 points2y ago
ive been working at the Bucks now for 2 months and i feel like im in too deep to ask this, but what’s the difference between a cafe misto and a trad misto?
mxevilknight1 points2y ago
They're the same thing. :) A misto is a café au lait so sometimes people call it café misto.
ditzyhippie2 points2y ago
oh really? i get kind of confused bc i swear the sticker prints out cafe misto or trad misto. or maybe im just trippin but thank you for the clarification :)
Scorpio-Rose2 points2y ago
Please post this! Could print it out for my store!
caelumtenebrae2 points2y ago
This is wonderful! Your future beans are lucky to have you!
elote69-4202 points2y ago
I’ve been making a strawberry lemonade wrong this entire time. I thought it was just strawberry acaí lemonade refresher blended. Like no creme base nor strawberry purée
official_koda_9 points2y ago
I don’t think anyone is ever trained on that drink. I was corrected one time and now I’m one of the few who know how to make it right. It’s rarely ordered though, so people assume it’s the refresher blended.
Tiny-Focus49372 points2y ago
I wish I had seen this earlier! Also, love the graphics you used.
sorrysmithy [OP]3 points2y ago

MargauxWarren1 points10m ago
Is there a finished version of this yet?
Routine-Discussion861 points9m ago
Also wondering
strawberry_sprite_1 points10m ago
i’m pretty sure pump base is last for frappuccinos, otherwise it separates faster is what i was told
Super-Milk-2811 points1y ago
This is a great resource! Would love the PDF for it!
SatanicPisces1 points1y ago
double check me on these but mocha cookie crumble fraps don’t get drizzle in the bottom layer, only whip and cookies (opposite of caramel ribbon crunch)
and espresso fraps still get frap roast
pleaseinsertdisc21 points1y ago
I’m so mad at you…. I was gonna quit but I think this’ll make memorizing drinks a breeze. Idk ugh lol
Clairey_beari1 points1y ago
Omg this is so helpful for me, I started around a month ago and I haven’t gotten to bar yet so this is helpful just in case I forget something
cherib0mbb1 points1y ago
this made me realize ive been making the flat white wrong this whole time. oops.
Carsatan1 points1y ago
This is amazing, I'm new and I'm struggling to remember how many shots and pumps go into everything
Anxiousurca1 points1y ago
i’m literally so concerned that no one can agree on the correct pumps for the iced shaken espresso…
Using the sbux app to check myself for a *regular* Iced Shaken Espresso it is: 3 pumps of classic in a tall / 2 shots 4 pumps of classic in a grande / 3 shorts 6 pumps of classic in a venti / 4 shots
If it’s a brown sugar shaken espresso: 3 half pumps (a cold bev pump) in a tall / 2 blonde 4 half pumps (a cold bev pump) in a grande / 3 blonde 6 half pumps (a cold bev pump) in a venti / 4 blonde shots
ConnorMullin1 points1y ago
Didn’t know Strawberry Creme fraps got classic, this is really helpful thanks!

NJ_Jwards1 points2y ago
Dunno about anyone else but I’ve always put hot water in prior to espresso for Americano beverages, hot water on top of the espresso can produce a sorta burnt taste to the coffee

Hoping you can share a pdf this looks really useful 😅 and side note I didn’t even know the matcha frapp needed pumps of classic
sorrysmithy [OP]2 points2y ago
i found out a few months ago😰
sugartea631 points2y ago
Why does Starbucks Switzerland have different numbers for things?
Coffee_MomSter1 points2y ago
Im a green bean and i really need this in my life. Been working for almost 2months at my store but they never put me on bar ( aside the one day training and 30 mins practice ) I don’t mind working at the cafe, warming and customer support, I don’t complain and honestly i love what I’m doing. But i just wanna learn the bar procedure just incase in the future when they decided to put me there i know what to do and wont mess up. I would really appreciate if you can give me a pdf copy of this. Thank you so much!

xXHacker69Xx1 points2y ago
Awesome! May I ask what you studied then (or than, idk) ?
sorrysmithy [OP]1 points2y ago
i just graduated high school, but have been taking college courses for a few years so just generals and stuff but i’m going into early ed :)
Pheebers7131 points2y ago
I’ll legit pay you for this PM me plz 😭my store is about to lose 10 people by September and training the probably 4 new people we’ll get in the mean time is going to be rough

no need to pay me! i’ll be posting the finished guide with all of the corrections and the rest of the drinks soon under this thread!

Meggilli911 points2y ago
Looks amazing! But I highly recommend adding “short” to all of them. When samples come back you’ll need to know the builds
Doolbeurt1 points2y ago
Just finished my trainer training and I was looking for stuff like this for my first trainee. These look phenomenal!!!
DanUK971 points2y ago
Remember to add to serve with a stirrer for the iced caramel macchiato. The amount of times I’m asked for it 😂
HengroenAndLlamrei4 points2y ago
I don’t get why people do that. Defeats the whole point. Just order a vanilla latte with caramel drizzle.
DanUK971 points2y ago
That’s more expensive 😂
sadilg2 points2y ago
Ask for your barista to make your caramel macchiato upside down! :)💚

This looks really useful. I’m in the process of applying so if I get hired I’ll definitely be using this to help memorize them. I know how to make a lot of the menu at home but I’ve never really paid attention to the exact measurements/recipe that starbucks uses.
