can someone explain in good detail the coffee brewing cadence? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by i-amthebreadman
i’ve been at starbucks for about 4 months and i still don’t fully understand the brewing cadence, no ones really explained it to me further than “timer goes off, brew coffee and reset timer”
do you reset the timer before or after you brew the coffee?
what order are you supposed to brew the coffee in? i’ve been doing pink first but i don’t know for sure
how do you brew all the coffees when there’s only 2 coffee brewers? we have two pots of pike and then a dark and blond. am i supposed to spend like 10 minutes to brew all 4 every cycle? someone explained to me for afternoons when there’s just pike to alternate which pot you dump and refill instead of refilling both every time. but how do you handle that in mornings when there’s one dark and one blond?

So the timer gets set differently based on how many coffees you’re brewing, and you only brew one coffee each time the timer goes off. This keeps one brewer available in case you need to make iced coffee backups or a traveler
As far as starting the timer before or after, i don’t think it really matters, but I think technically it’s supposed to be before
Order doesn’t really matter either as long as you’re consistent.
So if you’re doing three coffees , you’ll set the timer for 10 minutes. When it first goes off, you’ll brew pike. Then, you’ll do other stuff and when it goes off again you’ll brew blonde. then again with dark. Then you’re back to pike in the 30 min time frame.

Only brewing one every cycle makes so much more sense. I can’t believe people saw me brewing multiple per cycle and didn’t tell me not to do that. or that when it was being explained no one mentioned to only brew 1. well thank you for finally being the person who explains it to me

When I have questions about this the SM and SSV (in two different instances) referred me to Batch Guidance on the iPad which suggests to me that they do not really know either. Batch guidance also keeps track of when you quit brewing blonde and dark and switch to only Pike every 30 minutes. But before you dump the blonde and dark, grind some along with some decaf to use for pour overs and mark and date the containers
