Mocha pumps (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by amazong6
Are y'alls Mocha pumps at the frapp station the half size ones like white Mocha normally is? I just transferred to a new store and was confused when the frapp pump for mocha was half size because we had the full pump one on hot bar and the frapp station at my previous store. The shift said it was cold bar so half pump makes sense but he has only worked with the company since January and no experience at other stores. Help??

Yes cold bar pumps are always half pumps

Whaaa this is news to me

that’s why when we make frapps like pumpkin spice or apple (anything with a full pump) the recipe changes to 1/2/2! Hope this helped

It's supposed to be shorter. Almost all cold bar drinks get the half pumps.

Bruh moment. Makes sense tho

This whole thread has confused the living hell outta me. I need a whole lesson on pumps again

If it's a full pump it's 1-2-2 but the half pumps for fraps are 2-3-4 my store only keeps white mocha on hot bar so we only use 1-2-2 for white mocha but mocha has a cold bar pump as well as pumpkin for us

Fun fact, white mocha frapps actually get full bar pumps. So 2-3-4 full. I learned that after a year of being a barista n just random checking the recipe card

Fairly certain this is incorrect
mcdonaldscokemachine 6 points 1y ago
nope, theres a small little asterisk on the storeresources beverage card that mentions full dose pumps for white mocha frapps, idk why its like that though
BabySteele 3 points 1y ago
Check the recipe yourself

yes the mocha pump at cold bar is half pumps so it’s a shorter pump!! hot bar one is the full pump :)

There's "half dose" pumps and "full dose" pumps. At my store we only have full dose white mocha, in which we do 1/2/2 for frappuccinos, but with the half dose pump (regular) mocha, it would be 2/3/4. Hope this explains stuff lol

It does help. My old store had full dose regular mocha at the frapp station but still told me to do 2/3/4 so I thought that was normal. I guess nobody at that store knows it's wrong.

oops I did not know this at all

I just want to let you know that this person is wrong (which is why people are downvoting them lol). The recipe card is for both mocha and the white mocha frappuccino, and it includes the half dose pumps for the mocha frappuccino, which is probably what confused them.

Licensed store here, we don't have half pumps at all idk what that even means 🤠

Corporate store here, while I do know what it means, we also don’t have half pumps on cold bar 🥴
drinkliquidclocks 2 points 1y ago
I'm not even sure what "cold bar" is 🤔 like the frappucino counter?
amazong6 [OP] 2 points 1y ago
Yeah like frapps and refreshers and stuff
