i wish cold foam would go bye bye (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by canidieyet_
anyways i was on bar my entire 6.5 hour shift and we were short staffed, every single drink had cold foam on it (yes even hot ones & fraps…i think someone even ordered a hot tea with nonfat cold foam) and i’m ✨ over it ✨ and wish our blenders would break once and for all
all i’m saying is if i ever open my own coffee shop blended drinks, cold foams, and excessive modifications will not be a thing <3

Yeah we’re getting a lot of iced chais with pumpkin foam and I’m astonished that people managed to make the easiest drink a little more difficult😀

Bruh I got you one worse. All day long I was forced to make Iced chais with vanilla, vsccf, add matcha to foam. Must’ve come out on tiktok last night!

I can't do an iced chai tea latte with cold foam. to me it's better without it.

i tried the iced chai with pumpkin because it’s so popular i thought it would be good. it was probably the nastiest thing i’ve ever had tbh

I drew the line when someone asked for pumpkin and vanilla foams swirled on top of their drink. Not layered, specifically swirled. Hell no

at that point it’s not even about taste, just to look pretty

When customers ask for any customization that's purely aesthetic I wish I could just say fuck off 😫

only exception is extra caramel drizzle, I know it doesn't affect the taste pretty much at all (if it's a drink with caramel syrup already in it) but it's so pretty I do it on my own drinks

I’m honestly such a hypocrite like I hate customers getting cold foam and extra caramel drizzle but like I do it tooooo
I even put dark caramel in my cold foam; but also I hate when other people get these things
to be fair to myself tho I only do extra caramel in iced drinks like a macchiato because it does make a difference

We had this today and they got annoyed when we stared at them like they were insane and said no.

ngl it's ruining my enjoyment of bar. i was put on warming for a shift and despite being slammed constantly, it felt less stressful than bar. and i realized why afterwards: i didnt have to constantly step away from my station to throw another cold foam in the blender.
canidieyet_ [OP] 23 points 1y ago
same! i love bar, cold bar especially. it just gets old so fast when every single sticker i get says “vanilla sweet cream foam” “pumpkin foam” “salted crml foam” or i hear “can i get (names off 4 different foams at once)” from both bar partners at once.
it doesn’t even taste that good, imo. the salted foam w/o caramel is good but jeez. you can survive with a drink that doesn’t have foam

i heard the foam in the hot drinks just causes a breeding ground for bacteria from my shift but i’m just the barista so what do i know here’s ur hot caramel macchiato with pccf🧍♀️☕️
NervosaNervous 16 points 1y ago
If that were true, we wouldn’t be able to put whipped cream on hot drinks either.

I worked at a place that sold Starbucks products on a university campus like 17 years ago. People wanted hot foam on their cold Frappuccino but we couldn’t because of mixing hot and cold milk.
Because of the danger zone.

i’ve heard the same!! but my sm insists it’s fine so 🤷♀️

Ok, yes, BUT the way nonfat cold foam pours out is satisfying as hell
canidieyet_ [OP] 6 points 1y ago
it really is !!! it’s definitely my favorite foam to make out of the bunch
Vegetable-Rain7652 6 points 1y ago
AAAAAAAAH. I feel you. Honestly, the sweet cream-based cold foams are completely vile and I don’t understand why people want them on EVERYTHING. Tried to drink a pumpkin cream cold brew when they were first introduced and that nasty foam made me wanna hurl!
uwumoment 2 points 1y ago
ngl it was soooo good before it was introduced and our shift was making shots of the pumpkin cream cold brew for us, but now it’s SOOO nasty and i can barely stand it

sometimes i "prep" cold foams by sticking them in a tall cup and putting them in fridge lmao

If you open your own shop it would be crazy to not have those items as they are higher margin. Starbucks makes a lot of money from those items so they won't be going away anytime soon.

Some lady ordered Sarl with vsccf today.Hope she enjoyed her curdled milk.

I feel like even once I quit starbucks, the foam will always haunt me..

Eh, I like it. I don't mind making it, doesn't really mess up my sequence style.
