Recipe question? Scoops in drinks (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by SpicyRamenQueen
Me and my co workers are having a dilemma. Me (ssv) and a green bean, a week out of training, both eerie tops you’re not supposed to level scoops out with anything. That’s why it’s called a “starbucks scoop” when you do a pour over and not just a “scoop”. Same thing with like Matcha, malt powder, vanilla bean, those sort of things. But an experienced barista believes it’s supposed to be leveled out? like scrape it flat, like if you were scrapping flour flat for baking. We can’t find anywhere what the standard is, and we were all trained by different people at different times? Is there a standard? What do y’all think or do?

Coffee scoops for pour overs should be level because it’s important to get the right proportion of coffee to water

Powder scoops should be lightly rounded because that’s what it says on the recipe cards

dang i didn’t even see that on the recipe cards! but for the pour over thing that does make sense for the like perfect coffee consistency and flavor

Leveling it would be a more consistent drink so I’m team level. The brown containers have half lids to make it easy.

damn y’all have those still :,( my old store had those but we just have round clear containers now. And you’re right leveling it would make it more consistent but it doesn’t say that specifically on cards. lol me and my co workers are beefing over it
