iced coffee no classic, quick and fast and no pumping
RyanLegit2639 points1y ago
Also is the fastest method of pouring, beats the water out because the spouts take their sweet time.

Iced chai lattes

Iced chai latte.
Easy to work into a good routine, sequencing it is easy peasy
Royal_Development_25 [OP]26 points1y ago
I love the iced chai latte 😋

You are our favorite customer ❤️ seriously one time during a busy rush on bar by myself lol told this girl like hey thanks for ordering that you made ny night. And she was like really?!?? I always order that when the bar person is struggling. There truly are kind thoughtful people 🥺❤️
W33dprinxess3 points1y ago
This because my iced coffee is at the other end of the bar. Far away. Chai is right there with the milk and then run down or pass for ice. Lid. Boom done.
Frosty-Shelter7372103 points1y ago
I like black americano’s, iced or hot chai, and waters ;)
My favorite thing to make is a flat white though
acnh122240 points1y ago
The only thing that makes black americanos and hot chai difficult (more time consuming than difficult) for me is that the hot water we use is near the brewed coffee so I have to walk over there, and when it’s crowded behind the bar I go slowly to avoid accidentally bumping into someone.
There technically is a hot water spout near the bar but one of my coworkers said that sometimes the water that comes out of there smells a bit funky so he stopped using it. Other people still do out of convenience but I stopped as well.
arcanalalune24 points1y ago
An ssv should probably call that in if there are still coworkers that use it.
Efficient-Ad62354 points1y ago
Technically any barista can call anything in. It does not have to be a shift. I have baristas call things in for my store all the time because half the time my shifts or I are too busy doing things that a barista isn't aloud to do. It supports a lot.
arcanalalune2 points1y ago
Oh hm. I didn't know that. It always seemed like one of those things that was SSV or higher. Either way, I think the spout should be called in by somebody.
Sarahthelizard15 points1y ago
The tap on bar at my store is slow af
devinboyd9812 points1y ago
Our bar tap is like 50/50 whether the water coming out is hot or room temp and it’s slow af so we just use the one by the brewing station too. It’s a huge pain in the ass during rush
Ensey46 points1y ago
A barista can put a ticket in for anything wrong with a store also, not just a shift.
canidieyet_6 points1y ago
i refuse to use the hot water tap on the bar because it splashes everywhere. literally no matter what you do you get splashed with boiling hot water, so i just use the cofffe water tap
clumsycalico13 points1y ago
Here’s a cool flat white trick I learned: if you let the shots pour down the inside of the cup instead of straight down the middle so it hits the bottom, it will be a lot smoother and less bubbles! I hate flat whites when I’m busy but I do love them when I actually have time to make them nicely.
Bryancreates7 points1y ago
Yup, angle the cup against the back of the machine. Not sure if that’s possible with the newer ones I never got to use it. But it’s a smoother pour with no bubbles for sure.
Phoenix-19736 points1y ago
My store has the new machines and I def do that. LOVE a smooth FW
clumsycalico3 points1y ago
OH MY GOSH THANK YOU!! I normally only do this when I can babysit it but I can totally make it work this way. That is so galaxy brain
MiaLba1 points1y ago
What exactly is a flat white ? I’m just a customer I’m curious lol
clumsycalico3 points1y ago
This is for Starbs only, idk how other places make theirs.
It comes with ristretto shots, with an extra from what the size would normally have, made with whole milk instead of 2%. The idea is that it should be totally “flat”, so have a really even microfoam and no bigger or uneven bubbles. Ristretto is regular ol espresso but pulled with a different amount of water so it tastes a little different.
richayy4208 points1y ago
Hot water takes too long, venti americanos take too long to pull shoots too! It’s sure easy but not easiest for me
ladyelenawf33 points1y ago
I'm not even a barista and I can make it : water.
NontrivialZeros9 points1y ago
Hot and iced? Legend
sofso30 points1y ago
pike place. because i (the barista on bar) don't have to lift a finger - someone else grabs it!
drinkliquidclocks29 points1y ago
Hot lattes- other than waiting for the milk to steam, it's my favorite and easiest. It's easier than iced because I don't have to run over to the ice bin.
fannytraggot40 points1y ago
yeah I actually enjoy aerating the milk. I swear to God sometimes that "paper tearing" sound is better than sex
boopsbittie24 points1y ago
I love sequencing iced caramel macchiatos idk why, has a few more steps than others but really quick too
Fantastic13572 points1y ago
I think it’s because u can pull the shots and then get everything else for the drink done while it’s pulling, then you throw the shots in do some caramel drizzle and bam you’re done! I like making them too :)
jeanyette24 points1y ago

silentwhisperer14846 points1y ago
Something about the sound the nitro makes when I pull down the tap. The little “pshhh”. Hell yeah.

does that get ice?

nope just coffee:)
peanutbutterbarbie4 points1y ago
ahhh i’m a green bean and the cb/ncb drinks always confuse me on which ones get ice or not
bigghostb00ty11 points1y ago
N is for nitro and also for no. So no ice in nitro. I have lots of little weird mental tricks to remember that stuff, lol.
Old_Obligation_79617 points1y ago
me too! ive just been lucky to get a really good store so my training was super thorough! but regular cb does get ice and nitro doesn’t incase you wanted that clarification:)
FfierceLaw5 points1y ago
Just think that you don’t want to disrupt the path of the bubbles in nitro with a lot of ice rocks (or syrups, sauces, creams or foams imho)
ProfessionallyMessy13 points1y ago
Venti emonade. It's also the drink I order on break. Refreshing and easy

controversial: flat whites. you get to press more buttons AND get the satisfaction of a little circle on top while it’s literally just a latte. love.

decaffeinated-turtle5 points1y ago
Any of the iced teas! just pouring the base and water/lemonade, ice, shakey shake and bam! no default pumps, no waiting for shots to pull, no finding the right milk, no ‘this was supposed to be iced,’ no thoughts, just shaking 😌

As they come: the lattes. Iced or hot are both pretty easy.
As I’ve seen a customer modify: we get a couple people who want an iced tea no water no ice. Just a straight cup of the tea
Not at the bar: black drip coffee
Smart aleck response: cup of water no ice. My store even has a touch free water fountain and we are encouraged to direct the customers there instead of filling the cups ourselves. When someone asks for a cup of water, no ice, we literally just hand them a cup and lid.
