we don't lol 😂

My store doesn't really do coffee tastings. But I'm doing the coffee master program so I want start hosting it at my store. I just need to figure out how to do it lol

Lol we just get whatever is brewed that day

Since I work for a licensed store, our kiosk also has to follow the grocery store’s rules for sampling. So when we have the staffing and time to sample, we’ll assign a barista and they’ll decide what drink and what food item to pair it with, then they’ll put them on a sampling tray and walk around the store. Today, we did a Casi Cielo iced pour over with samples of the lemon pound cake and lemme tell you it was a whole Ratatouille-Remy-discovering-cheese-and-strawberries moment LMAO

Where did those double walled cups come from, op? I like em

when I first got hired my manager did a coffee tasting for myself and another new hire. we had black pike’s place in tall cups and a warm chocolate chip cookie. it was pretty good.

For sit down meetings we pick one person in advance of the meeting to decide on a coffee/brew method/food and serve it in short cups bc we don’t have for here ware at our store. If I’m not completely overwhelmed I’ll make stuff and put it out for ppl to grab when they get a sec in their shift bc I’m tryna do coffee master and I have to taste all the things in all the methods. I’m a nerd so one time I brought my aeropress from home, sanitized it in store, and made a tasting of Guatemala Antigua & that was a big hit.

I’d love to get for-here cups tbh bc using all those short cups seems wasteful. Maybe I’ll ask my SM if I can add them to our Nashville order.

i like to do pour overs with my trainees.

i don't 🖤 our coffee is shit 😌

(also we're way too busy and have zero time. slow cafe stores are in a different universe tbh.)

When I did coffee tasting with a supervisor , he’d pick a dark roast off the shelf, get the French press to brew, and grab a pastry that compliments the coffee notes etc. First we taste the coffee by itself and describe. Then he say to take a bite of the pastry then let the coffee flow in to Describe.

Reluctantly 😅

we always use the reserve roasts bc we bougie. the only roasts at sbux i’ve had that tastes good were reserve.

Not with Italian! That's how.


Also we have a clover so I know that's cheating, but I do a tasting every time we get new beans. We get the reserve beans for the clover too so <3.

when theres some slower time ive been trying to do more! ask around and see whos interested, do a large pour over and split between and then slice the pairing to go with it (usually all in sample cups or tall cups if we dont have em). then ill go through and ask everyone for their input on each factor, finishing off with the input with the pairing

We brew whatever we want (pour over or already brewed) then put the coffee in short cups, my store has cupcake/muffin holders for the food or you can use napkins and put everything on a round tray!

Sm have a print out for coffee tasting or you can search it in partner hub

It all taste like shit.
