If you use a shaken espresso syrup for a different drink (ex. Brown sugar in a latte), do you double up on the pumps? No one I know does it but it’s been on my mind lately bc I think maybe ur supposed to?

yes, the standard is that you use the number of pumps that would equal the standard for the drink in question.
3 vanilla in a shaken espresso = 3 half pumps = 1.5 regular pumps.
2 brown sugar in a white mocha = 2 full pumps = 4 half pumps.

This is it. It was ambiguous for a long time but they finally announced the standard with the release of the barista craft training - it's now in the beverage resource manual.

Ok thanks y’all, we did the craft training at the licensed store I work at but they didn’t mention it, I’ll probably bring it up to my manager bc there’s a lot of ambiguity when it comes to syrup, for example I was flipping through the recipe cards for fun and noticed the standard is that iced tea get half pumps of syrup, something that ppl don’t do, probably bc they don’t know.

good rule of thumb is that if it goes into a blender or into a shaker it gets half pumps

Except strawberry/matcha cream fraps

Strawberry gets half pumps matcha gets full
MagazineAware30121 points10m ago
Nope. Nothing with classic on cold bar gets half pumps

my manager told us during the craft training that it would get double, that being said i’m usually going too fast to do it so i don’t lol

Yes double the pumps if it’s half pumps for a standard drink unless the customer is hawk eyeing me then I just do regular to avoid explaining to them.
