How do you make decaf frapps? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by kristis3233
How many shots of decaf do you put per size?
SmittyComic 194 points 8m ago
the official recipe is on the iPad under resources.


and it's 1/2/3
new_direction_ 123 points 8m ago
This is correct. I think people often get confused/miscommunications happen because espresso fraps get 1 shot at every size.
gabby24681 22 points 8m ago
I might’ve imagined it but I think they finally made it two for a venti or something
kittykattt3 70 points 8m ago
Thank you for telling me cause I’ve been a partner for 3 years and these people are getting ONE 🫠 two if they’re nice

whoops…
Alien_Exploration 21 points 8m ago
Wait, it’s not 1/2/2?!? This 195 feels like a dummy.
SmittyComic 26 points 8m ago
well, here is a six digit partner, who has done 1/2/2 since they did away with decaf frap base, so forever.


was browsing the beverage resources on the iPad because you ALWAYS learn something new from there. Always shocking how you've made something wrong for so friggin long.
Dietdoctorgender 12 points 8m ago
I think maybe it used to be, because this is how I was originally trained, but the recipe cards say 1/2/3 shots.
Brilliant_List7381 14 points 8m ago
where does it say this? just so i can use as a reference for my store!
SmittyComic 25 points 8m ago
go to the iPad, there is a resource section on beverage building. it has an excel sheet layout that has every shot, pump and basic info that they never bother to put anyplace else that would be helpful....


just wish it popped up when you rang up the drink how it tells you how many pumps of whatever to add.
Brilliant_List7381 7 points 8m ago
thank you!! and yess😭 would be SO MUCH better that way
Ok_Lemon_7159 11 points 8m ago
On recipe cards or in the store resources on the iPad
SmittyComic 9 points 8m ago
it's not under beverages either, so it's super unhelpful if you were looking up a recipe on how to make it. have to go to the building section under there.
vegan-trash 6 points 8m ago
Thank you! I have been gaslit to thinking it’s 1/2/2
SmittyComic 3 points 8m ago
it MIGHT have been an old standard that no one bothered to check in a long time. It's what we remembered forever.
Blocked_ID 3 points 8m ago
Wait my SM just told me 1/1/1 ummm 🤔
dazedandconfusedhere 7 points 8m ago
Check the beverage resource manual! :)
bigfoots-rightnipple 116 points 8m ago
decaf frappe get 1/2/3 shots

but espresso fraps get 1/1/1 and frap roast. Thats where the confusion is.
-Zispy 23 points 8m ago
This is the way
lanastan4everlolz 3 points 8m ago
Just found I’ve been making them wrong 😅
Buxxbarista 53 points 8m ago
I heard it was 1/2/3 because it’s a substitute FOR the frap roast
Buxxbarista -6 points 8m ago
It’s 1 shot, regardless of the size for an esp frap or if they add a shot of esp in the drink
siestasierra 36 points 8m ago
it is 1/1/1 for espresso fraps but decaf fraps are 1/2/3 because there’s no frap roast
neilgreenbreen -6 points 8m ago
Did u just check the recipe card?
Buxxbarista 11 points 8m ago
No, I’m not at work rn lol. But that’s what I’ve always been told because it’s a shot on top of more coffee, like the frap roast. If it’s decaf then you wouldn’t put in the frap roast, which is why it’s a dif amount of shots for dif sizes. That way the coffee to milk ratio stays the same

CREAM IS THE TRUE DECAFFEINATED

JK lol! It’s like everyone else has been mentioning ; 1/2/3 decaf espresso (used to be 1/2/2 a little before I left).
EliMinivan 27 points 8m ago
Put them through the decafinator
Rip-Any 20 points 8m ago
Y’all I’ve been taught decaf is just the cream based one…… where has this been 😭
vhoneyv 5 points 8m ago
SAME
DingleberriesInMyBut 10 points 8m ago
I have been giving these poor people ONE decaf shot in all sizes 😂
Azurelexi 10 points 8m ago
It’s 1,2,3 decaf shots if your substituting it for frap roast to make a decaf frap, for espresso fraps it’s 1,1,1 no matter the size, I looked it up sometime this year to show a coworker in the partner hub but I’m sure you can find it in the store resources app maybe under the beverage resource manual or something
kristis3233 [OP] 6 points 8m ago
I’ve always done 1/2/3, but just heard it’s 1/2/2.
AdamAce3 17 points 8m ago
I think it’s 1/2/3 decaf, no frap roast as standard. That’s what I was taught
Emergency_Ad7655 5 points 8m ago
Im a 169 it has always been 1/2/3 🥴
Ajskdjurj 3 points 8m ago
Aye I’m 169 hired may 2010(first time) rehired 11/2019
kristis3233 [OP] 4 points 8m ago
Thank you for all your feedback!!!
pastelrose7 3 points 8m ago
1/2/3
mondrianna 2 points 8m ago
Make sure to always use cream base with decaf frapps, as the coffee base is also caffinated! In the future frap roast and coffee base will be premixed, but that’s when stores get their updates to cold bar in like 5 years.
coffee_angel801 2 points 8m ago
I believe it's 1 in all sizes for espresso fraps and 1,2,3 for everything else
elote69-420 2 points 8m ago
Do espresso fraps still get frap roast? Do decaf fraps or is it only decaf shots?
catbeetle 2 points 8m ago
How to we charge them? Do we charge a syrup frap with decaf? Or a regular frap with decaf? And put no frap roast? Or do they want frap roast and decaf ???
BadBunnyKy 2 points 8m ago
I know we definitely charge them per shot but I think you just say decaf on the drink (like a “CRCF Decaf” instead of decaf frap, dark caramel, whip bottom,
Carmel drizzle, Carmel crunch toppings).
BelligerentCoroner 3 points 8m ago
We don't charge for the decaf shots because they're just substituting it for frap roast. If they want extra shots then you charge for those.
BadBunnyKy 2 points 8m ago
Really? We have the new computers and they charge people even if we click “sub”. :0
BelligerentCoroner 3 points 8m ago
I don't know anything about the new computers, but just pushing the decaf button means that the recipe is changed from 2/3/4 pumps fr to 1/2/3 shots. If you start typing in the shots into the computer system, it will charge for them because it registers that as extra shots.
acnh1222 1 points 8m ago
First off, I ask if they want no coffee or decaf coffee, because I’ve had so many people say “decaf” but mean “no coffee” and then be like “I said I didn’t want coffee in this!!!”
R-etr0 1 points 8m ago
in latam 1/2/2
lolopie3333 1 points 8m ago
don't they only have shots if it's an esp frapp?
[deleted] 1 points 8m ago
[removed]
linseeded -2 points 8m ago
Just one regardless is what I was told tho idk if it’s standard
Minimum_Salary_6319 2 points 8m ago
so i guess we’re quite wrong.. but that’s what my store does too
neilgreenbreen -17 points 8m ago
1 shot decaf regardless of size, no frapp roast, coffee base
AdamAce3 9 points 8m ago
I believe it’s 1/2/3 is decaf no frap roast is the standard
neilgreenbreen -12 points 8m ago
I could be wrong but fairly certain espresso and decaf frapps are 1/1/1 counterintuitive though it may be
AdamAce3 14 points 8m ago
Espresso it’s definitely 1/1/1, but since the decaf is a substitute for the frap roast.. I was taught it was 1/2/3 for decaf shots
