      Efficiency? Spent so much time taring the portafilter from the scale for each order. Instead of using the Tare function of the scale she could “zero” the scale with the portafilter on it once. Then and the grinds. It’s not like we are in an organic chem class here and need to be accurate down to the microgram. There was a ton of time wasted so it really is not efficient. But she does work hard and is consistent. Managers really need to get their heads out of … you know.

      Hi can you help me decide on an espresso machine please??? You seem to know your stuff! I want to buy one for my daughter who used to work at Starbucks and she loves her coffee. Would you be okay with doing everything manually like weighing your coffee and using a thermometer. Or would you want a machine that helps a bit by giving you a perfect dose of coffee. Also helps with by steaming the milk for you if you want and has a built in thermometer. Basically I’m choosing between Breville Barista Express, Breville Barista Touch Express, and Breville Barista Touch IMPRESS. If Baristas prefer manual stuff might as well go with the lower price.

You kept your calm and just got through it, quick, clean and precise and you were damn polite to people as well. Cheers dude, I'd buy you your own Coffee to enjoy after the rush was over if I'd been there

      WOAH what are the chances I'd stumble onto this comment. I have dyspraxia too and I'm an absolute ditz doing anything hands-on for the most part but I'm a barista myself. I'll say it was a hell of a learning journey, doing latte art and the like is still a struggle sometimes but I absolutely love the job. Not even a massive coffee drinker but I found the step-by-step nature and repetition of making coffee made learning and getting better at it really easy and eventually my co-ordination caught up. Maybe give it a try someday, won't know until you do if it might be for you!
      And piling on to the love for the creator I'm absolutely floored at how effortless you make every aspect of this job look while under stress and making damn good coffee while you do it, props to ya mate.

    i did a little bit of barista work when i worked at mcdonald's, and that was so fun but so stressful. i eventually quit because the workload was so much, we had hardly any staff, and the staff we did have would yell at me for the stupidest things. they would also pressure me into working overtime. i worked 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, sometimes 10. i would get 3 hours or so sleep each night. so grateful i had that work experience, but i wouldn't go back in a heartbeat.
