OMG!!!! ❤ is this why i like watching the video? it popped up on my feed, caught my attention & stayed for the nostalgic feeling you described. despite it being a busy lunch rush, this in my opinion is very calming.
I didn’t expect it to be as stressful though- I mean papas pizzeria was 5 orders and by the time the third order came around I used to start panicking and messing things up
Also i have respect for the guy, its just that this doesent really qualify as a rush, good on him for managing everything smoothly, but I wouldnt even say any of this was stressful and wasnt anything close to a rush, just a couple peeps wondering in that werent even served super effectivly
@@bryanroberts7703you have to take in that he is on his own, which is difficult in the first place, and he had to do multiple orders at a time at one point in the video- which is very difficult alone as being efficient with your time is very key in those moments- taking too long will upset customers. i think youre underestimating the situation
in my opinion, the worst part about being a barista is having to carry a full cup of coffee without spilling it. it so fucking hard if you have naturally shaky hands like i do
@@Skyblue-bq6ev definitely not bro. in PL for example, some people would go out of their way to ruin his mood just because he looks "too relaxed", literally. i didn't work in starbucks particularly, but it did happen to me a lot as a cashier - someone would literally say something along the lines of "why are you so relaxed? don't you see how many people are in the line???!". maybe in starbucks customers are generally nicer. they came to just have a coffee after all:D
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.

@@mariocota27you sounds so passionate about a small mistakes that he made. I don't think any human being can keep up or consistent on work with busyness, working alone and to make sure everything cleaned up. I'm not saying cleaning is hard but to maintain it cleaned, it's nearly impossible. Imagine ourselves work in busy cafeteria, non-stop orders and working all alone day and night.

@@panosfasoul699 good point but for me I always wanted to make sure no queueing or customer in front of my counter then I can do all cleaning stuff. But I don't wanna argue even further because we're not going anywhere with this conversation. So let's move on
You are an absolute rockstar. Not only are you great at working solo, but while you’re working on someone’s order, your chatting with the next customer and aren’t slowing down or getting confused at what you’re currently working on. Not to mention you’re so kind and friendly
as someone who was a standard barista before becoming a starbies barista, watching your performance makes me miss the days where i was making drinks to this standard. now its just pressing buttons and making whatever colorful mess starbucks releases. keep up the fantastic work, you’re making a bootleg barista like me very proud
It's nice that you have thermometer. I've been learning how to make coffee for 4 days, and during this time I burned my hand twice😭. On the other hand, thanks to this, I have already learned how to make milk elastic
Being a software engineer myself, I often get that urge to do something physical with my hands. Watching you mastering your craft really is a kind of meditative experience for me. I love it !
From one solo barista to another, I'm amazed by how well you work even during a rush. Also, coming from a small local coffee shop, seeing some of the exact same items but also with high tech coffee stuff makes me happy.
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.
@@dreadreyaI mean if she works at Starbucks I think she’d prefer not having to do her same routine for work at home, I Cook l, and sometimes I like to cook at home n sometimes I don’t depends on the day tbh ik it’s diff but I’d say go w both options or jus the one that provides the measured amount 🤣
this video helps me feel calmer before going to work; I feel like it's like a warm-up or something. Watching him do the same repetitive actions over and over again and being in that flow makes it easier for me lol
I greatly admire and respect all of you food service professionals. It's truly impressive how you handle each customer's orders with efficiency and maintain a sense of order, while also ensuring the meals are beautifully prepared and served in the right sequence.
It's ironically so therapeutic to watch... I know how stressful barista work can be and I personally cannot handle hospo but you make it look mega easy. Seeing you get into the zone and the flow of going from order to order is mesmerising! Those dusting hand claps in-between actions, too 👏 just extra satisfying. Amazing work, my dude ☕
i’m a barista and i have work in 7 hours but i’m enjoying watching this process, it’s almost relaxing when i don’t have to think and i can just watch. i’m also learning a little bit about actual manual espresso machines and not the kind that just does all the work for you, you’re clearly VERY smart with coffee and i just know that latte texture is perfect
I worked at Costa Coffee for a few months, and it didn't suit me at all. I felt incredibly overwhelmed and stressed. Watching this makes me really anxious because I feel like I would be absolutely panicking in that situation. But after 10 mins or so of watching you, it is really calming and almost empowering... I feel like I've been on a spiritual journey watching you work haha
@@MrKeyalisit’s not about making one coffee tho it’s about having to make many in such little time trying to make no mistakes and dealing with rude customers
I love how you gave the gentleman the extra few stamps for being a regular. I have been a regular at the location I go to and they had me start from the beginning. Not sure if there is a rule for some places on doing that though. That was great customer service there.
My regular place would give you a free drink at the end of each card, but I went so frequently (daily) that they started asking if that's the "normal size I get" and then they changed it from a free drink to a discounted drink. Lol
Man this brought me back. I didn't have a lot of love for hospitality when I worked it, but now I'm away I have some aspects of it I look back fondly on. A bit of kindness from customers never failed to boost my energy on a stressful day.
I recently started a new career path after having been in the coffee industry for 4 years, as a barista, cafe manager, and consultant. I love my new job but I miss the barista flow. This popped up on my feed and I had it going on one screen while working on the other. You handled yourself great and looked like you were having fun even though it was a bit stressful! Thanks for the vid!
Brother, I worked 9 and a half months at a Stewart's, I know the pain of solo working during a lunch rush. 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
I appreciate videos like this because it gives me a snapshot of the kinds of stresses everyone has in their own jobs. This video is just another example of why we should practice empathy and patience. Thanks for sharing this with us!
As someone who is a bartender/barista at my work. Your efficiency and politeness with the guests are absolutely fantastic. You have a great attitude and people SERIOUSLY appreciate it without even having to say anything. Your latte art is absolutely amazing, and effortless 😤💯
I know that feel when you're stretched thin all too well working in an understaffed cafe myself, yet you still present and serve the coffees beautifully and took your time while also being efficient! That's a job well done at the end of the day.
I can literally watch this as a background white noise environment. Very stressful for you but relaxing for me just to be virtually in that setting versus a rough side of town. Great video for reflection and positivity.
Timing to absolute perfection at 12:50 mug with water under placed right as the coffee started flowing, while mid conversation. Underrated skills right there
After I got out of the food service industry I swore I would never go back, yet here I am watching you with a sense of nostalgia for when I was one manning the ice cream store I worked at through High School.
I never would’ve known that watching a barista doing an absolutely amazing job would be so satisfying to watch if not for this video. I would love it if you were to make such a video again!
I've spent the last 30 odd minutes living through your POV and feeling like i don't have raging terrible dyspraxia and I could actually work in a job like this. Props! Efficient and natrually decisive movement. There is a craft in everything and you're a master of yours.
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.
The amount you get done in under 10 minutes is insane. When you got to the register the first time, I thought it was much longer because of how much you got done up to that point. And the atmosphere was so pleasant, with everyone so understanding. I'm glad you didn't have a drive thru to manage too, like some other coffee places 🤣
I would be absolutely covered in coffee stains if I was in your position, I worked a coffee stand at a large Sydney coffee festival (first time making coffee with a proper machine rather than a stovetop cafetiera) and by the end of the day my light grey jeans had a strong resemblance to a holstein cow ahaha
wow your work flow around the machine is incredible! love steaming the empty milk bottles, super satisfying to squish. the way you interact with the customers is so great :)
Its hard to explain to my loved ones how much I can find peace in chaos or in busy moments but these video sums up really how i feel , it just gives me calmness, cheers mate ! Keep up to good work, I respect you so much !
This video actually made me decide what i'll do when i quit my job. Seems like a hardworking but very calming and peaceful routine. Just what my mind and body needs
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. edit: forgot to say i was 18 at the time, and this was my first job.
im starting my first shift as a barista today.. really nervous but this is making me excited lol, ive worked in a bakery before and know some hours can become really really stressfull, the way your so calm yet so efficient and quick with your work really amazes me.
Oh my word! I have a great home setup and struggle to get a flat white right if my wife is asking me questions. You seem un-rushed with all that going on, and have time to be so polite to guests. Huge respect 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That’s why there are grind by weight grinders in the market. It grinds the amount of ground you input. He should get GBW and auto tamping machine. That’s 2 step process! Very efficient that way!
i'm not a barista but you are really comforting to watch!! i really wanna try being a barista sometime as it looks really fun, and i love the art of making designs in the coffee. also i really admire how easily you are able to talk to customers, you sound so laid back. this video is so relaxing- not really for you haha but you are so efficient and handle everything with such familiarity and ease. i dont know what it is but this video really grabs my attention and soothes me. thank u for posting it's really cool to see your amazing work!! ❤️
Great work my man. I have to do pizza solo sometimes. I run Mondays open to close and I usually end up calling one other person for backup during dinner rush. Lunch rush ain't bad. I can handle it solo. Serving slices and making pizzas start to finish while making sure customers aren't waiting too long is definitely stressful work, but super rewarding.
Worked at a modern coffee shop for almost 3 years as my second job and loved it. This brings back so many memories. Wouldn’t go back, but love to just watch these videos
This is hypnotizing. I just got a Breville espresso machine and now I appreciate even more your work, the incredible attention to detail pays off, it makes a real difference in the end. Your customers are lucky!
This was really satisfying but also stressful to know what it feels like in that situation. I've only had one experience in a cafe job that didn't last very long and they expect you to start off like this. No mistakes. Absolute perfection when you're just starting out and then having to deal with arrogant customers is the cherry on top.
Hey there! I just found your channel today and I must say, you are a great barista on your own! You work so hard and I'm very proud of you, keep up the great work! ☕
this is making me nostalgic for my barista days. i really loved your efficiency! you handled being a solo barista during a rush better than i did. we didn't have those built in washers for the jugs so if i couldn't run to the sink (which was in a room behind the counter) my counter was looking a mess! love your set up!!
watching this i thought being a barista would be something i could do, then i saw the swirls with the cream and made me realize how i probably wouldn't. Keep up the work! ❤
id love more videos like this. such a comfy vibe, I love watching the rhythmic and artistic process you go through, and you deal with customers so well. also my only experience with coffee making is in a VR game, so it was fun seeing the real life of it
I'm so sorry but I didn't see anyone else point this out - at 5:16 a piece of foil from the milk jug goes into the milk, and at 6:47 it's poured into the takeaway cup 🥲 still looks delicious, though! amazing job ❤
No way this guy fingers the top of the milk foil like that, poking his hand inside, yet wastes time on 0.1g of coffee in the espresso. This video kinda highlights how bullshit some of coffee/barista culture is tbh! 😅
Honestly I really really enjoyed this video. I used to work in a cafe and I'd always watch them make the drinks. I'm fixing to go to college and I want to work as a barista
listening to the customers have patience and calm demeanors is such a change of pace for my ears

After I got out of the food service industry I swore I would never go back, yet here I am watching you with a sense of nostalgia for when I was one manning the ice cream store I worked at through High School.
I love that pat on the coffee after weighing to settle it, and I love the constant hand swipes. It's so satisfying
I never would’ve known that watching a barista doing an absolutely amazing job would be so satisfying to watch if not for this video.
I would love it if you were to make such a video again!
Mad respect for this man. The fact that this man is out there working this hard and being this kind in the middle of it is so encouraging.
Damn man baristas are so underrated for their work
Respect💥
I've spent the last 30 odd minutes living through your POV and feeling like i don't have raging terrible dyspraxia and I could actually work in a job like this.
Props! Efficient and natrually decisive movement. There is a craft in everything and you're a master of yours.
Thanks mate!
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.
@@Themegaminnies Do you have ADHD as well by any chance? I also get overwhelmed and start messing up quite basic instructions pretty often haha
@@Themegaminniessame here!!! i spill a lot of drinks but i’ve also been able to develop my motor skills quite a bit and i really love the job
I have dyspraxia and just started a job that requires barista training and finding it HARD 😭. Watching this video to give myself tips
wow your ability to entertain engaging conversation while working fast and steady is so impressive!
Best part of the job!
As a part time newbie at a tea shop I can feel your stress but you are so cool.
It will definitely get better! I love it when you get used to it and are in a flow state
The amount you get done in under 10 minutes is insane. When you got to the register the first time, I thought it was much longer because of how much you got done up to that point. And the atmosphere was so pleasant, with everyone so understanding. I'm glad you didn't have a drive thru to manage too, like some other coffee places 🤣
As a solo attendant in a McDonald's coffee i definitely feel you. Thanks for the pov make me feel less lonely
I must say, watching your work is really relaxing
Thanks mate!
You're so calming to watch! You have a great way with customers and are so efficient with getting orders out.
I would be absolutely covered in coffee stains if I was in your position, I worked a coffee stand at a large Sydney coffee festival (first time making coffee with a proper machine rather than a stovetop cafetiera) and by the end of the day my light grey jeans had a strong resemblance to a holstein cow ahaha
wow your work flow around the machine is incredible! love steaming the empty milk bottles, super satisfying to squish. the way you interact with the customers is so great :)
Wow what great pacing and charisma with the customers. I’m sure he’s just an absolute pleasure to have in the cafe, what a sweetheart
This video legit makes me respect baristas so much more and this guy is so humble kind friendly and hardworking… he’s such a gem 💎
Its hard to explain to my loved ones how much I can find peace in chaos or in busy moments but these video sums up really how i feel , it just gives me calmness, cheers mate ! Keep up to good work, I respect you so much !
Connor please make more videos like this, longer next time I loovvee it
Will do my best! I know people are really enjoying the long form content
Such a humble and kind soul. This video feltlike therapy to my mind.
from one barista to another - huge respect, great job! 💪🏻
This video actually made me decide what i'll do when i quit my job. Seems like a hardworking but very calming and peaceful routine. Just what my mind and body needs
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.
edit: forgot to say i was 18 at the time, and this was my first job.
im starting my first shift as a barista today.. really nervous but this is making me excited lol, ive worked in a bakery before and know some hours can become really really stressfull, the way your so calm yet so efficient and quick with your work really amazes me.
I hope it's going well :)
I hope everything went well
How was it?
How are you doing two weeks in?
Hope big man’s doin okay
Woah - that looks really stressful. Respect. You are doing a great job! I send you strength. Love from Germany.
Thanks mate! Where abouts? I was born in Bielefeld!
@@ConnorDoesCoffee Oh das ist eine Überraschung. Ich komme aus Hannover, Niedersachsen 😁
6:47 extra hot flat white gets a little extra paper from the milk jug lid too.
Oh my word! I have a great home setup and struggle to get a flat white right if my wife is asking me questions. You seem un-rushed with all that going on, and have time to be so polite to guests. Huge respect 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The constant adjusting of the 17,9 or 18,1 to 18 would drive me insane
With practice you'd have no trouble eye baling it
That’s why there are grind by weight grinders in the market. It grinds the amount of ground you input. He should get GBW and auto tamping machine. That’s 2 step process! Very efficient that way!
i'm not a barista but you are really comforting to watch!! i really wanna try being a barista sometime as it looks really fun, and i love the art of making designs in the coffee. also i really admire how easily you are able to talk to customers, you sound so laid back. this video is so relaxing- not really for you haha but you are so efficient and handle everything with such familiarity and ease. i dont know what it is but this video really grabs my attention and soothes me. thank u for posting it's really cool to see your amazing work!! ❤️
I like to watch people go to work while i'm procrastinating for 27 years
Great work my man.
I have to do pizza solo sometimes. I run Mondays open to close and I usually end up calling one other person for backup during dinner rush. Lunch rush ain't bad. I can handle it solo. Serving slices and making pizzas start to finish while making sure customers aren't waiting too long is definitely stressful work, but super rewarding.
Nice mate! Credit to you I love pizza. There’s something so special about delivering perfect service and seeing how it can lift people.
I new at this job, watching your videos help me alot on what to do, what to focus on. And after a month, I getting better, thanks alot
I love how well you work and how polite the customers are!
Amazing how you can see the muscle memory and skill in it. As home barista, big props to you dude
Ok, this video made me realise how much effort is put into serving people and you master it. Congrats man. Huge respect!
yea..the coffee that he served aint gonna be that good
Thanks!
Worked at a modern coffee shop for almost 3 years as my second job and loved it. This brings back so many memories. Wouldn’t go back, but love to just watch these videos
This was so entertaining and therapeutic to watch
Finally someone understanding the short form "Pov"
bro the world holds on people like you :),keep it going your work is much appreciated
This is hypnotizing. I just got a Breville espresso machine and now I appreciate even more your work, the incredible attention to detail pays off, it makes a real difference in the end. Your customers are lucky!
This was really satisfying but also stressful to know what it feels like in that situation. I've only had one experience in a cafe job that didn't last very long and they expect you to start off like this. No mistakes. Absolute perfection when you're just starting out and then having to deal with arrogant customers is the cherry on top.
I love customers who are understanding and are willing to wait for you to finish what you are doing.
Hey there! I just found your channel today and I must say, you are a great barista on your own! You work so hard and I'm very proud of you, keep up the great work! ☕
this is making me nostalgic for my barista days. i really loved your efficiency! you handled being a solo barista during a rush better than i did. we didn't have those built in washers for the jugs so if i couldn't run to the sink (which was in a room behind the counter) my counter was looking a mess! love your set up!!
Damn, bro, I think you've just pulled a WR any% in solo barista lunch rushes, the speed and perfectionism were impeccable!
Lets goooo
He even had time to do a melee emote at 25:00
@@jennaxolotl6275 no way bro hit the inspect keybind on the tray 💀
There’s no way my barrel extended to that
@@vexy-_-1122 WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
27:26 I didn’t know people could do that, that’s kinda cool
Holy. This guy is quick, and can work under pressure. Customer service skills 10/10 too.
watching this i thought being a barista would be something i could do, then i saw the swirls with the cream and made me realize how i probably wouldn't. Keep up the work! ❤
You dont have to do that, most coffee places dont. Its something you will learn to do on the job and then you can start doing it too
It’s actually not as hard as it looks to do the swirls
id love more videos like this. such a comfy vibe, I love watching the rhythmic and artistic process you go through, and you deal with customers so well. also my only experience with coffee making is in a VR game, so it was fun seeing the real life of it
I'm so sorry but I didn't see anyone else point this out - at 5:16 a piece of foil from the milk jug goes into the milk, and at 6:47 it's poured into the takeaway cup 🥲 still looks delicious, though! amazing job ❤
I was looking for this comment lmao
I was watching this on a big screen and spotted the same thing. You can see it in the jug afterwards floating just under the surface near the spout.
No way this guy fingers the top of the milk foil like that, poking his hand inside, yet wastes time on 0.1g of coffee in the espresso.
This video kinda highlights how bullshit some of coffee/barista culture is tbh! 😅
Yikes.
Good work. Focused and efficient, I didn't think you were stressed at all.
This man is a craftsman, this is art and very soothing to watch 😮
Honestly I really really enjoyed this video. I used to work in a cafe and I'd always watch them make the drinks. I'm fixing to go to college and I want to work as a barista
