I got done with watching training videos yesterday and they immediately put me on the floor. I was so nervous. They quickly taught me to make plenty of drinks and it was a lot to take in on the first actual day. The ingredients are easy to remember it’s just a lot of specific things. Ex: for some drinks shots go either on the bottom before the cream and some others the shots go in after the cream.
You'll get the hang of it soon, give it a couple of weeks. On my first day they threw me on bar with zero in-person training. It was daunting at first, but got in the groove of it. Most drinks are pretty similar (shots, milk, flavor) but just have some slight variations
Thank you so much just started a job at Starbucks the coworkers are friendly but I always fuck up on the espresso bar I just freeze up and forget how many shots go in which cup or how many pumps it’s frustrating because I wanna be good and I know it’s simple I just am so nervous about messing up because the customers are so demanding and rude that I want to get it right the 1st time and quick it’s only been 4 days but I hope I get it down watching you do this was much more calm than my store and made it seem so much more doable anyway thank you for the video it helped calm my frustrations down and I just hope to get it down soon I really need this job and COVID has but me in a really bad spot so losing this isn’t a option
Nobody’s a master after 4 days, and nobody expects you to be. There’s a ton of drinks on the menu (even without the custom options) but with repetition and practice you’ll find your workflow and it’ll become muscle memory. Good luck and stay well!
Slicc- "Here at Starbucks, everything is super easy to do. You don't have to tamp the beans or anything."' "Simple iconography. You just press the buttons with the pictures on it". Also Slicc- " 'Handcrafted', by a barista near you." 🤣🤣🤣
Count the seconds on those espresso shots too.... maybe 15 seconds ... no wonder Starbucks coffee is SO bitter. That espresso extraction should be 26-31 seconds... explains A LOT. 3 seconds to make good foam.... not in any normal universe. Also explains why so many Starbucks can't make a decent latte/cappuccino with non-dairy milk which takes a more aggressive stretching and a little more time. The poor barista gave me sad eyes the one time my soy cap was SO bad I asked him to remake. He also didn't purge the wand before dunking it into the beverage either.
love this!!!! just started working as a barista about a month ago and wanted to show my boyfriend how we steam the milk cuz he thought it was cool lol :))) thank u for sharing !
@@shahedramadan5425 don't be scared!! the biggest thing to remember is to stay calm and focused. no one expects you to remember everything for monthssss, it takes time but you will get there! :)
if you make espresso at home then you'd already know it's not hard at all. that machine they're using is idiot friendly. main thing is to know the menu and items like any restaurant/service place so when you hear the order you go into action. knowing the concept of making espresso and know the menu options is 95% really. some people with poor working memory probably not good for the job.
It is a lot at first, and I doubted myself when I first applied. I’ve been there for three months and honestly if you have a supportive team it makes the learning so much easier and less stressful
@@realretrorelapse not always. My store has gained a lot of traction as the area has gotten bigger and anytime I’m on bar I practice my latte art, doesn’t take that much time once you’ve got the steps down and can do good milk consistently.
Is that cappulatte?kind of fusion cappuccino and latte isn't it?oh dude .. you just made a new style!awesome!and your latte art was .. I'm speechless!keep it up
the coffee shop i work at has an automatic machine for drive thru because it’s way quicker but i actually very much dislike working on that machine vs our real espresso machine because the milk steaming is very hit or miss with the amount of foam. the espresso from that machine does not taste as good as the stuff from our real machine that we get to dial in and tamp
seeing both machines say push rinse really aggravates me. i have a thing to make everything perfect and ready for next use, so i always rinse right when it says. Especially when I'm taking over cold bar if i reach for a cup, gotta push rinse for hot bar.
I think working at cafes are super appealing but memorizing all of the different drinks makes my head want to explode. I want to do the partnership since I go to Asu. But I’m nervous 😬 since I know I’ll forget, and I don’t wanna be “that worker” who needs to keep asking
It’s very intimidating at first, but with a little support from your fellow partners (and a whole lot of repetition) you’ll find that it’s not as bad as you think. Once you get down a caramel macchiato, you got half the orders already
I'm thinking of applying because the local Starbucks seems short on help. I'm not great at memorization so I hope to find videos that teach the basics before I apply. Of course hands on is different but I hope to be less intimidated.
Back in 2011, this was by far the best job you could get amongst all the other fast food chains and minimum wage jobs. I loved it. Now there’s more local shops and kids expect more money for doing less. It’s wild. 😂
My understanding: a venti sized iced starbucks latte is supposed to be 3 shots of espresso then filled with milk. I have been ordering venti iced lattes from Starbucks for over 15 years. Lately the venti iced lattes I've been ordering have had a very weak coffee flavor. Perhaps Starbucks changed the definition of an espresso shot from 1 fl oz to 0.8 fl oz; or perhaps they have changed the standards for calibrating their espresso machines; or perhaps they have taken to using lighter roasts for their espressos, but the lattes now taste like coffee-inspired milk. It was really eye opening when I ordered a regular coffee with 4 pumps of cream and 1 packet of sugar from Taco Bell; and I concluded that this standard fare $1.49 coffee is objectively better when judged as a latte than an $8.37 latte from Starbucks. Is it possible that the C-Suite that runs Starbucks cares more about cost cutting measures than producing good coffee these days?
I ordered a tall latte 3.75plus tax no sugar last week I barely could taste espresso so I thought maybe if I ordered ordered a grande café latte it’d taste more like espresso but same thing.i had a better latte for 3 dollars at HEB central
Hii!! I’m planning on applying at Starbucks this month I want to try to learn more about how to make drinks and everything so I will have a better chance at getting the job any tips?
kitty cat Starbucks will do all the training you need. The biggest thing they look for is your personality and ability to connect with new people. But if you want to learn more about coffee craft, TH-cam is a great resource so you’re in the right place
Starbucks has made their Coffee Academy (which Starbucks Coffee Masters went through) courses available to the public so if you're truly interested in learning, this is a great opportunity.
What I'm wondering: Are all starbucks using the same beans? There are a couple of different ones sold for nespresso machines, which ones is the original one that's acutally used? And... shouldn't a ristretto use differnet beans as an espresso and then again different ones for a lungo? And different powder sizes too?
Elaborating on the question. The ristretto shots are the same roast as regular (and same bean amount/grind size), but it’s a much shorter pull in the machine, resulting in a sweeter flavor. Long shots are the opposite, much more bitter and are really only good for an Americano. Both of these can be done on the machines with regular Espresso, Blonde espresso or decaf espresso roast. Blonde is better with vanilla drinks, and decaf is good for masochists.
@@SliccUniversity Thanks a lot, that's very interesting. And funny :D It's quite a bit different to the Nespresso system or what "manual" coffee shops do then. I'm gonna try the ristretto next time, I like my coffee as sweet as possible ;)
@@jemand8462 Yeah, it's definitely a step up from the prepackaged pods Nespresso uses. Starbuck's machines grind and tamp the beans fresh, but it's an automatic process. There's literally a robotic arm that tamps it. However, it's the barista's job to make sure the machine is calibrated to do everything correctly (that's its own video). I left the company a little over a year ago but the store I worked at just got brand new machines and I'm so jealous
@@SliccUniversity Costa is a coffee place here in the UK. Tbh their coffee tastes awful. I don’t know anyone in my friend circle that actually likes it lmao. Starbucks for the win always
@@blakechildress3845 well i haven't done any barista stuff just yet, i do cashier and drive thru and occasionally make small things like whip cream, mocha etc.. i was nervous too but as you keep doing it you get used it and more comfortable. i do mess up alot though, but thats just me.
So what I’m hearing is my friends who work are Starbucks really just know how to push buttons, and all the hate I get for using an actual espresso machine is just them jealous that I can actually MAKE coffee
Faith Ellis the difference between Starbuck’s espresso machines and yours is that it grinds and tamps the beans for you. Everything else is adjustable and should be closely monitored to perfection. Of course, this isn’t something I could fit in a four minute video. True craft takes years of practice, and I had customers waiting. Coffee knows no gatekeeper. You can make it with an expensive machine or a paper filter, but we all know a good cup when it hits our tongue, no matter the source. I suggest you prove your skills to your friends with a café duel. Make each other a cup and decide which is best. That way you can flex your barista skills and connect with delicious caffeinated beverages at the same time
It’s really cool that even after a year you still respond to comments :) I’m a manager at a Starbucks inside a grocery store looking to improve my skills! So does the type of shot matter for latte art? As in ristretto vs a regular shot?
Alexander Falkenberg you sure about that? Lol. I know Ristretto is a shorter shot. I’m curious if a shorter shot effects the latte art. I assume a shorter, more concentrated shot would affect color. As in a normal espresso shot may not produce such beautiful latte art. So maybe don’t assume I don’t know anything about espresso? :)
Gail-Ann Ramsey Fair enough, but one would assume that as a manager you would have some experience preparing espresso. Does Starbucks only promote from within?
Alexander Falkenberg so I actually work for a grocery store that has a Starbucks in it. They were highly desperate for a manager and asked me to do it even though I’ve never worked in Starbucks before in my life :D .... so I’m 2 months into making espresso. I was more curious if it would be prettier with a ristretto shot since a regular shot has more water and may dilute more. Or something. I dunno where my brain was going. All I know is I fail at latte art lol. I should have made that a little clearer in my post lol.
Regular shots usually work better for me, but I prefer ristretto for the flavor. The crema of the shot and consistency of the foam are most important. Bubbles are the enemy. The pour itself is 100% practice. It took me 2 years to make a good rosetta pattern and I still botched it in this video. Now, there's a lot of people in these comments trying to gatekeep coffee, preaching that you can't make "real" coffee at Starbucks, but don't listen to that (as a manager you probably understand). Great coffee can come from a copper siphon or a paper filter, but it's all about how you use the tools you're given. Stay eager to learn and practice consistently, and when you master it please send a cup my way
@@alex____1 hey man, I feel your disappointment but you can't pin the blame on the employees. I was an avid starbucks drinker for years until i sank in the espresso rabbit hole and right now when i sometimes run out of beans, I'd rather not have coffee than get one from starbucks. Gotta appreciate Gail-Ann's pursuit to improve herself and live up to the expectations of her position. Cheers!!
@@sandraelizabethcuatecopere7904 ok so when i was training it was overwhelming cuz everyones so fast paced and i was questioning if i could learn but they freaking put me on bar after 13 hours of training which was fast asf cuz its supposed to be 24 hour training ANYWAYS, im still learning i got the hang of it the pumps and shots overall and well i did deal w a few karens but idgaf i remain calm and collected LOLL sorry for the paragraph theres just so much to take in when you first start yknow
Tapping it gets rid of any excess bubbles that form from the steaming process. A pitcher tap from a good steam should leave it with a consistency similar to wet paint. Don’t reference the milk in this video tho, I got distracted from talking and steamed it way too long
That’s the Mastrena 1. A lot of Starbucks have switched to the Mastrena 2 by now which is similar but I’ve heard getting a good steam on the milk is harder
@@lebry79s.13 The company is called Thermoplan AG. I’m pretty sure they’re custom order and Starbucks is the only one that can get them new, but I have seen used ones for sale. I wouldn’t recommend them for an independent coffee shop though; it’s easy to use but constantly has mechanical issues. Starbucks has a third party contractor come in to fix it and they’re the only ones who are technically “certified” to fix it and have the right parts. Think the ice cream machine at McDonald’s.
yada yada yada. its not that you press the espresso by hand, its the machine doing it for you. all the pretentious baristas raging over efficient machines... my lord
It’s not as bad as it looks. Most drinks are the same few ingredients with small customizations. the hardest part is the inevitable customer that asks for his latte iced and changes his mind halfway through making the thing

Not enough
Probably the sadest „latte art“ I’ve ever seen.
Venti size is saved more money than tall and grande size, no any beverage is ordered in Starbucks but Ice Americano for me, due to low in calorie.
😂😂😂 nice latte art! 😂😂😂
I want to work at Starbucks but I'm scared I won't be able to learn how to make all the different kinds of drinks. Any advice?
Mack Ramirez You’ll learn. It took me a while to get in a good groove but it happens through repetition and a good barista trainer goes a long way
*Evil Snow Man hahaha*
How much oz of just ristretto you have in quadro?
Yes.
Wow you are so nice! I would want you to train me!
I would be so confused working at Starbucks
Oh trust me it is
I'm in my first week of training and I am so stressed over all the steps I have to follow.
@@sandraelizabethcuatecopere7904 SAME!!!!
@@ravneettiwana5672 how is it going?
@@sandraelizabethcuatecopere7904 ok so when i was training it was overwhelming cuz everyones so fast paced and i was questioning if i could learn but they freaking put me on bar after 13 hours of training which was fast asf cuz its supposed to be 24 hour training ANYWAYS, im still learning i got the hang of it the pumps and shots overall and well i did deal w a few karens but idgaf i remain calm and collected LOLL sorry for the paragraph theres just so much to take in when you first start yknow
1:19 sound like there was some deep story behind that or something😂😂😂
I noticed they always tap the milk cup on the counter why?
Tapping it gets rid of any excess bubbles that form from the steaming process. A pitcher tap from a good steam should leave it with a consistency similar to wet paint. Don’t reference the milk in this video tho, I got distracted from talking and steamed it way too long
Hi sir i have a work experience in Dubai can you help me get job Starbucks

That's a great pick-me-up when I don't want to crash after playing Nitro Pong in the back room
I just want to see beacuase when I grow up I want to work here
You got this bro!
Hi May I ask what kind of brand your coffee machine are?
That’s the Mastrena 1. A lot of Starbucks have switched to the Mastrena 2 by now which is similar but I’ve heard getting a good steam on the milk is harder
@@SliccUniversity I understand, but any idea if a private coffee shop can buy that kind of machine Mastrena 2? Is it possible!?
@@lebry79s.13 The company is called Thermoplan AG. I’m pretty sure they’re custom order and Starbucks is the only one that can get them new, but I have seen used ones for sale. I wouldn’t recommend them for an independent coffee shop though; it’s easy to use but constantly has mechanical issues. Starbucks has a third party contractor come in to fix it and they’re the only ones who are technically “certified” to fix it and have the right parts. Think the ice cream machine at McDonald’s.
What’s a name of the Machine? What brand is it?
La Marzocco
Where can we get this machine
In the wise words of Timmy Turner: "Uh, internet?"
You must learn About your Pouring and your latter Art,
I just wondering... its allowed to make coffe in the bar without anything MASK GLOVES shout out SBX

I could never work at starbucks. There are too many drinks to memorize and make
It’s not as bad as it looks. Most drinks are the same few ingredients with small customizations. the hardest part is the inevitable customer that asks for his latte iced and changes his mind halfway through making the thing
