    • 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.

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.

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.

  • This video brings back memories. Some good, some not so good. I worked many a solo shift at the local bakery, and while I loved the customers and found the rhythm and flow of the busy rushes quite fun, it was definitely better when I had one of two more staff on shift. It was really, really unfortunate the few times I had to turn a customer away if they asked me to do something for them that'd take me away from the front of the shop for more than 5 minutes. An example I'll never forget was on Mother's Day. We had a steady rush of customers picking up cakes, buying cookies, breads, pastries... all very normal stuff. But then a young lady came in and wanted to buy 8 sandwiches. It was so awkward, but there was a line of 4 or 5 people behind her, and I knew her order would put me in the back for 15 minutes of more, so I had no choice but to turn her away. Normally, I'd have at least one other person on shift with me, or the manager/owner at least, but it was a Sundway during wedding season, and the owner often delivered cakes. My coworker who'd work with me on Sundays would have usually been able to help me, but I think he had either been pulled along to help with the wedding cake delivery, or he may have been pulled away to help out at the farmer's market (where we also sort breakfast pastries and bread every Sunday). Normally, situations like turning a customer away rarely happen, but regrettably, it DOES happen. I had to make a snap judgement decision that likely didn't reflect well on the business overall (and the customer was DEFINITELY not happy), but what could I do? If my boss or literally anyone else was there, the situation would have been different. Unfortunately, I had to choose the lesser of two evils.

    • Working solo can be tough, I've had some real challenges at the cafe with entire offices needing 30+ coffees on the spot or rushes catching you off guard. I think it's just important to communicate with the people waiting and let them make their own decision. I hope looking back you can remember the times where it was fun! Sounds like the harder parts of the job were purely management issues and you did your best. Thanks for sharing!

    • @@ConnorDoesCoffee Yes, you're very right. There were some aspects of my time working at the bakery (I was there for 4 years) that were extremely positive and impactful on the type of professional I became, but there were also parts that I look back on aghast (mostly management issues). All in all, it was very formative to work with the public, and to develop customer service skills. I loved that job, despite the aspects that weren't the best. The people I worked with were also some of the best co-workers I ever had.

  • 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.
