Barista Vlog Australia (Working in One of The Busiest Cafes in Sydney CBD)

[@jacobkittipol2546]

Was a barista for a time and had that same experience of seeing people wait outside the cafe before it opened (at like 5:30am), sometimes even when it was raining. It's a mostly chill time, even if you're in the midst of rush it can go relatively smoothly if you have enough stock/staff to accommodate. The hard part is dealing with entitled customers, bonus that if you get a bunch of them back to back during rush. I strongly believe that I learned more about life in 6 months of managing a cafe than I did in 4 years of college. Everybody should experience working this type of job at some point in their lives. You have my respect fellow barista!

[@keeptaiwanfree]

thanks for sharing your experience! i’m a current college student and just got hired at starbucks yesterday :) and i chose to go for starbucks because i wanted to gain skills and experiences and grow as a person. not to mention, i also have social anxiety and previously was quite bad at social interaction, so i want this job to push me to practice and help with my anxiety. it will be interesting dealing with entitled customers and i just feel like it will help me become stronger and more vocal. your comment assures me that i will definitely gain a lot from my new job!!

This was me 8-10 years ago. Back then I used to hate getting up so early for my morning shifts but now that I have a regular 9-5 job, it makes me think that the job I did before - opening the cafe by myself and prepping stuff - was sort of therapeutic. :)

As a work from home employee, can definitely see even being a barista is a lot of work with all the prep same with kitchen work. I can’t imagine. Just started watching this barista videos and it’s so insightful. For someone who loves coffee and seeing the mad queues at times on my fave coffee shops, can’t imagine the stress they had to go through with rush hours. Now I wanna buy some coffee haha!

Nice work. It reminds me the good old Uni time, worked in a weekend market coffee cart, 6 barista on 3 machines, 1 for shot 1 for milk only. Always over 20 people queue during the middle day peak. All young and fun, and the best time would be the latte art competition during off peak. Thanks for your video.

[@Tetsuza_3]

From barista to barista, your ethic should be standard in our industry. I used to be a chef before I changed for the better hours (I wake up 4-5am normally anyway) and because during my patisserie cert I was introduced to coffee making, honestly its just as busy as a kitchen without the unnecessary stress and heat. Love how formulaic and organised you work, every order modulated as it should be.

I miss working as an allrounder at the cafes in Perth during my uni days ❤ It was also the first time I was given barista duties, but not being a coffee drinker then, I did not know what I was doing at alllll... all I can say is that I sucked at it (burnt milk, still cold, etc). Lol.... But food prep, other drinks and just taking order and cleaning... I actually really miss that.

Its tough times for all. In Melbourne (Australia) we went from over 700+ cases a day to 0. Granted we endured fairly harsh lockdowns for 6 months, we now sit fairly comfortable and appear to be on top of it now. Masks were required and are now loosened with the need for masks only when shopping in tight confines. Wishing you the best of luck, stay strong. It may feel like forever, but things will slowly become normal over time.

@@knittingdoula Sydney had it pretty good. Lockdown for around 6 weeks in march then everything slowly started opening up again. Was at the beach on the weekend and you couldnt even tell we were in a pandemic. Until after Christmas, most people didnt wear masks. Felt sorry for the guys in Melb though, they had pretty severe lockdowns.
