Cafe vlog | A day in the life of a London based barista

Had a fun day today and thought I'd share it with you guys! I work at a bunch of different cafes across London so let me know if you want to see more...
The espresso recipe for my cafe just changed! We got a new El Salvador espresso in which is dosing out best at 19g in.

The taking-coffee-down-stairs part is nerve wracking. Other than that, cool chill vid. If I lived in London I'd definitely pop by, the food looks delicious.

[@JYYB]

Oh, agree, it's already kind of tricky just walking with a full mug. Haha

[@nihao-n1z]

I have also experienced it

[@sizquirt]

just imagine spilling coffee and there were people underneath!

[@georgeb9189]

Meanwhile I spill my coffee while it's still pouring into the cup...

[@posty0401]

I think the surface tension keeps it in the cup

[@hopefulbloom]

This is so satisfying to watch, it makes me want to become a barista/learn how to make coffee like a barista.

[@ovotal]

paycheck is average at most, latte art is fun tho

[@NaNa-rb7ou]

You need to have a few broken dreams and a useless fine art degree or public work with $120k in debt then you’re qualified to be a barista

[@ethiopiazoldyk4667]

​@@NaNa-rb7ouwhat does this mean? Do you need a degree to be a barista?

[@NaNa-rb7ou]

@@ethiopiazoldyk4667 no but having no sense of purpose because you follow your dreams and got a fine art degree then fine out it’s useless to acquire high paying job, that allow you to make better coffee because of the extra level of bitterness

[@Mr.Breadmen]

I love your careful handling of the coffee and your calm voice, you put way more dedication in your job than most baristas in a regular American Starbucks. You’re doing amazing mate!

[@stardewposting]

Starbucks is more like a fast food version of a cafe, tbf xD That'd be like expecting restaurant quality service at McDonald's

[@djrainy1]

As a barista myself I’m soo jealous, your environment is chill and the environment I work at is busy busy busy constantly 😂😂

[@MyBirdwatchingWorld]

Been lurking your channel for a bit, saw you pop up on my recommended about 4 weeks back and I’ve fallen in love with your videos, they have a very relaxing and chilled feeling to them. Greetings from Ireland!

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

Thanks! Many more to come!

[@lostinthew1ld]

This place looks like such a cozy cafe😻 I’d definitely go there if i were in London. Cheering to you for always making amazing videos❤️❤️

[@zaok970]

Loved it! We would love more videos like this one 🤍

Just literally stumbled upon your channel literally last night and it is the best thing it happened, love your videos already!

[@littlewolfi3148]

We need more videos where you work, very relaxing to watch

[@hugocuervo8866]

Hey Connor! Thanks for sharing your day, the coffeeshop looks pristine! Greetings from Colombia! ☕🌞

[@camillariis6382]

Please do more of these videos, they are so chilled and relaxing! :D Loved it so much!

[@skyliproduction4764]

Why this is so satisfying? Why this is what I needed at the end of the day

[@Jimforthewin1]

I just stick this on whilst I work and the combination of the sounds (music and coffee) is so relaxing to me

[@Jonpoo1]

“A lovely sunny day in the UK” oh yeah I remember that day.

[@KillerTacos54]

It's been so awesome seeing your channel grow man. Keep working on it, you are awesome!

[@CuddlesNCassy]

Now that AI is taking over, I'm subscribing to every KZbinr that truly vlogs their real life. New subscriber ❤❤❤❤

[@Timmy-fn1gh]

This is art !! I love your videos its so peaceful and calming

[@zakkdanneman4906]

Love saving the bean for later haha. That iced long black looked delicious. That was my trend when I worked at Starbucks back in the day was I would make americanos upside down and one day a customer told me that is how they drink it in Aussie. Amazing. Great video dude! The science behind the espresso and soy milk is so fascinating. Perhaps the adding of cool milk chills the spro slightly, as to not overheat the soy milk. Very cool trick!!!

[@HappyNesquik]

my local cafe!! how random! super good coffee -- always go there for the sourdough bread and the filter nomnom.

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

This one had a special place in my heart

[@fofocarcoffee]

This is calming and enjoyable to watch

[@amberdrakearts6996]

KZbin compiled a list of Cafe content today, which is great because that's exactly the mood I've been in. You're the second video in the playlist, great video, love the way you filmed this! Will definitely subscribe. ^_^

[@mattydsmith]

Your dialling in technique is unique - great milk art!

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

Thanks!

[@kellydodds3784]

I used to work here for around 6 months it was a good experience and a nice vibe too! 😊

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

It really is!

[@PhoebeJeannie]

This just came up in my recommended and I love it 😊 makes me miss London so much 💞

[@yesseandiaz1427]

literally obsessed with ur vids! i watch em while i eat haha it’s entertaining

[@idontknow-hw7gu]

used to go to ur coffee shop as it was local to my uni, really enjoyed hiding downstairs and working, cool to see ur channel! :)

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

Such a good spot to do work

[@daisyme.]

i would love to watch more videos like this! 🫰🏼

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

More coming!

[@baristajoy]

May I ask what camera you used? >.< Love your vlogs !!!

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

Just my iPhone 14 pro max!

[@occamypotter715]

I really love the vibe of this video!! Please make more!! Can i ask where did you get your mug? The ceramic one with blue design. It looks soooooo good!!

[@michelsongutierrez4220]

I love your videos so much! Cheers from California ☕️

[@Junius]

Hey Connor! You're so lucky to live in LONDON! I live in Nashville, TN, USA. I'd KILL to live in London. I visited there 20 years ago when I was 16 and I'e always wanted to come back! I was a barista at 3 different stores here in the US, one in Franklin, TN, one in Berkeley, CA and another in Nashville, TN. I HATED it. I'm not working in coffee anymore. Best of luck to you! I really love this vid!

[@sahil_tayade]

From someone who at most handles one caffine source a day, seeing you be on your third coffee before I usually wake up is really crazy!!

[@TheRyanLamont]

Love these vlogs! V cool seeing you work at lots of different cafes. Why is that btw? Is that common for baristas to work at a few places?

[@znoppen]

Would love to see more long videos of you just working through a lunch rush or a whole day even

[@karanoelle4819]

The soymilk thing: If it's anything like cooking and using eggs in some dough stuff I've seen, you gotta temper them. Pour the milk in slowly to not cook the eggs, and raise the temp slowly. I wonder if it's going the opposite way here: A bit of colder soy milk to lower the temperature overall, and then the steamed milk to not curdle? Hell if I know what I'm talking about, but the process _seems_ similar.

[@zoejimenez3777]

What is the brown powder you put in before the milk? Nice video! 😊

[@HRBLUEWHALE]

It’s cocoa powder 👍

[@niklasjrdn7466]

pls more vids like this!! super interesting, cant wait to come bye soon and get a flattie first hand

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

Definitely more to come! I work at a few different cafes every week so can show lots of different perspectives! Thanks for the support

[@omikronairsoft6037]

God bless you brother!

[@lastoeck]

Loved this video! Consider this a request to add a few more of these into the mix. Love your content!

[@jonathanhazan9528]

What in your opinion is your favorite brand of coffee beans? I really like notes like chocolate, strawberry and caramel, do you use anything similar? Just trying to familiar myself with more different brands than I am used to.

[@Itsdania90]

I’v give a like before watching the vlog👍🏻

[@susantaylor5068]

Great vid luv the products - you’re a fab barista - where do you get your energy - I ❤️☕️too

[@RadJordy]

I absolutely love your pourover dripper. Where did you get it? 3:52 Also I noticed you sync'd your taps to the music. Nice.

[@applepokerpie246]

Does your weekly cafe rotation stay the same or does it change?

[@Kunuee99]

nice video and I recently started working at a hotel kitchen and they have Starbucks coffee and Im learning to make coffee but that was true art of what u did

[@matthewseneris6095]

If I came to your store for the first time and the barista looks like that, I trust him.

[@Diablo25157]

Dude, this is the best coffee shop I’ve ever seen where is it at? I love coffee.

Love the precise measurements

[@faizal4655]

Have you ever considered opening up your own cafe? You definitely know alot!!! I loved watching the vid!!

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

I used to manage cafes in the past, it’s a little too stressful for me. I prefer to focus my time and energy on quality drinks and connecting with people

[@franklynforeal]

Hey Connor, what's your setup for filming in first person while still having both hands free to make espresso drinks?

[@irumsorathiya8647]

[@fernandobustamante3868]

Amazing vids bro! A cuestion, how do you film your videos? Thx!!

I panic walking down a 3 step stair with a Americano and this dude just go even spining down a 12 - 15 step lol

this video was so soothing and lovely to watch!

[@paniiziima]

how many cafes do you work at? and how exactly does that work? I'm just curious I have so many questions :D

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

All of them!! I have an app that lets me work at different ones every day

[@livewithintention1625]

@@ConnorDoesCoffee But how then do you know the processes/extras (other than coffee) in each different cafe? I know making coffees would be roughly the same everywhere but surely the different tills, storage systems, food, set ups etc take some time getting used to and need practice?

[@squidfeet7278]

absolutely based also I love your humor lol

[@tato4939]

Ive been curious, are you working with a go pro on? Or do you use your phone to film?

[@samiideuw1681]

Hey great vid, how did you became a barista tho? any tips?

I actually started at Starbucks lol! it was really fast paced and I picked things up quickly because of it. Just go for it! Anyone can be a barista!

all the coffee looks great💖

Thanks!

WOW that soy milk trick is big brain. im deffo gonna use that now ty bro

[@stuntpro72]

how does pay work for the guest shifts? is it a normal rate, half rate or no pay because of youtube monetisation? thinking of starting to get into this as a barista :)

I wish I had watched this video before went to London last year. Maybe next time I can have a nice coffee there :)

[@souhardya1487]

My question is about suger..I never saw you serve customers with added suger or any refined suger sachet.

[@일기장-l5v]

loved it! thanks man.

[@mcrobert8]

loved the music you used

[@chiaraippoliti]

It's caffè* latte. Latte is just milk, not a coffee beverage. It's an Italian word often used incorrectly. It comes from the Latin word "lac" as in "lactose". That's why "milk" looks similar in most Romance Languages: latte, leche, lait, leite, etc.

[@izanadrian3465]

Hi Connor! Can i ask if you’re using chest mount to record your videos while working ? Love your videos btw ☕️

[@movaab]

Barista rizz

[@gomymelody]

Is there a reason for the espresso to be brewed over the ice rather than adding in the ice after ? 👀 Also 10/10 video and vibes!

[@Jonpoo1]

I think people say that pouring the espresso on ice (or something cold) helps to trap more flavours in by stopping them evaporating.

This is the first time i've ever seen it sunny in the uk
