How To Process Large Coffee Orders As A Barista (Coffee Shop Advice)

[@chipbirdiestone8815]

As an aging really really really really old bartender its nice to watch someone who's good at their job, I like the rocking motion to keep the rhythm......Mad skills player!!!

[@micah9261]

I sometimes have to work alone on the machine. When it's quiet and it's a few orders, it's okay. But during rush hour, I usually have to rely on a second person for shots. I'm trying to do everything by myself but I find myself struggling a bit. I prep my shots, get a milk going, pull more shots, pour, repeat. I think the most difficult thing is the alternating takeaway and dine orders. I would have to run the dine in coffees myself if others are busy, which ultimately slows my process down, therefore customers waiting longer. 5 minutes okay, 10 minutes I start panicking, 15 minutes I stress out. The other day, we had a 4-5 hour rush and I was alone on the machine. My heart was about to give out. Reached 130 bpm that day...

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

That’s not a great situation to be in, it will only make you make bad coffee and is not good for your well-being. Can you get a bell for other staff to come and collect the dine -ins, the long wait will only reduce business as customers won’t except this code n the long run. Do 2 TA to 1 dine in as this will allow the speed of a TA to keep the customers happy for grab and go, and the dine in customers are happy to wait a little. If you have a random approach it will never be a standard time for either and they will both not be happy. 👍🏻

[@anita1791]

Been there before. I used to prioritise the take away orders as the customers are on the go and usually can't wait for their coffees. But you have to be careful not to let the sit in customers wait too long, especially if they are on their own. But it has worked quite well based on experience. Working alone without 2nd person is tough. Need to train someone to help at least putting sugar in, putting lids on, etc

Let's say we're starting from @5:00 and finishing @12:10 = 7min 10sec divided by number of drinks, which is 6 = 1 min 18 sec for each drink. If it was me it would've taken me 7min 10 sec for each drink + getting two of them wrong for sure!:P :D Great video. Salaam to you and to all.

My favourite part about this is that you weren’t trying to rush it. You could’ve pulled some Dritan bullshit and pushed your workflow to the limits, but these were all carefully prepared drinks. My top tip for young baristas is: if you’re in a rush, start the next shot grinding as soon as you’re done with the previous one. Getting your dose precise is something that can eat up time, but if you’re multitasking it’s also something you can do with one hand while completing other tasks. Great vid!

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Yes, the shot can tie up your hands, having and ncd to distribute is a way to speed it up over you finger for distribution

[@vesta1000]

I got two coffees today while buying some beans and a milk jug... i got a medium flat white and a small soy latte. I have been watching and enjoying artisti you tube videos for a while .. since buying a breville coffee machine for home. Ive been keen to come and try you beans as i live in a town not far away. I decided to buy takeaway coffe while buying some beans because i wanted to see how fresh roasted coffee made by someone who knows what they're doing through an expensive and well set up grinder and coffee machine tasted. It was to me a little bit like warm milk with a little bit of coffee taste ... i not complaining but would like to know what to ask for next time im buying beans that would have a lot more kick ? ... i do like milk coffee rather than espresso. Very much looking forward to tasting the sample pack of 4 types of beans especially the single origin columbian (popayan) .. i haven't tried Columbian SO before. Love the videos cheers

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Thanks for the comment, the single and delicate will be not as strong in milk, the champ and fix will cut thru the milk better. What size coffee did you order?

[@ahmadaamer6]

What’s your thoughts on doing pour over coffee in cafes? I don’t see many here offering it. It’s just bulk coffee from a drip machine. The one shop that did it, took longer to make the espresso drinks because they spent time on the pour over. When it’s really busy or only one person, it seems like a bad idea. Usually if the shop is showing off some special beans, it will be batch drip. Probably very good batch drip, but 9/10 times it’s not pour over.

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

I think you’ve answered your own question there. It can add credibility to the cafe for having a specialty coffee offering. But that’s at the risk of slowing down espresso service which is far more of the customer base. It required dedicated staff so would be hard to justify in most locations. We love it, just hard to make it practical. Do you have a cafe?

Wow, I really enjoy these types of videos!! Even better when they're Aussie like me lol. Why did the long black have " special " beans? Just curious

[@MinersInfinity]

The special beans are a Single Origin - they usually taste better in black coffees in comparison to blends.

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Dylan is spot on. Blends are designed to be balanced through milk but they can lack unique flavours when black. Our single origins are more complex in their tasting notes giving the black coffee drinker more direct flavours. Very enjoyable.

[@killua388]

Automation is the future yeah but I still like a manual grinder, I feel its much faster hehhe, and I use the scale after every shot to maintain the quality, it sounds too much work but it really isn't

[@arlopalmer8195]

How do you deal with pulling bad shots in the middle of a rush? Or do you use every shot you pull?

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Our process is fairly standardized so an extraction issue is usually quick and easy to find and fix. We'd look to make grind adjustments if it's a grind problem. Otherwise if it's an issue with the machine we'd look to use a different group head to see if it's an isolated issue with the head for example. Beyond that would take some more trouble shooting. If there's an issue with a shot we certainly won't use it.

[@ecams78]

Hey! I'm a barista inside a grocery store, usually I work with one other person. The other day I was told I had to go solo the whole day....I made in until noon then told them I was done for the day ha ha. The way it's set up for us is so inconvenient. It's a modbar with everything exposed, only one steam wand. Milks, syrups and cocoa BEHIND us, so I have to turn around and walk to the fridge get anything. Any tips on how to make this work? I really wish everything were closer to grab. Meanwhile customers are inches from my face staring at me. NO machine to hide behind. Help.

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Yes storage is always and issue with tap systems, cup storage and also fridge storage are the negative to this type of machine. You have to look at having syrups at the pre grinding side to avoid you putting the syrups or sugars in.

Very cool to see those skills. No Grind by Weight? That should take out some time as well. At what temp are you bringing your milk?

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

65 for standard milk based

[@jjg19631]

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters I struggle with drinks for people who like theirs scorching hot. At 65-70, with the ratio very much towards milk, drinks tend to be at a drinkable temperature just like I make them for myself. But my girlfriend loves it very hot so on my home machine I had to create a routine. Not only dies she like hers hot, she also likes a different type of milk and a different dose. That took some time to get that routine down. Hope to open a place soon. I was almost there early 2020 and am now glad I did not pull the trigger. Definitely would get a put press and GBW-grinder beside a top machine.

[@MinersInfinity]

I'm curious as to why you use the Stagg for your long blacks. I'm assuming it's probably set to a lower standing temperature than the water you'd typically get out of a machine? Currently our workflow is usually fill cups with water from the machine, add shot, and if requested add either some cold water or ice. But I'm interested in this technique.

[@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters]

Yes it’s set to a lower temp, it also is fresh water, not boiler high mineral water that makes the coffee taste much better

[@MinersInfinity]

@@ArtistiCoffeeRoasters Interesting, I never really thought about the water in the machine being of a lower quality too. We have a pretty hardcore water filtration system so I'll definitely be giving it a try with our Stagg and see how it goes. If you don't mind me asking, what's your standing temp in the Stagg? I assume 70-80?

What's that silver cup your grind goes into? I've seen people grinder straight into the basket. Also I understand the swirly thing is weighted, but what's that next thing you do to it? It's fascinating and I'm binging these videos!!

[@MinersInfinity]

The silver cup is a dosing cup, it's using an accessory for the Anfim grinders that allow you to mount a scale into it. Slight issue with these grinders, it's hard to get them super accurate, so by weighing every shot you can ensure consistency. Grinding into the basket isn't necessarily a bad thing at all but this method ensures consistency between shots, and can also help point out to you if something is wrong with the grinder. Also looks like it keeps things clean too, which sometimes becomes an issue grinding straight into the baskets... The swirly thing you see isn't really all that weighted, it's an ONA/Nucleus coffee distributor, it essentially just helps to level the grinds in an equal manner. What he's doing next is inserting it into a PuQ Press - an automatic shot tamper that can be configured for tamping pressure. Generally just helps to avoid giving baristas RSI. Agree that these are super interesting videos - every barista and store has their own technique and it's interesting to see and learn how others do it different.
