No idea why your videos appeared on my recommended, but hella satisfying to just chill out and watch.

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

Glad you enjoyed mate! Try to visit at least one new cafe every week and show it to you guys. Got 5 new ones coming up in the next two weeks so stay tuned 👀

[@sirrudy1233]

Exactly 😂😂

[@haydenloggedin]

London is truly blessed with so many good independent coffee shops

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

Ikr, you literally can’t go anywhere in London without finding one. Makes my job super fun!

[@hevieo9050]

It's always refreshing to see a new café :) We appreciate the frequent uploads Connor! Cheers ☕

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

This one was super cute! Glad you’re enjoying the content- plenty more to come 👀

[@curlyqstooge]

That moment when the trainees referred to your swan art as a turkey! 🤦‍♂😁 You're a good sport & they were lucky to have you as a trainer! Great vid as usual!

[@Momoamoamed]

Best wishes and great success to Soto Coffee. Thank you, Connor, for bringing attention to the new, and interesting coffee houses in the London area.

[@NaruKH2FM]

[@krazypizza1163]

[@ahsanbarlogout]

[@rishalishal4788]

Finally connor show it

[@tsubakkis]

love your videos so much! I miss being a barista but not enough to go back into that line of work lol so I live vicariously through your vids

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

Thanks for watching! I love being a barista ☕️

[@tsubakkis]

@@ConnorDoesCoffee you’re brilliant at it! 💗

[@what_homework]

I remember last year, me and my friend got to make the first drink for a customer at a 2nd location for a local coffee shop's grand opening. We got to be the first barista leads there after a month of helping set up shop which was immensely rewarding! The espresso machine's name was Stacy (my favorite espresso machine I've ever operated, and brand new at that). One of the great memories of my life, especially coming back there every now and then to check on how the shop's doing :) I can't imagine how exciting it must of been to be among the first to serve at a café like that! It was also really fun to see you share some tips with your mates, brought back great memories

[@elmihir]

Excited as always to watch you work! 😄❤ Isn't spoons supposed to be near the saucers for ease and efficiency in delivery? or like the far placement of refrigerator? Their layout seems hectic and a bit inefficient for barista's user experience no? Anyway hope this new café does great! Much support to you as well! ✌🤩

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

Thanks mate! Yeah that’s a good point- we had a good discussion on the day about reworking the layout to help with workflow. For example I think they’ll move the grinder to the other side as well so it’s near the knock box. I’ll be going back there in a few weeks so look out for an update! Thanks for watching!

[@elmihir]

@@ConnorDoesCoffee Oh that's lovely!!! Looking forward to seeing you work there again. Cheers 😄

[@millyturnerr26]

Love your videos man! I'm a barista aswell and I just love to see your passion to make quality made coffees☕️ Keep up the great work yeah! Also would you know which espresso machine this was used in this video? 😄

[@ArmanHossain-ud2xg]

I have two years experience working as a barista in a coffee shop in Saudi Arabia I'm a barista Can I be hired as a barista? 

[@shay4713]

hi connor! i love watching your videos and was wondering how you get to work at a variety of coffee shops? do you pick up shifts through an app? i'm looking to do the same :)

[@samiideuw1681]

Hey, great video as always! I was wondering how it works for you like to go to differents coffee shops everytime like, do you have a week long contract everytime or maybe it's something idk about ? anyway thank you if someone answers and keep up Connor we love your videos!

[@angelicaamora11]

I'm Filipino and my ears perked up when he mentioned Milo (the chocolate energy drink [with a kid kicking a ball on a green packet] indeed) 😂 😂

[@gulferamus4999]

I recently watched a James Hoffmann video on how to steam milk, and it's really satisfying recognizing all the little gestures when you do it now. I don't own a steaming wand, nor have I ever owned it.

[@richardandrews1384]

Been watching for about 2 weeks, just got my barista job last week and love watching your videos

[@sfm1017]

As always 👍👍👍

[@BRGPF1TEAM]

I would like a caffe macchiato, thanks!

[@Methy_Watches]

Overkill with the cafe moves

[@samirlama4669]

I am just beginner give me a tips

[@andreaabbate7959]

I am a Barista from Uruguay, I don't have my work experience yet, but I love your videos! They give me an idea what it will be like to work on that when I get it! :)

[@LightningfistCal]

I love the shoutout to Nestle Milo. XD

[@רועישפירא-ב1ס]

[@pingxu57]

What is this new cafe name???

[@KillerTacos54]

Fantastic mate

[@MdIrfan-ps7wf]

I want to work with you

[@The_Tiritakid]

Painful grinder

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

I mentioned this too them, it’s only there first day though. To negate the pre ground element of the grinder I recommend keeping the chamber quite low as well. It should still be as fresh as possible.

[@anetarojewska9880]

good job!

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

Thanks!

[@楊咩咩-l9k]

[@Nyx5_4]

It's hard to make a design for me

[@diniz8881]

With the coffe in one hand, and the ready milk in other, first thing u don’t start directly with the art, u have to mix the coffe with the milk first and after u start drawing something beginning on the side of the cup, not in the middle looking to where the milk is going, not to where it falls, look at 16:48

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

One of the last clips in this video was me helping to train one of the baristas, that might help?

[@Nyx5_4]

​@diniz8881 I knew that but the design is terrible

[@jmelyk]

So many unnecessary moves 😧

[@diniz8881]

He is not rushing

[@ConnorDoesCoffee]

They’re not unnecessary if they make the experience of the drink better IMO. It’s so much more than just a quick coffee- how does it taste? How does it look? Does the texture feel like silk as you sip it? Does the person behind the bar actually care or are they just treating it like another coffee? This is my passion. For me, getting the drink made quicker would be a lack of care.

[@jmelyk]

@@ConnorDoesCoffee I get it now
