[@Chronicler9]

*Fun Barista/Coffee Facts!* - "Light Roast"* coffee has more caffeine than "Dark Roast" coffee bc the longer the beans are roasted the more caffeine is roasted out of them. Light roasts have more acidic flavors and pair with citrus snacks. Dark roasts pair well with chocolate snacks. *"Espresso"* is basically the first 20 second fall of coffee ("espresso beans" are just "coffee beans" labeled "espresso beans" as a marketing ploy bc ppl think it'll be stronger somehow). *Latte* = espresso and steamed milk (generally light foam). *Cappuccino* = Espresso and steamed milk purposely creating a good deal of foam. *Mocha* = espresso, steamed milk, and chocolate (basically latte with chocolate. the flavor "mocha" is the combination of chocolate and coffee flavors). And *Cold Brew* is a coffee made at room temperature much like making Sun Tea, where the grinds are simply soaked into the water and i personally find it the smoothest coffee~ :3

[@sapphirek5244]

I mean espresso isn’t *just* the first few seconds of coffee as you would prepare a pour over. You hit very high pressure for the roughly 20 second period, which is why espresso shots have that beautiful creamy head. Everything else is right though

I love Allie pointing out the direction they need to go like "where do we put milk that's out of the fridge? put it back that's right"

[@pokelover1kassey]

Watching others play this seriously, watching Arin struggle to make a drink and Dan struggling to witness it is a breath of fresh air tbh

[@LycanLink]

In regard to the intro, I love that Werewolf Danny is feeding into Danny's furry-ness, but the "BLEH" no longer makes sense.

[@mackenziesoltis4936]

Wait why doesn’t it make sense? I thought it was just a funny thing they added for no reason

[@uncomfortablekid8872]

[@cemspicer]

my favorite grumps moments are when Dan goes quiet for a moment and Arin doesn't know what to do so he just keeps going through his thought journey into obscurity and Dan comes to and checks him. this has happened an innumerable amount of times over the years and its ALWAYS funny

[@beansmcbongo140]

The scariest part about this is realizing I am doing drink training for Starbucks next week and it's going to be exactly like Arin fumbling to make an order

[@goosel9347]

Hopefully your training experience goes well. Just remember to take your time and ask questions when you’re unsure, especially at first. 👍

"So what is this game?" "I don't know man." *Arin proceeds to hit new game without taking a moment* "ok." Sums up GG in a nutshell

[@shahs1221]

From seeing many others play this, I can already expect Arin's gonna take forever getting through making the drinks just to get to the main scares. Edit: He didn't disappoint 😂 to be fair, I've seen plenty others struggle as well. The mechanics are a bit clunky for the first time.

from watching Jack's playthrough of this, i highly enjoy watching people get stressed by a comparatively low-demanding cafe job hahaha so i'm extra excited for this!

The coffee vs espresso discussion was the scariest part.

[@spankthosehams2675]

Watching Arin trying to figure out how to do even the most basic task has given me the worst anxiety but then he pokes Jory in the eye with his long finger and I cackled so hard it scared my baby

[@otakoolz7611]

I watched Jacksepticeye’s playthroughs of both The Mortuary Assistant and Closing Shift. He’s a very skilled player who got the multiple endings and explored what both games had to offer. I come to the Game Grumps playthroughs for the intense commentary on lattes. 😂

[@brashpotato1938]

Dan screaming in terror, and constantly afraid, gives me so much serotonin.

[@black_platypus]

The most unsettling thing is Ally gaslighting everyone by saying there is no coffee in a latte

I just want to say I think Arin did a good job. I didn’t notice the guy who lost his phone either. I also found it a little overwhelming all the coffees you had to make at first. It was a fun thing to experience and I’m glad you’re playing this game for the internet so people like me can enjoy it. Happy Halloween, guys!
