Tea & Coffee 01/04 - Working at Starbucks: More Than Just Pouring Coffee (#)

„The manager or assistant manager is assigned to showing the new partner the ropes, but even their hands-on experience is divided similarly to the book. The barista is taken through each station and after they practice a few times, they are given a test; for instance, if the barista was being shown how to make a cappuccino, he or she has to make the drink to standard independently. If done correctly, the partner can move onto the next station; if not, they must continue at this station until they have passed drink-making abilities. As I said before, this is not the Marines of coffee making, but it certainly can be considered the boot camp for producing the finest coffee makers in the industry - each new hire if they decide to take the challenge, will become THE ULTIMATE COFFEE CHAMPION!“
