This feels like playing one of those papa's pizzeria-type games.
But if you lose you don't play anymore (and also get poor)
OMG!!!! ❤ is this why i like watching the video? it popped up on my feed, caught my attention & stayed for the nostalgic feeling you described. despite it being a busy lunch rush, this in my opinion is very calming.
Omg those games were my childhood
Like “overcooked?”
I didn’t expect it to be as stressful though- I mean papas pizzeria was 5 orders and by the time the third order came around I used to start panicking and messing things up
I came home a busy day at my job as a barista only to watch 29 minutes of a barista being busy.
hi, which one do you think manual machine that produce great esspreso? RokPresso, Flair, Starreso ?
I think that's alienation 😂
same here hahahah
@@stephanuswidjaja105 I have a flair but I’ve heard all of them are great
Fax 😂😂
listening to the customers have patience and calm demeanors is such a change of pace for my ears
becuase its Europe not America
@@Yowza-13 pretty sure this is in australia
@reioky942 no this is in England, his other videos show him in London cafes
@@Yowza-13my bad haha
@@reioky942 dw bout it
That guy is clean, polite, friendly and hardworking …..
Everything, except clean, he needs to work on that a little bit !
@@mariocota27 let him cook! 🤫
@@mariocota27you sounds so passionate about a small mistakes that he made. I don't think any human being can keep up or consistent on work with busyness, working alone and to make sure everything cleaned up. I'm not saying cleaning is hard but to maintain it cleaned, it's nearly impossible. Imagine ourselves work in busy cafeteria, non-stop orders and working all alone day and night.
@@kairyujin11 at some point you have to tell yourself "ok client's gonna have to wait a bit here" and clean up whatever you've left undone, which I believe he did (he could take a moment to do it more often but it's ok). If you don't its gonna mount up and it's always bad for the costumers to see, and for you to work in.
@@panosfasoul699 good point but for me I always wanted to make sure no queueing or customer in front of my counter then I can do all cleaning stuff. But I don't wanna argue even further because we're not going anywhere with this conversation. So let's move on
“Being a cafe barista sounds calming, I should be one”
What being a cafe barista is really like:
I really just watched a man handle a busy lunch rush, on my day off as a waiter...
And enjoyed it thoroughly...
Massive respect and great job!
"rush"
Also i have respect for the guy, its just that this doesent really qualify as a rush, good on him for managing everything smoothly, but I wouldnt even say any of this was stressful and wasnt anything close to a rush, just a couple peeps wondering in that werent even served super effectivly
Omg same here! xD
@@bryanroberts7703you have to take in that he is on his own, which is difficult in the first place, and he had to do multiple orders at a time at one point in the video- which is very difficult alone as being efficient with your time is very key in those moments- taking too long will upset customers. i think youre underestimating the situation
@@alexaar4951 Short version: I respect Hospo workers, he was doing good, wasnt actully that efficient though, only saying it wasnt a rush.
As someone who has worked at like four costa coffees, the idea that you would have time to WEIGH coffee for every shot is absolutely insane to me.
I'm sorry but costa coffees are shittt, everywhere around the world
@@AussieBlocks didn't say they weren't, its dogshit. But you sure as shit don't have time to weigh precisely 18 grams of dogshit either haha
that's why costa is shit
@@stenloo they're shit. No hate, no anger just awful drinks.
@@stenloo informative comment
The fact that customers are respectful and patience is just amazing😛
average english citizen
@@kibbylol I thought he was australian 4 some reason
@@Skyblue-bq6ev definitely not bro. in PL for example, some people would go out of their way to ruin his mood just because he looks "too relaxed", literally. i didn't work in starbucks particularly, but it did happen to me a lot as a cashier - someone would literally say something along the lines of "why are you so relaxed? don't you see how many people are in the line???!". maybe in starbucks customers are generally nicer. they came to just have a coffee after all:D
@@Skyblue_2049 yup
our customers would be furious if they had to wait that long for a cup of hot latte
BRUH, NO WAITERS? NOBODY AT THE REGISTER? You're a damn skilled mf
in my opinion, the worst part about being a barista is having to carry a full cup of coffee without spilling it. it so fucking hard if you have naturally shaky hands like i do
this is why I hold the coffee in my mouth on the way to the table and spit it in the cups at their seats
Why that some amount of milk is wasted?
I would literally watch you run your whole shift! You were so kind to the guests and your work ethic is on point, good job bro ❤
You would, but would be a greater appreciation to be hired and help the barista by processing orders faster
Ohhh Ur th guy from tiktok
@@JavierTorres-hz3pb HE’S NOT THE GUY FROM TIK TRASH FFS
🤦♂️
@@ultralaggerREV1 Lmaooo TikTwok kids eh 😂😂
@@airspeed_alive i used to think that too till tiktok learned what i like now i see cartel and hash making videos
Massive respect. Efficency and costumer service at its highest level. Cheers from México.
Loser.
Efficiency? Spent so much time taring the portafilter from the scale for each order. Instead of using the Tare function of the scale she could “zero” the scale with the portafilter on it once. Then and the grinds. It’s not like we are in an organic chem class here and need to be accurate down to the microgram. There was a ton of time wasted so it really is not efficient. But she does work hard and is consistent. Managers really need to get their heads out of … you know.
@@exodeus7959 The portafilters don't weight the same, design flaw of the machine that was amended for the version with in built scales. A dosing cup or two would fix the workflow issue though.
I've been to several cafes in Zona Rosa, Mexico City. Wonderful service!
bro, is Mexico safe to visit?
Going to be there in a month!
as someone who was a standard barista before becoming a starbies barista, watching your performance makes me miss the days where i was making drinks to this standard. now its just pressing buttons and making whatever colorful mess starbucks releases. keep up the fantastic work, you’re making a bootleg barista like me very proud
ruclips.net/video/gfQ75IkL3Cw/видео.htmlsi=7UC-xSSxjWExw2dh
do u like the starbucks beans taste ?
Starbucks is shit.
Guys this comment was b4 the g3n0c1de started again 😭😭
@@J91383It used to be good too until they started making whatever the heck the pink drink and all these other creations are
You are an absolute rockstar. Not only are you great at working solo, but while you’re working on someone’s order, your chatting with the next customer and aren’t slowing down or getting confused at what you’re currently working on. Not to mention you’re so kind and friendly
this video helps me feel calmer before going to work; I feel like it's like a warm-up or something. Watching him do the same repetitive actions over and over again and being in that flow makes it easier for me lol
As a fairly new barista, seeing you weigh your coffee and steam milk without a thermometer genuinely made me jealous. Smashed it though!
It's nice that you have thermometer. I've been learning how to make coffee for 4 days, and during this time I burned my hand twice😭. On the other hand, thanks to this, I have already learned how to make milk elastic
@@lattuse lol "on the other hand"
i dont think most coffee shops in the uk use thermometers? i dont typically see them, and i never learned with one when i was a barista lol
@@bananm778 sorry, my English is not very well (or I accidentally made wordplay?)
@@lattuse your english was fine!! the other person probably was lightly poking fun at the accidental wordplay:))
anyone who uses a scale consistently even at a rush hour of service has the respect of every snobby barista there is.
Being a software engineer myself, I often get that urge to do something physical with my hands. Watching you mastering your craft really is a kind of meditative experience for me. I love it !
Same, I get that urge too, then I watch vids like this and I'm happy with my desk job lol
barista here... trying to become a software dev( going to my second year of CS)
@@andrewcraft5197 haha I’m a dev, I guess the grass ain’t greener on the other side then 😆
@@ambareen2368you definitely get paid more than the barista
Hey everyone this person is a software engineer
When the milk seal wouldn't come off at 5:12, I felt that
Fr😂😂😂😂
The standard of coffee you're producing is fantastic and honestly, the prices are better too. I'd love to pay a visit to your shop haha
I've never seen what a barista goes through when flying solo, this is amazing! Professional customer service!
I worked at Costa Coffee for a few months, and it didn't suit me at all. I felt incredibly overwhelmed and stressed. Watching this makes me really anxious because I feel like I would be absolutely panicking in that situation. But after 10 mins or so of watching you, it is really calming and almost empowering... I feel like I've been on a spiritual journey watching you work haha
It amazes me people panic over making a coffee
@@MrKeyalisit amazes me your inability to see things in other people's eyes
@@MrKeyalisspoken like someone who has never worked a day in their life, go outside 😂
@@MrKeyalisyou act as old as the little kid in your photo, that you?
@@MrKeyalisit’s not about making one coffee tho it’s about having to make many in such little time trying to make no mistakes and dealing with rude customers
It's ironically so therapeutic to watch... I know how stressful barista work can be and I personally cannot handle hospo but you make it look mega easy. Seeing you get into the zone and the flow of going from order to order is mesmerising!
Those dusting hand claps in-between actions, too 👏 just extra satisfying. Amazing work, my dude ☕
I just completed my first week as a barista and this video has bought me so much relief to the natural pressure baristas have to get past every day
I feel you on this so much 😭😭
Ok, this video made me realise how much effort is put into serving people and you master it. Congrats man. Huge respect!
yea..the coffee that he served aint gonna be that good
Thanks!
I greatly admire and respect all of you food service professionals. It's truly impressive how you handle each customer's orders with efficiency and maintain a sense of order, while also ensuring the meals are beautifully prepared and served in the right sequence.
I love how you gave the gentleman the extra few stamps for being a regular.
I have been a regular at the location I go to and they had me start from the beginning. Not sure if there is a rule for some places on doing that though.
That was great customer service there.
My regular place would give you a free drink at the end of each card, but I went so frequently (daily) that they started asking if that's the "normal size I get" and then they changed it from a free drink to a discounted drink. Lol
Thats horrible@@MissMarvel_
I'm hoping to start a coffee shop a few years after I finish university. This is really inspiring to help me pursue this career. Kudos to you, Connor.
What are you doing in university if you don’t mind me asking? Business?
Thanks mate!
Try working at a coffee shop first! They will pay you to learn how to run one!
Lol, mabby in 2 or 3 years i can work with you!
love this! little tip, if you pour your milk or put the espresso in water right away once it’s done pulling, it’ll have a creamy, sweeter taste and texture. it preserves the integrity of the espresso ♥️
man was doing 3 orders at once. I am sure if he had his full attention order by order he would have done that lol..
@@ACTPOHABTa I have done 6 orders at once and still put something to save the espresso! it’s called sequencing and it’s very valuable to master
I love that pat on the coffee after weighing to settle it, and I love the constant hand swipes. It's so satisfying
Wish i had your skill of interacting so well with customers and maintaining a good workflow☺️ you should do more of these long videos🙏🏾🙏🏾
More to come!
As someone who has never had coffee this is very interesting to watch. Mans is probably worth more than he gets
A lot of people in hospitality are worth more than they get
Karl Marx Said something about this
I recently started a new career path after having been in the coffee industry for 4 years, as a barista, cafe manager, and consultant. I love my new job but I miss the barista flow. This popped up on my feed and I had it going on one screen while working on the other. You handled yourself great and looked like you were having fun even though it was a bit stressful! Thanks for the vid!
One of the best coffee maker pov interaction with customers videos I’ve ever seen 🖤
I appreciate videos like this because it gives me a snapshot of the kinds of stresses everyone has in their own jobs. This video is just another example of why we should practice empathy and patience. Thanks for sharing this with us!
As someone who is a bartender/barista at my work. Your efficiency and politeness with the guests are absolutely fantastic. You have a great attitude and people SERIOUSLY appreciate it without even having to say anything. Your latte art is absolutely amazing, and effortless 😤💯
Great video! As a barista myself, I admire your efficiency and the ease in which you interact with customers! Keep it up ☕️
Thanks so much! Will do ☕️
What's efficient about this guy taking 5 minutes to measure 18g and then literally wasting time taking 0.1grams just to fuck the customer lol.
I've spent the last 30 odd minutes living through your POV and feeling like i don't have raging terrible dyspraxia and I could actually work in a job like this.
Props! Efficient and natrually decisive movement. There is a craft in everything and you're a master of yours.
Thanks mate!
WOAH what are the chances I'd stumble onto this comment. I have dyspraxia too and I'm an absolute ditz doing anything hands-on for the most part but I'm a barista myself. I'll say it was a hell of a learning journey, doing latte art and the like is still a struggle sometimes but I absolutely love the job. Not even a massive coffee drinker but I found the step-by-step nature and repetition of making coffee made learning and getting better at it really easy and eventually my co-ordination caught up. Maybe give it a try someday, won't know until you do if it might be for you!
And piling on to the love for the creator I'm absolutely floored at how effortless you make every aspect of this job look while under stress and making damn good coffee while you do it, props to ya mate.
@@Themegaminnies Do you have ADHD as well by any chance? I also get overwhelmed and start messing up quite basic instructions pretty often haha
@@Themegaminniessame here!!! i spill a lot of drinks but i’ve also been able to develop my motor skills quite a bit and i really love the job
I have dyspraxia and just started a job that requires barista training and finding it HARD 😭. Watching this video to give myself tips
I can literally watch this as a background white noise environment. Very stressful for you but relaxing for me just to be virtually in that setting versus a rough side of town. Great video for reflection and positivity.
I wish all baristas had your efficiency, skill, friendliness and professionalism.
Brother, I worked 9 and a half months at a Stewart's, I know the pain of solo working during a lunch rush. You kept your calm and just got through it, quick, clean and precise and you were damn polite to people as well. Cheers dude, I'd buy you your own Coffee to enjoy after the rush was over if I'd been there
Man this brought me back. I didn't have a lot of love for hospitality when I worked it, but now I'm away I have some aspects of it I look back fondly on. A bit of kindness from customers never failed to boost my energy on a stressful day.
As a part time newbie at a tea shop I can feel your stress but you are so cool.
It will definitely get better! I love it when you get used to it and are in a flow state
It so nice watching you work so cozy and warm when you talk and greet costumer. ❤
It’s amazing you are handling cashier and barista work at the same time. Thank you for sharing the video.
That is pretty standard stuff tbf. That is the job description of all hospitality jobs. He does it very well, though.
I know that feel when you're stretched thin all too well working in an understaffed cafe myself, yet you still present and serve the coffees beautifully and took your time while also being efficient! That's a job well done at the end of the day.
Something like this is hard work, having to get everything perfect quickly, being nice to customers, and you make it look so easy! Top tier video.
Mad respect for this man. The fact that this man is out there working this hard and being this kind in the middle of it is so encouraging.
Connor please make more videos like this, longer next time I loovvee it
Will do my best! I know people are really enjoying the long form content
Genius move getting the extra hot customer to feel the pitcher. Not going to complain it's not hot enough after that!!
He's so nice and generous with the clients, it's nice to see such care
Every coffee shop I've been to in the UK and I've NEVER seen them weigh the coffee haha!
im starting my first shift as a barista today.. really nervous but this is making me excited lol, ive worked in a bakery before and know some hours can become really really stressfull, the way your so calm yet so efficient and quick with your work really amazes me.
I hope it's going well :)
I hope everything went well
How was it?
How are you doing two weeks in?
Hope big man’s doin okay
I never would’ve known that watching a barista doing an absolutely amazing job would be so satisfying to watch if not for this video.
I would love it if you were to make such a video again!
wow your ability to entertain engaging conversation while working fast and steady is so impressive!
Best part of the job!
Timing to absolute perfection at 12:50 mug with water under placed right as the coffee started flowing, while mid conversation. Underrated skills right there
Oh my word! I have a great home setup and struggle to get a flat white right if my wife is asking me questions. You seem un-rushed with all that going on, and have time to be so polite to guests. Huge respect 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
i'm not a barista but you are really comforting to watch!! i really wanna try being a barista sometime as it looks really fun, and i love the art of making designs in the coffee. also i really admire how easily you are able to talk to customers, you sound so laid back. this video is so relaxing- not really for you haha but you are so efficient and handle everything with such familiarity and ease. i dont know what it is but this video really grabs my attention and soothes me. thank u for posting it's really cool to see your amazing work!! ❤️
i did a little bit of barista work when i worked at mcdonald's, and that was so fun but so stressful. i eventually quit because the workload was so much, we had hardly any staff, and the staff we did have would yell at me for the stupidest things. they would also pressure me into working overtime. i worked 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, sometimes 10. i would get 3 hours or so sleep each night. so grateful i had that work experience, but i wouldn't go back in a heartbeat.
edit: forgot to say i was 18 at the time, and this was my first job.
After I got out of the food service industry I swore I would never go back, yet here I am watching you with a sense of nostalgia for when I was one manning the ice cream store I worked at through High School.
This was so entertaining and therapeutic to watch
I must say, watching your work is really relaxing
Thanks mate!
wow your work flow around the machine is incredible! love steaming the empty milk bottles, super satisfying to squish. the way you interact with the customers is so great :)
Finally someone understanding the short form "Pov"
its quite relaxing seeing this
from one barista to another - huge respect, great job! 💪🏻
I like to watch people go to work while i'm procrastinating for 27 years
Woah - that looks really stressful. Respect. You are doing a great job! I send you strength. Love from Germany.
Thanks mate! Where abouts? I was born in Bielefeld!
@@ConnorDoesCoffee Oh das ist eine Überraschung. Ich komme aus Hannover, Niedersachsen 😁
You're so calming to watch! You have a great way with customers and are so efficient with getting orders out.
I would be absolutely covered in coffee stains if I was in your position, I worked a coffee stand at a large Sydney coffee festival (first time making coffee with a proper machine rather than a stovetop cafetiera) and by the end of the day my light grey jeans had a strong resemblance to a holstein cow ahaha
I admire how you stand the hot temperature with the milk boiling, it's really burning that i can feel it. Respect. I used to work like that too, so i know how it is. Good job, man!
This video legit makes me respect baristas so much more and this guy is so humble kind friendly and hardworking… he’s such a gem 💎
Its hard to explain to my loved ones how much I can find peace in chaos or in busy moments but these video sums up really how i feel , it just gives me calmness, cheers mate ! Keep up to good work, I respect you so much !
Damn, bro, I think you've just pulled a WR any% in solo barista lunch rushes, the speed and perfectionism were impeccable!
Lets goooo

right!
Great work my man.
I have to do pizza solo sometimes. I run Mondays open to close and I usually end up calling one other person for backup during dinner rush. Lunch rush ain't bad. I can handle it solo. Serving slices and making pizzas start to finish while making sure customers aren't waiting too long is definitely stressful work, but super rewarding.
Nice mate! Credit to you I love pizza. There’s something so special about delivering perfect service and seeing how it can lift people.
Wow what great pacing and charisma with the customers. I’m sure he’s just an absolute pleasure to have in the cafe, what a sweetheart
The constant adjusting of the 17,9 or 18,1 to 18 would drive me insane
With practice you'd have no trouble eye baling it
That’s why there are grind by weight grinders in the market. It grinds the amount of ground you input. He should get GBW and auto tamping machine. That’s 2 step process! Very efficient that way!
This is hypnotizing. I just got a Breville espresso machine and now I appreciate even more your work, the incredible attention to detail pays off, it makes a real difference in the end. Your customers are lucky!
watching this i thought being a barista would be something i could do, then i saw the swirls with the cream and made me realize how i probably wouldn't. Keep up the work! ❤
You dont have to do that, most coffee places dont. Its something you will learn to do on the job and then you can start doing it too
It’s actually not as hard as it looks to do the swirls
Damn man baristas are so underrated for their work
Respect💥
Being flashy like this doesn't come by just doing your job and going home, it's enjoying the craft and perfecting it. Love to see it!
Amazing how you can see the muscle memory and skill in it. As home barista, big props to you dude
I'm so sorry but I didn't see anyone else point this out - at 5:16 a piece of foil from the milk jug goes into the milk, and at 6:47 it's poured into the takeaway cup 🥲 still looks delicious, though! amazing job ❤
I was looking for this comment lmao
I was watching this on a big screen and spotted the same thing. You can see it in the jug afterwards floating just under the surface near the spout.
No way this guy fingers the top of the milk foil like that, poking his hand inside, yet wastes time on 0.1g of coffee in the espresso.
This video kinda highlights how bullshit some of coffee/barista culture is tbh! 😅
Such a humble and kind soul. This video feltlike therapy to my mind.
The title of this video should be “working as a barista - solo, all bosses, no damage, rush hour mode”
Speedrun any%
Holy. This guy is quick, and can work under pressure. Customer service skills 10/10 too.
I love how well you work and how polite the customers are!
Honestly I really really enjoyed this video. I used to work in a cafe and I'd always watch them make the drinks. I'm fixing to go to college and I want to work as a barista
bro the world holds on people like you :),keep it going your work is much appreciated
It works like a study with me video for me 😂
this was so nice to watch. I love coffee. The time you take to make each one perfect makes me so happy.
We had the same issue with two handles having very different mass and wasting time to tare the scales between every shot - so we took a file one night and shaved some of the rubber handle material from one handle so they both weight exactly the same and you don't have to tare the scales between shots.
Aaaand i got myself a new hobby, watching you work is so relaxing and also interesting. I work at a small shop that has natural/wholefood products. I worked alone there for 3 months and now we got some extra help, but dealing with the public and running the business, all the small tasks can be so taxing on oneself! anyways, linking your content a lot, keep up!
this is making me nostalgic for my barista days. i really loved your efficiency! you handled being a solo barista during a rush better than i did. we didn't have those built in washers for the jugs so if i couldn't run to the sink (which was in a room behind the counter) my counter was looking a mess! love your set up!!
Starbucks was one of my first jobs, you got to learn to love this. so many baristas are grumpy because they let this get to them. see it as a challenge and be a champ and you can really get a lot of satisfaction out of this kind of customer service.
also, at times I was truly a "solo barista" if you have a cashier you are not solo
Your attitude towards customers is so precious despite being pressured and doing A LOT just by yourself..
it inspires me to be more friendly and have patience with others
May you find true happiness in your life ❤
id love more videos like this. such a comfy vibe, I love watching the rhythmic and artistic process you go through, and you deal with customers so well. also my only experience with coffee making is in a VR game, so it was fun seeing the real life of it
It's crazy how easily that machine textures milk. I'm at home struggling with my barista espresso lol!
you please start going to starbucks regularly for morning joe.. triple vanilla latte breve.
Good work. Focused and efficient, I didn't think you were stressed at all.
I was thinking about being a barista this is a great way to see what it would be like
edit just finished the whole thing and I was captivated by how well you worked as well as your customer service. Although it looked stressful, It looked enjoyable and a bit fun.
