    i've been working as a barista for a few months in a small town independent coffee shop, and i have mad respect for you - doing all of the jobs alone, single-handedly running the show, it's amazing! many people don't appreciate how stressful a job it can be, especially during a morning rush. thanks for uploading ❤️

    As a barista, I see that you are invested and interested in improving your craft. You have tons of skills running such a fast paced bar by yourself with techniques as ghost steaming and still producing primo latte art and proper texture for each drink. It's quite impressive!! You have quite the future ahead for you.

      I never knew it was called ghost steaming, thanks for letting me know! I got the idea from a coffee shop I used to visit back in uni, and decided to use it since it helped me save 10 secs+ just to do the till, shot, and milk all at the same time.

      @@jessiegao_ out of curiosity, what’s the thinking behind the higher brewing ratio than the typical 1:2? Is it just how the specific roast is best enjoyed? Hope you don’t mind me asking!

    • @jessiegao_
      @jessiegao_  4 года назад +24

      @@Shawdigital For this specific roast we were using, a higher brew ratio suits the general taste of the area we were serving, and it also tastes less intense (it was quite strong for a medium roast). The brew ratio is not a strict guideline, so yes for this roast I chose a higher brew ratio so it tastes better in general. Feel free to play with the ratio as everyone's preference is different.

    If you’re an employee, it speaks volumes about your boss given the conditions in your job. What if you have to go to the bathroom? What if you want to have a decent, warm meal sitting at a table? Those things and not the latte art itself drew my attention the most. If you’re not the boss, he/she should be really ashamed to be making a literal fortune (independent coffee in London I’m sure it’s not cheap) out of somebody else’s health.

    Saying "Hello, how are you?" to customers, with eye contact, is one of the most important thing an employee can do, especially when the customer walks through the door. Making the customer feel noticed and welcomed will play a big part of them coming back to you again and again. Of course the quality and taste of the coffee plays a huge role as well haha

    Busy Morning coffee shift!!!! the bartenders nightmare and the best way to get the notice of the person you want that quit,
    and still the most pleasure moment to work when you get the flow and you love your machine!--good coffee--good steps and habits-good art--slow and smooth--
    Never good to see a barista rushing and if he does ...bad
    Good job! nice video

    enjoyed the vlog! . I always wonder ,does customers in a hurry ask for fast latte without art , I know latte art doesn't take much time but does it happen ?

    I really like your video! I just noticed one thing .. that you're holding the cup from top/ touching the place where people put their lips to drink, which is not the best practice ... some customers tend to get angry, esp. in Europe

    This was so soothing to watch. I’m two months into my specialty coffee job and still trying to get my head around things! We have a similar machine - would you have any tips for that steaming wand? I find it a little awkward! Also, if you’re going to be working shifts alone so much, we have an Ubermilk for busier times - it might be handy for your rushes! 🥰✨

    I am 2 months in as a barista and I love it. It can get busy and hectic but staying calm is the way to be.
    Our bar is a bit bigger than this and we can have up to 4 workers behind the bar, 2 baristas and 2 cashiers/runner.
    No need to make it a bigger deal about it, staying calm is key and saying hello is always good. I’ve work with other who make it more dramatic than it’s needed but at the end if the day we are good. We do latte art with mugs but most of our orders are Togo cups so we don’t need to do latte art. It’s fun.

    • @jessiegao_
      @jessiegao_  3 года назад

      I always ask the technician to come in ASAP, it got fixed not long after

    • @zlutyzakaznik679
      @zlutyzakaznik679 3 года назад

      Changing the gasket is an easy task and every barista should be able to do it on his/her own. First and foremost: when the leaking appears it's an indication the maintenance interval is way too long. Is it really a GS3? I've seen quite a few of them, both off and on-line and they always were a single-group.

    • @jessiegao_
      @jessiegao_  3 года назад

      😅 I'm sorry but many coffee shops in London provide zero training and my boss was particular about not letting us do any maintenance as it is costy if we mess up. I learn from the technician when he does maintenance, which are the things you think baristas should know. Having an assumption is the worst when you treat new baristas in the industry as no one is born the job and everyone has a different attitude about learning. I'm not sure if you work in coffee or not, but rather than assuming someone should know about a certain knowledge because you have a high standard and judging them , maybe you should teach and give advice instead? It's a Strada AV, my bad, but looks a lot like a GS3 :)

    • @zlutyzakaznik679
      @zlutyzakaznik679 3 года назад

      @@jessiegao_ I’m sorry too. No offence intended as, well, my coffee standards are sky-high as I’ve been drinking espresso since 2004, writing about it for six years and making it for over two years by now. I forgot that owners (and it’s their primary responsibility) or Italian lesser brands --- and I have nothing against good Italian espresso, I love it! --- tend to not support their contracted coffee shops with proper training but that’s my fault or wrong assumption. I’ve been to London many times and while Marzoccos and NS/VAs are almost omnipresent these days it does not guarantee each and every barista is allowed to make technical adjustments or deep maintenance. Glad to have recognized Strada though. :-)

    i think the owner should put at least 2 people on a shift cause it is also a health and safety concern.
