Changing your #ID documents can cost several hundred dollars. 'This is literally the nicest thing anyone has done for me,' he said of the birthday surprise.
Does anyone know: why always napkin *under* food? Has been puzzling me for years. #baristas

So what are we to make to MacDonalds new branded #coffeeshop going up against the established chains in the #coffee sector?
CosMcs... innocently, it might suggest they're merely dressing up & playing at being #baristas... perhaps a little less innocently, we might wonder what sort of 'cosplay' they are expecting to encourage?
We staan nu bij de rechtbank in Den Haag, vanwege de rechtszaak die gevoerd wordt tegen de (ex)barista's van Lupi coffee, Horeca United en Doorbraak.

Can I please hear from #baristas and #espresso afficionados? Specifically, people familiar with manual espresso makers like the Cafelat robot & Flair press?
Can anyone give me their instructions/workflow on the Flair? I'm trying one out and it is just not working for me yet. I would call myself a total beginner on manual presses.
Or even better, give me your treatise on what manual system you use, and what you like best about it? Or why you hate it, and what semi-automatic machine you use?

By the 1980s, the coffee scene had morphed into the city's famed cafe culture, with its penchant for avocado-heavy brunches, and not long after that, local roasters and #baristas took Melbourne coffee into the stratosphere.”
“heard about the #coffee conglomerate’s generous benefits — tuition money, company stock, health insurance for part-time workers”
“hectic, high-risk pandemic shifts had racked up record profits for #Starbucks, but left many of the #baristas exhausted and embittered”
“corporate dirty war that ensued … draws a sobering picture of employee rights casually crushed and #labor laws too weak to help”
“really puts on display the whole power differential” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/21/opinion/starbucks-union-strikes-labor-movement.html #union #workerrights

As I start to get comfortable making #espresso, I’m learning that the machine doesn’t do much at all to help me make #LatteArt. It takes real practice and fine tuning.
This is probably the best one I’ve ever done, and it’s still very “beginner”. I’m all the more impressed by the #baristas who are good at it.
But it’s also nice to look at
any starbucks baristas here? we need a hashtag #baristas
