Many people have the habit of drinking coffee in the morning, and in recent years, drinking coffee has gradually deviated from the symbol of life taste, and has become the daily life of many people, so they will go to the coffee shop to buy a cup of coffee to taste in their spare time. Recently, several baristas have been invited to the Hong Kong talk show "be awesome and wear helmets" to bao (liao) some secrets about work and some things you don't know about coffee shop chains!

1. Add disinfectant crazily

In the program, a barista who used to work in a coffee shop chain revealed that there is a special faucet in the shop, which is used to disinfect milk tanks, cleaned cups, and so on. Because the ice is easy to breed bacteria, the coffee shop will constantly add disinfectant to the ice to prevent the ice from getting bacteria. Although disinfectants claim to be edible, baristas worry that they always contain chemicals, so they never add ice to their own coffee.

two。 "mistress" makes coffee.

The barista points out that every cup of coffee is normally made with a jar of milk and will be re-cleaned after use. However, when coffee shops are understaffed during peak hours, they often do not clean, leaving the remaining milk to be poured directly into new milk to make another cup. The bottom layer of milk will never be used up, and it is possible to use "mistresses" and "third wives" in disguise. To make coffee.

3. Coffee smoothie, no coffee.

A barista who used to work in a coffee chain believes that the "most watery drink" must be smoothies, which even means that coffee smoothies have no coffee, but only water, coffee-flavored smoothie powder and sugar sauce. If you want to make "real coffee", you may have to pay extra.

4. Cakes and muffins in coffee shops are usually stale.

Since coffee shops have to make sure that the cake cabinets are full of food even before closing time, most muffins or cakes sold in the morning are kept all night and will not be fresh.

In addition, a barista tried to accidentally drop a whole plate of muffins on the floor, and finally the manager picked it up and continued to sell it.

5. Staff are free to change the storage date of food.

The muffins and cakes in the coffee chain are required to be cleaned that night, and all the cakes must be broken before they can be tied up and thrown away in garbage bags, so sometimes the staff do not want to waste them, so they will change the preservation date of the cakes on the outer packaging and put them on sale for one more day.

6. Goddesses usually click "Earl Grey Latte"!

In addition to ordinary black tea bottom, chain coffee shops actually have other different tea bag choices, such as Indian milk tea, British breakfast tea, etc., while baristas strongly recommend Earl Grey Tea milk coffee, what's more, most of them only beautiful women will order this cup. Everyone can try it next time!

After reading it, the editor feels that some things are actually hidden rules of the whole industry, which are not surprising to everyone; some things do go too far, but very often, as baristas, they can't help it. The company system of chain brands is usually relatively rigid, and it is quite strict in controlling wear and tear and waste. In the words of TVB, "no one wants this to happen".

Of course, there is no need to be too nervous. I believe that the vast majority of coffee shops and baristas will have good professional ethics. After all, there are very few black-screen operations that really deceive consumers and endanger their health.
