People who don't know coffee, how to order coffee in a cafe?

With the increasing complexity of the types of coffee drinks and the innovation in the handling of individual coffee beans and the improvement of quality, it is so difficult for many partners with difficulty in choice to go to a coffee shop to simply order a cup. To order an espresso, start to struggle with American, latte, mocha, cappuccino, ditry... After a hard time, the barista will ask you if you want cold hot, concentrated soe or mixed, fresh milk or oatmeal milk, and then will confirm with you that American barista does not add milk, cappuccino does not add milk, dirty can only be cold, flat white can only be hot, and so on.

When you want to order a cup of hand-brewed coffee, you have to start worrying about what kind of beans you want. The barista will also ask you if you want sunwashed or specially treated, floral, fruity, nutty or fermented. If you meet a very enthusiastic barista, you will hear a detailed description of all the individual coffee beans in the store, and then you will find that none of them are listening! Then silently ask: what is the first one you just introduced? Yes, it is not easy for guests to order a cup of coffee, and it is not easy for baristas to let their guests know what they are ordering. This matter seems to complement each other, because the guests do not understand, so the baristas have more explanations, because with more explanations, more guests will not remember and begin to have memory confusion, and then the baristas have more confirmation. It's complicated, isn't it? In fact, when ordering coffee, as long as we are simple to each other, there will not be so many complicated things. If you want to keep each other simple, baristas have to provide a good guide, that is, to solve the problem before it comes. If the baristas have to "cross-examine" carefully when the guests are confused, this will only increase the "burden" on both sides. When you meet a guest who is not sure what to drink, the barista can first ask whether you want milk or no milk.

If you want milk, recommend the latte, do not need to recommend too much, because guests have other ideas, will be expressed after you recommend, so when there is no other need, there is no need to increase the guest's choice. If you want something without milk, you can recommend sour hand-brewed coffee or a more mellow American style, really don't be complicated, again, guests want other tonal hand brewing / American style after listening to it, they will express it. If you meet a guest who wants to drink hand-made coffee, it's even easier. Ask if you want to drink sour or non-sour OK! After the guest answers, then recommend 1-2 corresponding individual coffee beans on the line, after the recommendation, the guests do not want to introduce anything else. In particular, Xiaobai, who still doesn't know about hand-brewed coffee, obviously hopes that the barista can help him solve the problem. As a result, the barista gives him more questions. Isn't this "persuading" Xiaobai to fall in love with individual coffee?

As a guest, if you go to a coffee shop and really don't know how to order, you can directly tell the barista what you think; or if you don't know the difference between coffee and coffee, you can directly ask the barista ~ Don't feel embarrassed. Barista is a professional! In a coffee shop, no one knows more about the coffee than the barista. Photo Source: Internet
