In the daily life of baristas, there will always be a lot of strange orders, but as a conscientious barista, we always believe that the customer is God's principle, if it is the customer's request, then it is good no problem!

Although, there will still be a lot of guests sometimes will put forward some "special" requirements, how to say it, not to say that this cup of coffee you can not order, but this cup of coffee we made you will definitely feel that we are playing you. (Of course, there are some things that really can't be done...)

Guest: I'd like a cold hot American, the kind that feels cold and tastes hot.

Barista: OK, no problem. I'll hire a magician.

…

Guest: Latte, please. Less spicy.

Barista: Not spicy at all.

…

Guest: I'd like an iced American and a flower.

Barista: Are you sent by the boss to test me?

…

Guest: I'll have a latte, no milk. I'm allergic to dairy.

Barista: Looks like my career as a barista is coming to an end.

…

Guest: May I have a pop in my coffee?

Barista: Would you like some more pearls and taro balls here, sir?

…

Guest: Do you have coffee beans?

Barista: Yes, this is a blend of beans, and then single beans have…(after 10 minutes of introduction)

Guest: pinch beans for a while hard rub: you this bean resistant to cooking?

Barista: (confused) Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean.

Guest: (a little impatient) is to put coffee beans in a pot to boil, ask you to endure boiling?

Barista: Nay! It's very easy to cook! Don't worry, you won't be able to cook it in a pressure cooker!

…

Guest: Hello, vanilla...

Barista: ???

Guest: What's vanilla latte? Vanilla... Hazelnut latte. What flavor? Hazelnut... Matcha latte. What flavor? Matcha flavor... What flavor is regular latte?

Barista: Emmmm, coffee flavor…

…

Guest: Make me the bitterest coffee.

Barista:

…

The barista says he can't meet these special requirements.

Coffee is becoming more and more popular, and everyone may have various requirements for coffee. But! To have such a fresh request also proves that with the joint efforts of coffee practitioners, coffee culture has been well spread, and it is a good thing that everyone dares to try to accept new things!

Then in the face of these requirements, the barista's job is to guide the guests correctly, in addition to trying to meet them. While meeting the requirements, the barista can give the guests appropriate knowledge of coffee. For example, if the guests want a cup of American coffee with milk, they can make it first, and then explain to the guests that the general American coffee is sugar-free and milk-free. Next time, if you want to drink American coffee with milk, you can order a cup of white American coffee directly, which will be more convenient.

In this way, not only to meet the requirements of the guests, but also to introduce the guests to the relevant knowledge of coffee, why not!

Although the coffee market is hot now, there are still many people who don't know much about coffee knowledge, so coffee shops actually act as a kind of evangelist position, one more explanation may lead to one more customer, some people may think that explanation is not in the responsibility of baristas, but if you want to develop in the coffee industry for a long time, you actually need to bear this responsibility.

Finally, I hope that baristas will adhere to their original intentions and let more and more people like coffee, so that China's coffee culture can develop better and better!
