  • So the Starbucks Oleato is a thing… and it’s certainly an experience.
    --
    As I mentioned at the beginning of the video, I think its important to provide some info about Starbucks as a company and how they’ve positioned themselves:

      Awesome comment , it’s funny a guy like me with a $20 mr coffee espresso machine can make a better latte at home than a multi billion dollar company. Shoot I can even use their beans and make better coffee than they ever serve. Not sure what their problem is but in store Starbucks only for emergency use.

      @@hallcody3 Also a Starbucks barista here. The reason the beans have so much more potential than their actual drinks in-store is honestly because essentially everything is set to overbrew. For drip coffee, the urns are calibrated to keep running for easily a full minute longer than you really need to, lettting all that bitter, burnt shit get into the coffee. Tbh, I quite like the espresso in stores, but even that is pretty sharp, probably because the shots are on the longer side relative to how much coffee is used.

      @@pjschmid2251 Some of it is that I assume, but mostly I think it's just because overbrewed coffee from bold dark roasts is the traditional American taste. The average American, who drinks Folgers coffee or whatever in the morning and doesn't really explore the variety coffee has to offer, thinks coffee is supposed to taste like one specific thing -- that bitter, burnt flavor. It's just Starbucks' way of selling to the lowest common denominator.

    hey I work at one of the roasteries as a barista and the key to getting the oleato iced cortado to incorporate is to add all the ingredients into a metal cocktail shaker with 4 or 5 cubes of ice and then shake/ pour into the glass. the olive oil shouldn't be on top. also the roasteries use much lighter roasts of coffee than ur standard Starbucks experience. fruiter sweeter coffees tend to work better with the oleato drinks ive found

    This was recently introduced at the Starbucks I work at, and I learned that since it is an oil, it needs to be agitated in order for it to go well with the drink by blending, steaming, or shaking. I find that toffee nut and white mocha compliment the Oleato fairly well, but it is made to be more of a savory drink.

    My boyfriend works at Starbucks (best job he could get in our area, sadly) and they just started rolling out their Oleato drinks in his store. They tasted them before they were released there and he and all his coworkers agreed that it tasted awful. The olive oil they use is apparently very mid-tier so it mostly just tasted stale and unpleasant. He made his own version with some of the cinnamon dolce syrup and his coworkers actually really liked it that way!

    Hey Morgan! Starbucks employee here who just launched the Oleato in their city. The hot latte you made was the exact way we do ours, however its not a tablespoon of Partanna, its a teaspoon in all drinks. The cortado isn't apart of our menu here, instead we got the shaken espresso. Here's the recipe: get your double shot of espresso, add ice, add about 3 ounces of toffee nut syrup, and a teaspoon of olive oil and shake. Once you have that all shaken up, add some oatmilk and drink. The last item we got was the "Golden Foam", which is just our vanilla cold foam and 2 teaspoons of oil. The recipe for vanilla cold foam is just a 3:2:1 ratio of heavy/double cream, milk and vanilla syrup. In my store the foam was the favorite, as it has a mild sweet and rich flavor due to the olive oil and the vanilla. We were trained to incorporate the oil in drinks only by shaking the drink, blending the drink, or steaming the drink mainly because you don' t want the oil sitting on top. As you said, it leads to a really unpleasant experience. Overall, the ones from my store are decent. I wasn't a huge fan of the latte mainly because there's no flavor profile to balance out the partanna, so that alongside the darker, almost burnt espresso taste isn't good. The shaken espresso was good, and as I've stated the foam was the standout favorite in my store. 7.8/10 overall

I think it is great that Starbucks does a little more than lip service to sustainability and thinking outside the MBAA playbook of costcutting and vertical integration to maximize profit, but they still need held to a higher standard as an employer. And all employers. Know your rights and buy local coffee friends.

    my starbs recently got our shipment of olive oil... it's fun to experiment with, but it's been very troublesome to use. it doesn't emulsify into the iced drinks at all, and it separates out within minutes of being shaken into a drink or blended into cold foam. the oil is fine (and i've enjoyed playing with it in other things, like london fog tea lattes), but its utilization was poorly thought out in the actual recipes, especially considering how many customers do mobile orders and pick up their drinks 10+ minutes after ordering. imo they really should've had us combining it with some sort of emulsifier or stabilizer for the iced drinks.

    I think as long as you are using a top quality olive oil that has a sweet citrusy or other fruity flavor profiles that is not the run of the mill every day cooking olive oil. I can get behind using olive oil in steam oat milk to give it more body and the same fat content as if you were using whole milk. If you were to make your own oat milk that was infused with lemon, orange, blood orange, grapefruit oil I think that would be better though.

      This is why I'm experimenting with oil not only because I want to add the olive flavor. My mom and a couple friends are lactose intolerant and I was sick and my body being stressed and probably the antibiotics made me go lactose intolerant for a bit last year. It was terribly unpleasant and I gravitated toward oatmilk... I don't want to have to stock a bunch of different milks for different uses so I'm trying to modify my choice oatmeal and in the future plan on probably trying to make it myself as I'm shopping Vitamix right now and it would be hella cheaper to do it myself...

    I was beyond HAPPY to hear that it was getting flack. Olive oil is actually really good for you and pairs really well with acidity (like espresso), so the pairing wasn't as odd as some of the other stuff I've seen trying to be marketed. But just like everything else, it is best in moderation and (judging based on their syrup recipes) SB most likely goes past the recommended amount. I was not surprised to see it caused stomach issues. It's rich, as is oat milk. People are saying they are savory "once in a while" drinks, but I don't think that's SB's market -- these are people who order and drink these daily (sometimes multiple times a day) as die hard fans with regular orders.

    I had an interesting experience when I was trying flaxseed oil as a health food. At a certain point I started blending a tablespoon worth into skim hot cocoas to try to get some healthy fat in there, and to my surprise the result was a drink that tasted almost alarmingly like brownies. Which makes sense, once the flaxseed oil is emulsified in there, oil + cocoa is basically the essence of brownie. It's hard to describe the flavor difference between "chocolate" and "brownie," but it's very distinct and was actually pretty pleasant.
    I'd be curious to see how steaming olive oil in works with for example a mocha. I never tried to do this with a coffee drink (and I'm not sure flaxseed oil stands up to heat well enough to do stand up to steaming - I used a blender - but olive oil might). If "emulsification of sugar + oil = baked good flavor" there might be some interesting potential there.

    honestly so glad to see you speaking openly to condemn starbucks’ union busting, on the organizing barista end it’s so nice to hear support from other baristas. my store is launching oleato tomorrow and that’s meant i’ve been messing around with different drink ideas. so far my favorite is the iced shaken espresso with toffee nut syrup and partanna shaken in, topped with oat milk. we’re also adding something called Golden Foam, which is just our classic vanilla sweet cream with olive oil frothed in and that’s been nice on top of iced drinks. and for all my starbucks baristas out there who have partanna in their shops, a fun combination everyone at my store has loved is a grande oatmilk frappucino with a press of partanna and half a slice of lemon pound cake double blended in. it tastes like sicilian lemon olive oil cake :-)

    I work for Starbucks outside of Boston, and we released the drinks yesterday (June 6, 2023).
    I do know that Starbucks is intending on doing a wine release across all stores, eventually, and they are intending it as something to stay and continue through the future. This isn’t going to be just a one month thing and they’re done. It’s not just for the reserve stores, they’re planning on making this a core offering.

    I really like putting a few grams of (room temperature or melted) butter in my lattes. I pull the shot over it, and then pour my steamed milk. It adds a really nice rich creaminess and cuts off a tiny bit of bitterness. You get a sip that coats the mouth and the flavors last longer in your mouth. I think it was originally a sort of health fad, but I just do it cause it tastes good. XD

I def put too many drops of bitters in mine but I have to say I’m impressed by how interesting and unique it is. I know it’s a cardinal sin to enjoy the bucks but I have to hand it to them for creating a drink that strays away from the usual sugar.

  • @aidenburgess217
    @aidenburgess217 Рік тому

    Emulsion late is a weird concept, since oat milk is pretty acidic it's pretty stable too. If you used other milk the steaming might not have emulsified the late sauce. If you want to try other milks, add a little vinegar or lime/lemon juice, as little as possible is best to avoid getting the extra flavour.

    As a person with gallbladder issues, I am fully aware of the effects of both coffee and olive oil on my gallbladder. In fact, if I O.D. on coffee, my therapy is to make crush fresh garlic in olive oil or put a few drops of pure oregano oil in a teaspoon to a tablespoon of olive oil. I am currently on a one cup of coffee a day ration. Coffee has all that chologenic acid (bonded to the caffeine!@#$^^%) that pushes your bile and assists in that morning bowel movement. If you do too much coffee, however, it can dry out your bile by over-exerting it and then you get gall stones. Olive oil feeds and lubricates your bile, so it is a healthy addition to a coffee treat. Personally, I like richness of half & half and no sugar in my coffee. Oat milk sounds terrible alone, but if you can get that olive oil a bit homogenized into it's mucilagenous fibers, it might be pretty good. I will have to try it. A good substitute if you are dairy intolerant. (You can always have some olive oil garlic bread (or rice if you are gluten intolerant) with your coffee instead.)

      From what I've heard, a person's experience working for Starbucks is highly dependent on what store they work at. I've heard plenty of people to this day who love their jobs at Starbucks the customers might be annoying but their job itself and how they are treated by the people they work directly with is wonderful, and on the flip side I've heard stories from people who would rather sell their soul than ever go back to working at Starbucks. It seems that store managers and lower level managers have a lot of control over what goes on over their individual location and can use that sway to make the job a dream or an absolute nightmare. Corporate is an absolute shit show though especially with their union busting efforts.
