    *Fun Barista/Coffee Facts!* - "Light Roast"* coffee has more caffeine than "Dark Roast" coffee bc the longer the beans are roasted the more caffeine is roasted out of them. Light roasts have more acidic flavors and pair with citrus snacks. Dark roasts pair well with chocolate snacks. *"Espresso"* is basically the first 20 second fall of coffee ("espresso beans" are just "coffee beans" labeled "espresso beans" as a marketing ploy bc ppl think it'll be stronger somehow). *Latte* = espresso and steamed milk (generally light foam). *Cappuccino* = Espresso and steamed milk purposely creating a good deal of foam. *Mocha* = espresso, steamed milk, and chocolate (basically latte with chocolate. the flavor "mocha" is the combination of chocolate and coffee flavors). And *Cold Brew* is a coffee made at room temperature much like making Sun Tea, where the grinds are simply soaked into the water and i personally find it the smoothest coffee~ :3

    The scariest part about this is realizing I am doing drink training for Starbucks next week and it's going to be exactly like Arin fumbling to make an order

      Hopefully your training experience goes well. Just remember to take your time and ask questions when you’re unsure, especially at first. 👍

    I started my barista job today, and I can't wait to run around like Arin did.
