I feel you somehow.. If I can get my latte heart on point at home, I would consider to work in a coffee shop that uses locally roasted coffee or a roaster.
Hey there! I was a partner with Starbucks for 2 years and some change before transitioning out to work at a small family business in my home town. It can be done! Also the fact that you've worked for Starbucks shouldn't be something to shy away from; if you can handle that working environment, you can manage at *any* specialty cafe. Starbucks is crazy busy all the time, not to mention the stringent cleaning standards and ridiculous drink recipes... Working where I do know is way, way easier.
@@Boodieman72 its not really. They have nearly every traditional espresso drink available, and any that are missing (excluding espresso tonic) can be made after a short conversation with a barista. They've *also* got a more... inspired menu when it comes to sugary variants on the classics, I.E. lattes, cold brew, iced coffee, you know. But Fraps? No. Those aren't coffee, those are dessert. I don't think blended beverages really bring anything to the table, specialty coffee or otherwise. I see it as a completely different medium; if you're blending it, it isn't coffee anymore. 😅
@@jasmintea8825 you can ween yourself on to coffee by starting with heavily flavoured drinks, then gradually stripping back on the flavourings. It's worth it lol
I hate the taste of coffee (yes, I’ve tried many kinds of coffee drinks) and I’m super sensitive to caffeine so I can’t drink coffee. I wish I could though because I love the vibe of just chilling and sipping on a cup of coffee. I try to replicate this in the evening with herbal tea lol.
"Hold my latte" can be understood different in Germany. Latte means latch and is also used for boner :P Sorry, but when I read "Hold my latte", I had to grin and share this with you. :)
I have an interview at a coffee shop in 16 hours and have now watched this 6 times this week. I watched this video when it came out and am so glad I remembered it’s existence
OMG, I've just realized that "cortado" in the US means something completely different than here, in Argentina (and I think that I may include a lot of South American countries as well). If you ask for a "cortado" in Argentina, it will be almost all coffee with a little bit of milk. We call it that way cause you "cut" (cortado is "cutted in spanish) the coffee with a bit of milk. What you call "cortado" here it will be "café con Leche".
Interesting! In Spain, a cafe con leche is a latte! Slightly different to the one described here, it's steamed (and usually burnt lol) milk in a tall glass that's very wet (i.e. very little foam).
Cortado is always coffee with a little milk. Most speciality coffee shops ruined macchiatos and cortados because they add way too much milk to make latte art
Well, as a Barista in Colombia, we have, Cortado as a Espresso with a little bit of milk and a Latte Cortado, wich is literally de oposal, also exists with Macchiato, but, different proportions
Just thought I’d leave this here as a suggestion. It looks like your chocolate powder, cinnamon and nutmeg are coming out of your shakers very slowly. If you add caster sugar (in a 1:1 ratio or less) into a container and mix it up then put it in your shakers it will break up the bigger clumps of chocolate powder that are clogging up your shakers. I find it helps heaps during rush hour and improves efficiency heaps. (Hope that all made sense). Love your videos tho 👌👌
Wouldn't that dilute the amount of chocolate or cinnamon powder coming out? So essentially you're adding cinnamon sugar instead of just cinnamon. It makes sense, but some people don't want added sugar.
That’s true. Some shakers have finer meshes tho so the sugar might not pass through. Larger things like rice also work if you don’t want the sugar. Sugar is just what my cafe uses.
Also tapping the side with the index and/or middle finger of the hand holding the shaker makes an easier and more even shake with more control. Might take a little practice, but it works with spices when cooking too!
I used to get so intimidated. Once I even asked the guy taking my order what he suggested since it was a hole in the wall kind of place, and he just looked at me and said “what do you mean.” LIKE DUDE HELP ME THATS WHAT I MEAN IS THAT REALLY SO HARD 😂
As a barista at starbucks, one of the most stressful parts of my job are usually because a customer didn’t know what they ordered, or a customer held up the line because they needed me to explain the entire menu. Thank you, everyone thats watching this video so they can get the right drink the first time!
I have never been a barista, but I spent several young years waiting tables. If I am ever struggling to decide what to order, I let the person behind me go first. I don't like to keep people waiting and I do not want to stress out the employee because I have been there.
I really wish more people would see this video. Back when I was a barista, I got orders such as a flat white with the milk separate, when they actually wanted an Americano and then wondered where the rest of their coffee was; and a customer who was adamant he wanted a cappuccino with no forth and would not accept that this was a latte, yet was very happy when I just made him a latte and sprinkled some cocoa on top.
It's a mix, some people really do just want very strange things, other times they just have no clue what they're getting. Several people have complained that a machiatto was tiny and they expected a full drink (presumably they bought it because it was cheaper or it sounded cooler). An americano with no water and steamed milk (maybe trying to game the price, maybe just clueless). A latte with chocolate but *not* a mocha.
@@hunterm9 And you can never tell which is which until they get the drink and either look satisfied or confused. And you cannot insult them by asking, 'Is that *really* what you want?'
They’re probably confused about the macchiato because starbucks sells full sized (like a normal cup) macchiatos. I remember I went to Peet’s Coffee once and ordered a macchiato and the barista said “just so you know, macchiatos are actually tiny, Starbucks makes them different”. And I legitimately had no idea up until that point.
This actually helps me a lot, I recently found this kinda hidden away coffee shop & i didn’t know what the order, this saves me from so many awkward situations I could get into.
I love the way this is filmed!!! I’m a beginner barista and although I can make most of these drinks, I can’t do the latte art anywhere near as nicely as you do!! Working on it☺️☺️ my fave drink is definitely an oat milk cappuccino !!
Me confidently orders Double Ristretto Venti Half-Soy Nonfat Organic Chocolate Brownie Iced Vanilla Double-Shot Gingerbread Frappuccino Extra Hot With Foam Whipped Cream Upside Down Double Blended, One Sweet'N Low and One Nutrasweet "ma'am this is MacDonald"
A mocha was my first coffee drink too and it's the only coffee combination I drink unless there's some lavender or a mocha mint option. I love the hot coco comparison because when its cold I always think of if you combined chocolate milk with coffee, this is what you would get. Cold brew is magical for homemade iced coffee.
I really love your vocab and descriptions here! I got my knowledge from being quickly and informally trained at multiple shops over several years and there are some things I never knew how to describe to confused customers. Thank you for your education! OAT MILK IS THE FUTURE

Thank you so much for this fun and informative video. Personally, I love the Caramel Macchiato, Cold Brew, and Chai Latte! I remember the local barista suggesting that I get Vanilla Latte with a non-dairy milk over caramel macchiato because of my lactose intolerance.
@@smiley8117 Yeah "chai tea" would be "tea tea" and that sounds funny xD As a matter of fact "chai" is also the word that Russians use for tea as well :D
I highly recommend trying out a London Fog Latte. It’s like a chai but made with earl gray and vanilla syrup instead of black tea and chai spice! Very underrated!!!
Thank you for this! I usually just get a latte or cappuccino because half the other drinks are a mystery to me 😅. I might have to experiment whenever I can get to a cafe next
Oh! My first ever barista made coffee was also a Mocha but it was a White Chocolate Mocha and still love it. I don't get it often as my usual order now is an Americano with a bit of double cream or Flat White (very similar to Cortado). I've worked as a barista for nearly 7 years before my maternity leave and I truly miss making coffee. Love your video, thanks for the nostalgia. ❤️ Love from Czech Republic 🇨🇿🖤☕️
I was about to nap. The music is relaxing and Morgan has a soothing voice. I also am crying because I miss going to shops and talking to the beautiful local barista girl.
Yup what she had for a cappuccino was definitely an Aussie flat white, Aussie cappuccinos are usually thicker and more textured than what she had. we also have a different style for the hot late milk too
That is what I was taught as well. Flat white are traditionally from Australia with foam less than a cappuccino. We also make american "macchiatos" with thicker foam and then cappuccinos that are pretty much all foam and seen as more of a dessert. But eh. Its coffee.
Towkeeyoh yeah I’d nearly always consider either the Australian or Italian terms and beverages the standard as they’re both the best and most fleshed out in the world
Wow thanks for this usually when I'm in a coffee shop in England I take like 3 mins to chosse when I'm at the till sit hanks for the help keep up the great work
this was amazing. i honestly didn't know that most of these drinks were relatively tue same with varying amounts of milk. this honestly makes ordering coffee less intimidating. thank you.
The first time I went to a Starbucks (10+ years ago) I was so nervous and just ordered the first thing I saw. Turns out I ordered a cup of steamed milk. JUST STEAMED MILK! For a while I wondered why no one questioned my order but years later I now understand that people order the most random things, at coffeeshops.
I always learned that a latte, without any changes like extra shots or whatever, was 1/3 espresso and 2/3 steamed milk, and a cappuccino was 1/3 espresso, ~1/3 steamed milk, and ~1/3 foam, more or less depending on how they order it, it seems like you guys just do a smaller latte? Like you said it definitely differs but I haven’t seen that version really! (Not that I’ve been enough places or worked at enough places to be an expert lol, just unusual for what I’m used to!) great video though!!
My parents owned a coffee shop and pretty much did that ratio. We would put a divider over the pitch we when pouring the steamed milk out to leave the foam which you put on top
Often latte will be served in a latte glass (~8oz), so it has a bit more milk because the volume is larger than the ceramic cup (~6oz). So, you're right, their latte seems a bit smaller than normal. I would imagine some guests would find their latte strong if they are using 2oz coffee in the ceramic cup. Edit: Just wanted to say this lady making the coffee though is a pro! Especially her reminding everyone that there's no wrong way to do it. So many "experts" on UA-cam trying to overcomplicate when they don't even understand the basics.
videos like this seriously make me wanna cry because i get so anxious about visiting new coffee shops (ive only ever regularly been to starbucks) so having such a clear guide is just 🥺🤟🏻💕
Aussie and kiwi. We can share it. We definitely had it first (melb coffee from Italian immigrant community > coffee culture today) but kiwis picked it up fast because they have the same excellent taste as Aussies 👍🏻
Very helpful, I always feel out of place when at new coffee shops and have a hard time trying new things. I appreciate this video, now I feel more confident trying new types of coffee.
Most baristas don’t recommend an espresso over ice just because it “shocks” the espresso, and doesn’t taste all that great. I highly recommend an iced Americano! You can ask to add just a little water - by adding the espresso to a little bit of water, and then putting it over ice, it keeps the integrity of the espresso a lot better. But hey, maybe you’ll like it just right over ice! It’s always nice to experiment, especially when drinking different types of espresso/going to different shops.
It’s probably appropriate to say that knowing how to order any food or drink pays homage to the culture it hails from. It’s easy to forget that modern coffee shops owe it all to their Italian roots since coffee is so big in western society. So making sure you know how to order not only makes for a better culinary experience but also pays respect to the culture behind it.
Ok kinda want to go to a coffee shop and try every drink on the menu. I love how this video was kind of like you were serving us at your coffee shop!! 😋
I used to work at a small cafe for 6 months and this video sums up all my barista knowledge. Thank you you introducing the macchiato in a tiny cup as it should be. The number of customers who were mad at me, not knowing it was this small, was astronomical. Question for a Starbucks Barrista: Why your macchiato are so big? Is it just a latte with the macchiato etiquette?
yeah the starbucks macchiato is just a backwards latte. it's a pretty drink at least? i just started drinking coffee a year ago but i would like to try a traditional macchiato, they sound lovely. i just don't go to "real" cafés enough lol
Mines is an Iced Hazelnut Latte with almond milk, and if there's a place that has Oat milk, I'll have it with that. With a couple packets of stevia, ranging from two to four depending on how sweet the drink is.
This is the perfect video for something i never considered looking into! I tend to stay within the flat white/latte/cap safe drink area, but now i might have to journey further out
I don’t really like coffee but lord I love making latte art and other pretty drinks for other people. One of the joys in coffee making, I think, is seeing other people enjoy your creations. + my latte art is still not that good, but it’s getting better ! I’m considering working at a cafe at some point, as a part time job
Coming from an Asian country where our coffee culture is so different from western coffee culture, this was SO helpful! Saves me a lot of time Googling what each order on the menu is while waiting in the line!
For the Americano: in that order would be a long black no? Americano would be first espresso shot then water? I mean it's almost the same thing 😅 but you know 😂
Thank you for an informative and interesting video explaining cafe/ espresso type of drinks. it encourage me to try a specialty cafe/ coffee shop and tried a standard latte without sugar in and it was very pleasant. again Thank You.
This is so helpful! Every coffee place needs this video to help us who don't know the specifics. I'm a mocha person but trying to find a keto version of it. Now I know why the Americano isn't as rich as I like.
I went to starbucks once before knowing the difference of cappuccino and Frappuccino and ordered a cappuccino I was slightly disappointed but didn’t wanna say anything
Starbucks barista here - that happens at least a few times a week on drive-thru - it's why whenever anyone says cappuccino I repeat the question in disbelief, then repeat again while explaining the difference, and more often than not the milkshake is what the costumers wanted.
Yeah, I’m in Canada and flat whites aren’t super popular here. Usually the crowd that orders them are travelling in from Europe/Australia or are looking for the Starbucks version of the flat white.
As a New Zealander they’re my go-to but I’ve had them in the USA and Canada and they were not good 😩 I’m sure there’s cafes and baristas that can do them well all over the world, but the best one I’ve had overseas was made by an Australian barista in Canada 😅
Everytime I watch Videos about Coffee I have to make myself Something with Coffee. I watched about 8 Videos today and therefore drank way too much Espresso.
Wait, in those situations, people dont just choose randomly???
I've been doing this wrong all my life
Same
That’s what I do lol I just guess something is gonna be nice
Fr i always used to say random stuff when they asked what i wanted in my iced coffee
Me 100% despite standing in the line for 20 minutes
People dont realise they can ask for suggestions?
Me : practises to order 5 times before I order.
Also me: uh.. I want, uh... I would like a coppee, I mean a coffee , a cappuccino .
Haha fr
Same lmao
Lmfaoo 😂😭
bruh the struggle is too real
Then comes questions like iced or hot and what you want in it or as topping and we're like; hum yes please.
Me, a Starbucks barista, watching this and wishing I could make real coffee like this
I mean, I'm sure you could apply for a "real" barista job & get it. Go follow your dreams lol
Starbucks is about as far away from real coffee as possible.

Just thought I’d leave this here as a suggestion. It looks like your chocolate powder, cinnamon and nutmeg are coming out of your shakers very slowly. If you add caster sugar (in a 1:1 ratio or less) into a container and mix it up then put it in your shakers it will break up the bigger clumps of chocolate powder that are clogging up your shakers.

videos like this seriously make me wanna cry because i get so anxious about visiting new coffee shops (ive only ever regularly been to starbucks) so having such a clear guide is just 🥺🤟🏻💕
Where’s the flat white, the quintessential kiwi coffee?
It’s Australian???
Aussie and kiwi. We can share it. We definitely had it first (melb coffee from Italian immigrant community > coffee culture today) but kiwis picked it up fast because they have the same excellent taste as Aussies 👍🏻
Its just a small latte with double shot :)
what is flat white, piccolo called in the rest of world? How about affagato..
@@tubbyisnofatty and South Africa 👀
Very helpful, I always feel out of place when at new coffee shops and have a hard time trying new things. I appreciate this video, now I feel more confident trying new types of coffee.
the way you filmed this video is HEAVENLY!! all the shots are soo pretty💕
Morgan: "all of the thing's I've mentioned can be iced"
Me: I wonder what an iced espresso would taste like :P
Delicious actually. You'll just wanna add sugar probably
Most baristas don’t recommend an espresso over ice just because it “shocks” the espresso, and doesn’t taste all that great. I highly recommend an iced Americano! You can ask to add just a little water - by adding the espresso to a little bit of water, and then putting it over ice, it keeps the integrity of the espresso a lot better. But hey, maybe you’ll like it just right over ice! It’s always nice to experiment, especially when drinking different types of espresso/going to different shops.
I usually have one if I need a quick pick me up before a rush. I'd recommend maybe a pump of chocolate though if you want to sip and enjoy though
Jake Stockstill mocha makes everything better in my humble opinion. lol
these comments are conflicting
We almost had an episode of MorganSpillsCoffee here
Something about her voice is just so calming and bright(?) idk but i did my homework while listening to this and i feel exceptionally calm wow
The latte art in this video is SO good!
It’s probably appropriate to say that knowing how to order any food or drink pays homage to the culture it hails from. It’s easy to forget that modern coffee shops owe it all to their Italian roots since coffee is so big in western society. So making sure you know how to order not only makes for a better culinary experience but also pays respect to the culture behind it.
Americano best coffeedrink for me
Absolutely love this video! And the comments are amazing! ☺️😋
Ok kinda want to go to a coffee shop and try every drink on the menu. I love how this video was kind of like you were serving us at your coffee shop!! 😋
For the fellow introverts 😌
I used to work at a small cafe for 6 months and this video sums up all my barista knowledge. Thank you you introducing the macchiato in a tiny cup as it should be. The number of customers who were mad at me, not knowing it was this small, was astronomical.
Question for a Starbucks Barrista: Why your macchiato are so big? Is it just a latte with the macchiato etiquette?
yeah the starbucks macchiato is just a backwards latte. it's a pretty drink at least? i just started drinking coffee a year ago but i would like to try a traditional macchiato, they sound lovely. i just don't go to "real" cafés enough lol
as someone who doesn't know anything about coffee drinks but loves coffee, i appreciate this video more than words can say
Beautifully well done vid right here. Thank you. My days of disappointing the folks I cherish most are now over.
You are so so so ADORABLE!! a Chanel devoted to coffee? HECK YEAH!!!
My go to is always an Iced Caramel Latte.
That one's really good!
Mines is an Iced Hazelnut Latte with almond milk, and if there's a place that has Oat milk, I'll have it with that. With a couple packets of stevia, ranging from two to four depending on how sweet the drink is.
Okay this really helped me, i’ve never really had coffee a lot but i think i’ll go with a mocha, i’ve tried then and i like it! Thanks Morgan. 😊
This is the perfect video for something i never considered looking into! I tend to stay within the flat white/latte/cap safe drink area, but now i might have to journey further out
i have adhd and this kept my attention the entire time, do u guys have any suggestions on videos like this?
For a completely different topic set I recommend technology connections, he seems to always hold my attention

This is also a good one :)

Follow nailea devora... she's fun!
when she brought out that cappuccino, i swear to god i smelled freshly brewed coffee for a split second before the sensation was gone
Very informative and relaxing! I also love a mocha and if they have it, coconut milk makes it into a whole new experience.
That mocha with the cocoa powder looks so good!
never actually paid attention to how SMALL your shop is
My favorite order "One of everything please" At least for the purposes of this video.
I don’t really like coffee but lord I love making latte art and other pretty drinks for other people. One of the joys in coffee making, I think, is seeing other people enjoy your creations.
+ my latte art is still not that good, but it’s getting better ! I’m considering working at a cafe at some point, as a part time job
Coming from an Asian country where our coffee culture is so different from western coffee culture, this was SO helpful! Saves me a lot of time Googling what each order on the menu is while waiting in the line!
For the Americano: in that order would be a long black no? Americano would be first espresso shot then water?
I mean it's almost the same thing 😅 but you know 😂
Where is my flat white 😣
Morgan Dear your videos are just so delightful. Congratulations on your engagement by the way!
Thank you for an informative and interesting video explaining cafe/ espresso type of drinks. it encourage me to try a specialty cafe/ coffee shop and tried a standard latte without sugar in and it was very pleasant. again Thank You.
My anxiety when Graham went to open the door with the same hand he had the drink in:📈
“Coffee please”.
these videos are so calming 😍
This is so helpful! Every coffee place needs this video to help us who don't know the specifics. I'm a mocha person but trying to find a keto version of it. Now I know why the Americano isn't as rich as I like.
I was ordering latte and cappuccino for 3 years of high school to not look like a feeak or be annoying to the barista.
I'm an exmormon and coffee has always been so confusing since I didn't grow up with it, thank you for making this!!!
Thank you!!! I work at a coffee shop and I know first hand that this will help a lot of people!
Iced vanilla latte is my go to ♥️
I went to starbucks once before knowing the difference of cappuccino and Frappuccino and ordered a cappuccino I was slightly disappointed but didn’t wanna say anything
Starbucks barista here - that happens at least a few times a week on drive-thru - it's why whenever anyone says cappuccino I repeat the question in disbelief, then repeat again while explaining the difference, and more often than not the milkshake is what the costumers wanted.
No flat white? Maybe it's not as common in the US
Yeah, I’m in Canada and flat whites aren’t super popular here. Usually the crowd that orders them are travelling in from Europe/Australia or are looking for the Starbucks version of the flat white.
As a New Zealander they’re my go-to but I’ve had them in the USA and Canada and they were not good 😩 I’m sure there’s cafes and baristas that can do them well all over the world, but the best one I’ve had overseas was made by an Australian barista in Canada 😅
@@PhoebeGrigor Australian coffee culture is fantastic so I'm not surprised. Would love to have the chance to travel there one day
Lol I'm a barista in Sweden and we have flat white..
even though i have knowledge about most of these drinks i continue watching cause it’s so calming 🥺
This is the most helpful video I’ve ever watched. Thank you! 😊😊
Everytime I watch Videos about Coffee I have to make myself Something with Coffee. I watched about 8 Videos today and therefore drank way too much Espresso.
This is very ZEN 🤔
I don't even like lattes anymore but changing my order after over 10 years just scares me.
You should probably discuss it in your next therapy session 😅😂😇
Your videos put me on a coffee cloud. You're wonderful.
I love this video so much. Very informative & dare I say it, peaceful to watch :) love your content!!
