You guys have got it all wrong..............................................
If you want great coffee at work , you need to do what I did.
You buy a Coffee Club franchise for between $500,000.00 (very basic store) to $1,000,000.00+ , then you employ 23 staff.
Then,.....................you make sure that you have the best baristas you can find.
Then you learn how to backwash, clean and maintain very high standards with the machine.
Then you retrain the baristas ( they are all premadonnas ) in how to dose the group heads correctly, heat the milk to the correct temp and texture, and time the pour to make sure it is in spec.
Then they must be able to pour the milk into the cup correctly to get the right consistency and leave a perfect pattern on top , all free hand of course. ( no spoons )
Then, and only then, do you come to work at 5.30 in the morning to set the store up. Once this is done and all the outside tables and chairs are out etc, etc , you will have a very nice coffee waiting on the counter for you to drink. Made by you very own professional Barista.
We actually do have some very , very good ones, and get heaps of very favorable comments on our coffees. A very large repeat business confirms this. Sadly, some are outstanding, some are great, and some are just good.
What can you do,.......................................................I know,........................sell the b*&%$# store and buy a better Ducati!
