Soda Jerk Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hot Chocolate is fantastic. I never had any idea that it's not considered a drink for a strong burly all american hero type like myself.I always thought that too. Going back to ca_gere's dick-swinging pet hate, I imagine many a debate has taken place about Hot Chocolate, where one boasts he can drink a whole bucket of it through his own nostrils, and then the other claims to eat a spoonful of cocoa and then poor the scalding hot milk into his mouth straight from the stove.

Soda Jerk Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I hate how I suddenly felt so comfortable after just undoing my belt and top button on my jeans. In need of a bit more exercise i think.Probably from all the chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I'm going to identify beer as the prime culprit but chocolate has been an influential accomplice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeno Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Why the fuck would you use chocolate sauce to make a mocha? A mocha is basically a chocolate cappuccino, so it should be frothed hot chocolate - with powder. None of this syrup shite. Syrup portions are bad in the coffee industry like, some folk think that because you can't taste it in the first sip as it's settled then you need to use heaps I hate all this "make a little chocolate paste and add hot milk", get the steam arm dirty, it's totally worth it.A mocha is variant of a latte. I would be shot to pieces in an audit if it had as much foam as a cappucino. I need to go to your place and try a mocha then. I've never seen any place do it that way even though it is the 'proper' italian way. Chocolate sauce is a HUGE upgrade over syrups though. We physically couldn't do that in our shops though, hot chocolate is not made on the steam arm. It's a struggle enough to do things to company standards as it is. Customer is supposed to be served in 60 seconds, yet we are also supposed to weigh cappucinos to see if they are to standard (ie too heavy = not enough foam, too light = too much foam). I'm so glad I don't work in a big chain where they have 1 person on each section though. At least when I get an order I make it myself then charge the customer, no faffing around with orders getting queued/delayed and messed up as has happened many times when I have ordered drinks from a big chain.Actual pet hate = the coffee audits we have to do. Our cappucinos are supposed to be weighed in a 20g window. That's a tiny amount of fluid. Less than a tablespoon. Even the shop ran by the woman who trains 'senior baristas' failed the last audit! The guy who is responsible for coffee standards in our company is an Italian who won the European Barista of the Year thing before. He knows his stuff and his improved our coffee blend so much since he started, but the standards he expects from staff are beyond the capabilites of most robots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabbage Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 pet hate: Hot chocolate always fills me with disapointment, as a child I must have imagined a cup of hot chocolate would consist of a bar of chocolate melted until it could be drunk, thus everytime I have a cup of real world hot chocolate I get reminded that it is just watery chocolate flavoured powder.When I'm in charge I'll enforce that change to hot chocolate makes world wide and carry out the most stringent of hot chocolate audits to confirm compliance.I'll probably still just drink tea though.

Flights Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I hate how folk who pour hot drinks for a living are called a barista. Everyone else's job title is a description of what they do, Plumber, waiter etc. However these high end fuck jobs have to be called something 'cool'. My granny makes tea and coffee all the time but she's nae a barista. I also hate it how people think it's a profession. You combine hot water and coffee beans/teabags. What a tough demanding job. What a load of wank.LOOK AT THIS WANK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also by your logic, plumber and waiter would be called 'pipe fixer' and 'food delivery guy'. You pretencious fuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
