Baristas Share Bizarre and Complicated Coffee Orders
In a recent Twitter thread, baristas have been sharing some of the most ridiculously complicated and borderline dangerous coffee orders they have ever received. The thread, initiated by @INTERNETM1LF, highlighted an order for 30 shots of espresso with 30 pumps of white mocha, prompting other baristas to share their own experiences with bizarre orders.
One barista recounted their experience with a customer who ordered a half-caf cappuccino at a very specific temperature, which seemed overly fussy and high maintenance. However, this pales in comparison to some of the orders shared in the thread, which included multiple shots of espresso and extensive modifications that pushed the limits of what is feasible and safe to prepare.
These stories underscore the challenges baristas face in meeting the diverse and sometimes extreme preferences of their customers. While some orders may seem trivial, they can significantly impact the barista’s workload and the overall customer experience.
The thread has sparked a broader discussion about customer expectations and the boundaries of what can be reasonably asked of baristas. It also highlights the creativity and patience required to handle such complex orders.
