Daily Tasks and Responsibilities of a Coffee Apprentice

As a coffee apprentice, I have a series of tasks and responsibilities every day. These tasks cover the entire process from preparing coffee ingredients to making exquisite coffee. Below is a detailed introduction to my daily work.

Preparation

Every morning, I start by doing the preparation work. This includes cleaning and checking all coffee machines and equipment, making sure they are functioning properly and clean. Then, I check the inventory of all the required materials and replenish any shortages.

Next, I will make a reasonable plan for the amount of coffee beans to be used based on the expected customer flow that day, and weigh and grind them into powder suitable for different types of coffee drinks.

Make customer orders

When customers place an order, my task is to prepare their drinks based on the type of drink they choose and their taste preferences. This requires knowledge of various types, recipes and techniques as well as the use of specific machine operating methods.

When making coffee drinks, I need to master precise measurement and adjustment techniques to ensure that each cup of coffee has a consistent taste and quality. In addition, I also need to pay attention to details such as milk foam concentration, temperature and color.

Cleaning and Maintenance

In addition to making coffee drinks, I am also responsible for cleaning and maintenance work. This includes regularly cleaning machines, equipment and work areas and keeping them clean. At the same time, I also have to regularly check whether the equipment is working properly and repair or replace damaged parts in a timely manner.

In addition, after the busy period, I will clean and disinfect all used cups and utensils and put them back in their proper places for next use.

Customer Service

Besides making coffee drinks and cleaning, another important part of my job is to provide excellent customer service. This includes friendly conversation with customers and answering their questions about coffee types and flavor choices.

During busy periods or unexpected situations (such as equipment failure), I need to remain calm and respond flexibly to ensure customer satisfaction and experience.

Learning and progress

As a coffee apprentice, it is also one of my responsibilities to continuously learn and improve my skills. I will use my free time at work to expand my knowledge by reading relevant books, articles or watching educational videos, and communicate and learn from other experienced baristas.

Additionally, I attend training courses or seminars to learn about the latest coffee trends, techniques, and innovations and apply them to my work.

Summarize

As a coffee apprentice, my daily tasks include preparation, making customer orders, cleaning and maintenance, and providing quality customer service. Through continuous learning and improvement, I hope to become an excellent barista and provide every customer with a delicious and exquisite coffee experience.
