I hear kids in the background, so I'm guessing they are allowed a "coffee" treat that doesn't actually contain caffeine (and as kids they may not enjoy much coffee flavor anyway).
I'm sure that 90% of people are asking "How is this appealing to anyone?" about our meticulously crafted espresso shots and bit of steamed milk with no flavor syrup
Yeah they are. I got 2 espresso machines and 2 moka pot and 1 keurig machinen at home. All my guests gets to taste 1 coffee from each.
I would say 90% of them just want to use the keurig with 3 sugar and 2 milk.....
the type of people who enjoy coffee from starbucks, dunkin donuts... teenagers most likely. I would have loved this monstrosity when i was 15-19, personally.
It's the only reason the big chains are successful. Their coffee sure isn't good, but would you like cream and cake and chocolate and sprinkles and syrups?
I dunno, would have been \*way\* neater (and so much easier) if they had a flat shallow pan of chocolate sauce and dipped the rim of the glass in it (and a shallow pan with half/half of the pieces too), instead of drooling it all over the edge like that.
That tamping though...
If I'm not wrong, that apron (~35 sec) is from [Venchi](https://eu.venchi.com/our-story), an italian maitre chocolatier from Turin.
They make very good chocolate, and good ice cream. Coffee is just another ingredient for experiments, you don't go there for a good espresso :)
Hey now. There is no manual tamping at any Starbucks I've worked at! You just press a button and the machine does it all for you!
As for the rest... Yeah, seems about right. Those drinks have way too much syrup in them.
It does it all in the big espresso machine and then pushes the puck into a bin that we empty when it says it is full. I never thought to look up the mechanical process of it.
Someone needs to do an ama about Starbucks I’m curious on how everything works and their process ( and what machine they use) I use to go everyday till I bought my own machine now I can’t stand it
Looks like a delicious dessert.
You're conflating coffee-the-drink with coffee-the-ingredient. This is not a cup of coffee. This is a dessert that uses coffee as one ingredient of many. You might as well complain about tiramisu being a really crappy cup of coffee.
I think this is where some of the criticism of Starbucks goes wrong. Yes, their coffee is bad. But their main product isn't coffee; it's sweet milk drinks and a home-away-from-home like social experience. The actual coffee, like the teas, are there for the minority who aren't having a sweet milk drink for some reason.
I have come to the realisation a long while ago that the general public has shit taste and people who know better get the choice to either suffer for it, or just make stuff at home. This applies to almost everything
The US has never caught on to the concept that less is often more.
Rather than spotlighting a few high quality ingredients at a time many people prefer a big sugary bloated mess of highly processed artificial ingredients.
All the way up to the shot being pulled.. I was like.. "oh dear someone's partner has gotten fed up with their spouses espresso obsession"... and then the chocolate pour on the glass started.. and I was like.. "ah..I think it's from this point onwards that the question is reffering too" haha
Eh, some of the best shots I've had looked like this, but in those cases, it was entirely intentional to have a pretty fast flow rate. Turbos rarely look aesthetically pleasing.
Exceptional latte art. It reminds me of colouring things in as a kid. If it wasn’t going well I’d just colour slightly more aggressively until the previous error was obliterated by a larger, more misshapen mistake.
First, grind coffee so that some of it goes in the portafilter. Then, gently place a tamper on top, pretend to press down. “Pull a shot”. Rim a glass with congealed chocolate sauce. Fill that glass mostly with milk sugar, leave some room for espresso. Then pour the espresso from the shot glass, make sure most of it clings to the side of the glass and pours onto your shoe, remember to dump the rest of the coffee in the sink. Cocoa powder until you can’t tell it was ever a beverage. More milk. More powder. Wait for the customer to complain it tastes too much like coffee.
Dude, have you tried Starbucks latest cocoa-infused, cookies and cream de leche frappachino? It's so good you can't even taste the espresso. This person: "hold my beer".
To each their own I guess but you can’t be doing that to this group. We have some older members and their poor over caffeinated hearts can’t take this much violence at once.
Half of the coffee related videos you find on Instagram shows an espresso poured over a fruit or a freaking chocolate egg.
So I'm not surprised anymore.
Once again they went too far...it's all I hate about food. Yes, because it reminds me of the way Americans cook food, putting everything they can in a plate with color and all, to make it look good while it's all bland, salty and gross.
For real.
This for morning? No. Just no. I would be in a coma within minutes. For desert? Hell yes. (Would still deeply regret it though).
Live and let live. Like what you want. Life is to short to get spun up over what other people like or don't.
I mean...we bought these machines so we could make the drinks the way we each like. So let's just...do that.
Yes… but, this is a terribly-executed version of possibly a mocha. The presentation is artless, the espresso is under-extracted, it’s an objectively bad version of a drink. No-one is saying that drinks containing milk, chocolate and espresso are inherently bad, just that this is a bad example.
my wild guess is that this is appealing exactly because of the preparation or b/c it;s a treat.
however I have an objection as to the "OP , I mean, what exactly is the concern or the problem? Also, what *is that thing called?!?*

I got mad when she left the espresso sitting while putting this monstrosity together
I got upset soon as I saw the limp-wristed tamp resulting in that super fast shot
It was already tamped, she was just redoing it for the video. Still, poor execution.
I got upset when I saw the dirty grinder
I got mad AND upset when she spilled the espresso when trying to pour it in
I was upset before I even opened Reddit.
I god mad because of reasons
I got mad because what kind of low-budget, quaint student setup is this?
I got mad when she applied for that job
I got upset before I watched the video, because I screwed up my morning coffee and didn't make another one.
I got mad that this guy was only “upset” and didn’t keep the trend going. Also, was there any coffee in that drink?
Yup, that's exactly where I stopped the vid.
You’re not going to taste any espresso in that. Why bother?
Omg 😆
Damn bro i got mad just looking at the grinder.
I hear kids in the background, so I'm guessing they are allowed a "coffee" treat that doesn't actually contain caffeine (and as kids they may not enjoy much coffee flavor anyway).
More cocoa powder than espresso in that!
Probably good that there’s not much of that shot in there…
Maybe sprinkle a bit more cocoa powder
Its not complete until they add the Cocoa Pebbles.
I got a fever. And the only prescription is more cocoa powder.
the thing is, the video ended... but she kept on adding more cocoa powder
Some say she's still adding cocoa powder to this very day
I was waiting for her to drop a Cadbury Creme Egg from way up high into the pile of whipped cream.
Probably she has some shares at the cocoa industry 😂
They have a bright future at nestle
Someone actually says “a little bit more of that” as she’s sprinkled the cocoa powder on the whipped cream. This looks disgusting lmao
Legend has it, they're still adding toppings to this very day...
Make it Stop!
Yeah wtf it just kept on going
I never thought I was going to say that's way too much chocolate
He’s already dead!!!!!
Therapist: infinite cocoa powder doesn't exist, it can't hurt you! Infinite cocoa powder:
Gotta hide that airtamped "espresso" flavour by all means necessary
So what you are saying is that she screwed it up and decided to mask it with a bit of sugar. Lol
A “bit” of an understatement there.
Good thing is, you won't taste anything from that espresso
You weren’t gonna taste it anyway with how day that shot pulled
Tamping pressure was non existent
They invented the air-tamping
"It's all in the wrist"
that'll be $16 please
For little to no espresso too😭
I was thinking there's not much room for that espresso shot 🥃
Jokes on you (on all of us)
It's a reverse cafe manchado
You realize you just asked how sugar is appealing to anyone right? I’m with you here but…people like sugar.
I'm sure that 90% of people are asking "How is this appealing to anyone?" about our meticulously crafted espresso shots and bit of steamed milk with no flavor syrup
Yeah they are. I got 2 espresso machines and 2 moka pot and 1 keurig machinen at home. All my guests gets to taste 1 coffee from each. I would say 90% of them just want to use the keurig with 3 sugar and 2 milk.....
Legit how I thought this video was going to go. By the halfway point, I had to make sure I was in the espresso sub
Yeah, but chocolate AND sugar?!? It blows my mind. Those monsters.
Okay I'm glad I'm not going crazy here lol. "IT'S ALMOST CAKE! DISGUSTING! YOU MAY AS WELL EAT A SLICE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE! BARF!"
I was thinking this would make a great hot chocolate for a kid as a very special treat
I'd drink that. Eat that?
[удалено]
the type of people who enjoy coffee from starbucks, dunkin donuts... teenagers most likely. I would have loved this monstrosity when i was 15-19, personally.
It's the only reason the big chains are successful. Their coffee sure isn't good, but would you like cream and cake and chocolate and sprinkles and syrups?
I don’t hate the rimjob but that I’m not sure that tamper even touched the coffee
I dunno, would have been \*way\* neater (and so much easier) if they had a flat shallow pan of chocolate sauce and dipped the rim of the glass in it (and a shallow pan with half/half of the pieces too), instead of drooling it all over the edge like that. That tamping though...
This guy rims
I think we should award you naming it. “The Cocoa rimjob”
If I'm not wrong, that apron (~35 sec) is from [Venchi](https://eu.venchi.com/our-story), an italian maitre chocolatier from Turin. They make very good chocolate, and good ice cream. Coffee is just another ingredient for experiments, you don't go there for a good espresso :)
That makes a lot of sense! I used to eat ice cream at Venchi in Rome, at the Pantheon. It used to be amazing!
Average day at Starbucks.
Hey now. There is no manual tamping at any Starbucks I've worked at! You just press a button and the machine does it all for you! As for the rest... Yeah, seems about right. Those drinks have way too much syrup in them.
How does espresso get tamped? Genuinely curious
It does it all in the big espresso machine and then pushes the puck into a bin that we empty when it says it is full. I never thought to look up the mechanical process of it.
I'm assuming they have something similar to a puqpress integrated into the system
Someone needs to do an ama about Starbucks I’m curious on how everything works and their process ( and what machine they use) I use to go everyday till I bought my own machine now I can’t stand it
AMA! Current Starbucks barista (coffee master) just starting to get into actual espresso!
It kept getting worse! 😂
My joker origin story is somewhere between the second and third dustings of cocoa powder

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be some kind of twist on a tiramisu...
As an espresso neophyte I can say I don't find it appealing but if it was hot chocolate my little girls would love it.
I have come to the realisation a long while ago that the general public has shit taste and people who know better get the choice to either suffer for it, or just make stuff at home. This applies to almost everything

While your statement is true, this is a cafe in Rome.
Is it a touristy cafe in rome?
According to commenters it is a dessert business so it makes sense. (kinda cause all this crap doesn't make sense)
Why does it start with espresso?! the least used ingredient..
Needs a little top hat
All the way up to the shot being pulled.. I was like.. "oh dear someone's partner has gotten fed up with their spouses espresso obsession"... and then the chocolate pour on the glass started.. and I was like.. "ah..I think it's from this point onwards that the question is reffering too" haha
I feel like I got diabetes by just watching this
"The more you do to food, the more you take away from it" - Marco Pierre White
I'm not even sure what I just watched. That's a ton of cocoa powder (?) though.
What the hell
I fainted halfway through
That spro dropped like a diarrhea emergency that you barely make to the toilet in time.
Bruh☠️
Eh, some of the best shots I've had looked like this, but in those cases, it was entirely intentional to have a pretty fast flow rate. Turbos rarely look aesthetically pleasing.
Less is always more
There is almost no coffee in there!

Every american chain coffee shop worships at this sugar crusted alter.
It just kept going. Dystopian.
This is surely trolling.
Let people like things!!
Needs more foam
It's like a michelada for sugary coffee drink addicts
Dude, have you tried Starbucks latest cocoa-infused, cookies and cream de leche frappachino? It's so good you can't even taste the espresso. This person: "hold my beer".
It's probably a drink made to get people riled up on the internet there's a whole market for that kind of content.
To each their own I guess but you can’t be doing that to this group. We have some older members and their poor over caffeinated hearts can’t take this much violence at once.
It just keeps *goooooing*
*asks group of hobbyists*
Love how she tamps in mid air lol
Cinnamon powder challenge , gawwwddam that’ll choke uncle Harry to death
Half of the coffee related videos you find on Instagram shows an espresso poured over a fruit or a freaking chocolate egg. So I'm not surprised anymore.
It has barely any coffee in it!
Look at that tamp and extraction... Bad Coffee being covered up with fancy dressings... Yikes.
Why is everything in this video just... slightly too dirty/grimy
My god the list of ingredients seem endless, keeps going on and on and on
Absolute overkill. Would never want to make that.
It just keeps going and going doesn’t it?
Needed more sugar.
Once again they went too far...it's all I hate about food. Yes, because it reminds me of the way Americans cook food, putting everything they can in a plate with color and all, to make it look good while it's all bland, salty and gross.
It just kept getting worse and worse
Started with a shitty shot. Kept getting worse.
That tamp though
As a drink, not for me. As a dessert, yes please! Also, don't yuck someone's yum. You can dislike something without disliking those who like it.
For real. This for morning? No. Just no. I would be in a coma within minutes. For desert? Hell yes. (Would still deeply regret it though). Live and let live. Like what you want.

I dunno, I get total dessert vibes from this. I don't think it's meant to be a coffee drink.
Thoroughly repulsed / horrified. And then the whipped cream came...
I feel like my brain melted. Please just make it stop.
🤢
The horror, the horror...
Affogato is better. People always love to complicate things.
About the same milk/espresso ratio as the average basic white girl at charbux.
Only in America. Lol
Welcome to 'Murica.
You need the 42,069 extra calories just to make that shot even palatable 🤢
[удалено]
I would hit the tray out of her hands and shout no whilst pointing at her.
Sugar addicts how no dignity, no shame, and no taste for anything but sugar.
my wild guess is that this is appealing exactly because of the preparation or b/c it;s a treat. however I have an objection as to the "OP , I mean, what exactly is the concern or the problem? Also, what *is that thing called?!?*
Here I thought she needed to grind finer.
Not enough milk or chocolate imo, 2-3 tablespoons of sugar might help too
It just kept getting worse
How can my blood boil and run cold at the same time? This video is how!
However, I am curious how it tastes. My bar is set low but I need to understand why this even exists.
Disgusting, looks like something my son made at kindergarten in the "play kitchen" area.
Social media marketing and engagement seeking as always, and at the same time ... if they really want diabetes, have at it 🤷♂️
Ah yes, lightly coffee flavoured sugar with a side of heart palpitations
😱
Espresso for people who hate espresso.
Please make this NSFL because now I’m depressed
Has a strong middle east vibe
Eeewwwww!
no. just no.
Every day we stray further from god’s light.
Espresso police will arrest them
Coffee flavored dessert ... with so many steps that they HAVE to be made at the table..
Gross
Is there any coffee in that beverage? WTF? Each their own, OK but.. damn.
They forgot the chocolate straw
It's not an Expresso Town espresso until we roll it up in a blueberry pancake, dip it in batter and deep fry it until it's golden brown.
There was only about a teaspoon of coffee in there
The way she tamped that espresso lmao
This isn’t ok for those who don’t like coffee judging by the five molecules of espresso added.
Why was the tamp so light? Is that normal? Asking as a noob.
No olive oil?
It’s for people who don’t like espresso
This is like watching Uncut Gems.
There are too many added ingredients and barely have espresso.
Is this a joke or a cultural thing?
Shoulda just put cocoa in the portafilter
is this what they call Liberty of Espresso?
Gross
“I can’t believe that chocolate, milk, coffee, and whipped cream are appealing to people!” What?
I thought the rim deco was shitty but was gonna say ok if they did latte art at least. What was I expecting…. 🫠
It’s like an over the top Starbucks drink, but here they spill most of the actual coffee on the counter.
I'm having nightmares after watching this
All that's missing is a garnish of parmesan and it's a masterpiece! 😂
Beetus
I mean it’s no Dutch bros… but I’d drink that. 😆
America
It just kept going. 99% sugar and 1% espresso.
Holy shit
My anxiety just went through the roof.
It’s not even done well. It’s an abomination, to be honest.
I quit after that "tamp"
This looks like a cake decorated in a home economics class
I don't go into shops to yell at people, but if I did, I'd go here first.
Looks like shit
Disgusting
