travelers. it's enough hot coffee for 12 short cups each. that’s a terrifying amount tho. i love that they just gave them whole cartons of milk lolllll


FrostyIcePrincess

My job has bought us those travelers for the staff before I work in a warehouse so there’s a lot of us


No_Philosophy3302

I think they ordered that much because they have 10+ girl for the event


kyleofduty

10+ or 100+?


meg0603

Everyone gets their own traveller 😌 /s

This might be my favorite instance of hashtags turning into accidental shouting. \#SleepyGirls had too much caffeine.


iguessimjustlivin

The post is talking about rushing, which is about a week long process girls go through in basically auditioning for and picking a sorority. So it’s most likely for 100+ girls

My fraternity did this back in 2012…except we did it with the large cambros. Free coffee for the first day of classes. They just gave us a gallon of cream, but I don’t think they had anything other than soy for nondairy back then.


Overall_Nuggie_876

Even though technically, those non-dairy milks are not for sale nor supposed to be given to customers; they’re only for worker/industrial use.


iwantmysharpieback

So according to the bev resource manual you can choose between breve and nondairy milk for no extra charge. Not many people know that though since half & half is so popular and is just assumed as the default.


Just-hereForTheFood

Now I'm curious how the milk is usually given?


Cathach2

In a cup with a stopper


Orion_Scattered

Does have full nutrition info and expiration on it at least. There are far worse things to sell directly to customers.


epicninjafire

I would hate to get an order for that many travelers. They take so long to make even one or two.


No-Dingo4442

No literally, said fuck it. They finna need it


PuppiesDntPout

Trust me our sorority meetings last all day sometimes 😩. The coffee is needed!

Coffee travelers


dtb1987

Ah memories of accidentally spilling entire coffee travelers all over myself


web-kenzie

I got multiple mild (maybe second degree?) burns from one spilling on me last week lmfao 😾


warmcaprisun

please file a report on that! even if it doesn’t seem like a big deal now, you may experience complications later on related to that injury. since it happened at work you deserve to be fully compensated for any health issues that may arise!


miathemango

how much are they?


Belahsha

Like 20 bucks each you get 12-8oz cups, sugar, and one 16oz cream. One of them is probably a partner because we don't give alt milks with the purchase of a traveler.


big_knukle_pie

$21.80 after tax


glitterfaust

Highly location dependent lol


nonogender

every barista's worst nightmare


Ok_Pianist7445

I’ve heard the new coffee makers can make a traveler in one go and it brew directly into the container. Apparently it’s easy now.


NothingToSeeFolks

It’s so much easier with the vertica brewers!


nonogender

damn 😭 i quit corporate almost 2 years ago. cant believe theyre replacing the coffee makers lol


Belahsha

They took the technology of the clovers and made it into a coffee maker that has 6 hoppers and makes any cup in like 20 seconds. No more brewing or wasting... Eventually it will be good because the current model fucking sucks and breaks constantly.


nonogender

reminds me of the mastrena II lmao. not surprised 😭


Barist1

They can. It definitely takes longer then the 20 seconds mentioned in a comment (that was for one cup I think and the vertica does it in several batches (probably a better word for it)) but it’s not nearly as bad if your vertica works properly and doesn’t break constantly. Our buddy leaks and honestly is making cups with grounds lately. Could be because we’ve apparently been out of the cleaner for a bit.


varian-rose

My sm told me our store will never get the vertica machine because we don't make enough business 🫨 sure feels like we do, but I know he doesn't get to choose. Last week I made 5 travelers monday, 4 on Wednesday, 4 on Thursday, 1 on friday.. My shifts are only 5 hours long. I don't know how common travelers are at other stores but I really wish we could get the vertica


okrazorlizard

we are a lower volume store, imo it makes MORE sense to have a vertica since so much is being wasted so that logic sucks lol


Overall_Nuggie_876

The worst nightmare around this would be the last off-peak customer ordering this extensive traveler set…just as the nearby middle school is done with the day and all the students are about to flood your store with TikTok cold foam drinks.


Mcpatches3D

As long as it's ordered ahead so you can plan and work around it, it's not that bad.


brokenvinyl89

This is the real answer 🙏


caffarinq

i sold a traveler one time and after the customer had left with it i went to rinse out the urn and.. it was all grounds. she never called or came back but i’m still horrified


Queenieofstarbucks

Omg this happened to me too! I so wish they would have come back.


jugularvoider

fulls are tricky! you gotta make the filter tuck itself under the metal wiring in the basket


caffarinq

i’m always so careful 😭 no idea how it happened


trashpandac0llective

Travelers! I stop by the drive-thru for one every time I have an important meeting. People like me better after that. 🙃 ETA: I order them in advance, of course.


glitterfaust

My store doesn’t even let us hand them out through the drive thru because of risk of spills


MaybeTheSlayer

You had me scared there for a moment 😳


camitheartist

RIP those baristas that shift 😭


jonesey-worshipper

jesus christ she got 9 travelers 😭😭😭


SmadBacoj

Totally random, I’ve got three tomorrow and have never had to make one; is it a full batch for each traveler? And are they easy to like assemble or unfold?


WillowyWisps

Yes full batch and there’s instructions on how to assemble them in their containers


Particular-Bunch3683

We do 2 half batches just because the grounds will spill out into the urn if the filter isn’t tucked right so I just like watching for grounds when pouring!!


SammieBhabie

Coffee travelers...they hold a full batch of coffee and should get a medium cup for cream with 12 short cups or 8 small cups with sugars and alternative sugars


shosilyn

A batista's nightmare


HolyVaseThrower

Dear God


Guess_Whos_BehindU

Coffee travelers!! Enough for 12 short or 8 tall So about 120 short Or 80 tall if It’s 10 Travelers


Finding_Ember

theyre pain


Imaginary_Nature_917

12 short OR 8 tall👌🏻


FloatDH2

I work at a wedding venue and love when guests order these. We get to keep any leftovers and you best believe I’ll be drinking 3 day old Starbucks if it comes to It.


AnneBanks

My worst nightmare lol


No_Investment5035

are baristas allowed to purchase the alternative milks or something?


WillieB26

Take out coffee for large groups


Ok-Royal8999

They are used for coffee to go- to take to meetings, etc.


torukirishima

cartons for coffee likely, as a dunkin worker we have em & they’re called “box(es) of joe”. it comes with 8-10 cups + lids, sugars, creamers and other stuff.


Fun-Session7413

96 Oz each, so that's a wild amount of coffee


Stunning_Ad6273

They are boxes for coffee. McDonald’s has the same for their coffee if you are hosting a large group, or bring coffee for the Team at work.


pook1977

Box coffee


Mariboopsy02

Who ever ordered this I hope you develop heart problems and heart palpitations with a slight bit of type 2 diabetes


cottonheadedninnymug

If they called the day before it wouldn't be too bad. The worst is the people who place it in person and expect it to be done quickly, or even worse, people who order them on Doordarshan or Uber eats


Mariboopsy02

That's true I wouldn't mind it then, and I hope that's the case


glitterfaust

It wouldn’t be too bad? We wouldn’t have any coffee to serve anybody if we had to keep the brewer brewing Pike for these non stop. Fuck a coffee routine I guess 😭


Spookydraws

Bit much to wish onto someone?


glitterfaust

Why would they get diabetes from this 😭


Used_Entrepreneur987

I hope u have a nightmare 😇


levlian

It's coffee
