Two cappuccinos I made one after the other in my café today. This couple came in and wanted large cappuccinos, so I made them in our 16oz cups. Not my cup of tea (nor coffee) but if I can make what you want, I will! Unfortunely, my muscle memory is attuned to steaming/pouring 8oz capps, and so the first one came out somewhat more phallic than I intended 😅

The only thing worse than a shitty pour is a shitty pour in the same order as a drink you nailed.

    Oh no, what do you do? Do you serve it like that or try again? This is my biggest fear, not wanting to disappoint customers but also not wanting to waste food.

    If you had served me that I wouldn’t have cared but people have different thresholds.

      If I just messed up on the pour but the milk texture is good, I’ll usually still serve it. I’ll either take a stir-stick and try to make some pretty swirls, or I’ll serve as-is but make a joke about it to the customer.
