    I just don't like them all together, if I'm going to get a coffee I would definitely choose some small independent coffee shop, or just simply brew it at home. But if I'm really lazy I would go to Costa, but just to the one where I know barista, and know that can make decent coffee.

    Correct! They are shipped from America.

    Coffee is stale because when we receive it, it already have been roasted at least a month ago

    Every company owned store is getting signature blend delivery every day with specialities like seasonal coffee or decaf weekly.

    You're right, and water is poured for about 3:30.

    I think that this business is more focused on selling sweet drinks like Carmel Machiato or some flavoured Lattes, for people that don't really like taste of coffee but sugar. It's hard to say that we sell milk as Costa latte is more milky for me. My store, medium volume one goes through about 50...

    100% correct, all you have to do is steam the milk and adjust the grind size (machine prompts you to do that) on stepped knobs. Fun fact: yesterday I was digging deep in coffee resources manuals and I found instructions for maintenance of some La Marzocco machines and Super Jolly grinder - with...

    1. I'm afraid that's impossible, everything is labeled "for internal use only" 2. Yes and no, there are classes held twice a quarter to improve skills and tech about the coffee, but I haven't noticed any improvement in baristas that went there. If I want I can have one on one sessions during...

    TDS, it's all controlled by automatic espresso machines so I'm not really able to tell. 18-23s and looks like 40g to me, but I don't know how much machine doses.

    I would definitely need more description of "bad'. You might not like it for various reasons, it's really dark dark roast, and it's such a huge company its hard to deliver fresh beans. Everyone here thinks of usable coffee within one month of roasting, here it's rare to get it that fresh, and...

    First there is a forecast of quantity of coffee that we need, then samples are sent to support centre where is tasted few times to check if it meets desired quality, if it does then contract is negotiated.

    Hey guys, seeing growing interest in Costa Beans thread I thought it might be interesting to host AMA about Starbucks in here. Let's see if anyone is interested. BTW: I won't share any company secrets even though this is anonymous, just because of respect. Thanks!
