7 Coffee & Tea Making Coffee: Use designated plastic container or coffee filter to measure out coffee beans; 3.70 oz for a half pot, 6.80 oz for a full pot. Be sure to tare/zero-out your container/filter before measuring coffee beans. Pour beans into top of grinder and close cover; the grinder should be set to DRIP. Place coffee filter under grinding spout, depressing the metal tab in the back. Press start. If the grinds are not coming out well, lift the cleaning lever. Once the coffee is fully ground, turn off the machine. DO NOT PUT GROUND COFFEE THROUGH THE GRINDER!!! IT WILL RUIN THE MACHINE!!! Put coffee-filled filter into brew basket and replace in holder. Select either FULL or HALF/TEA, pushing button until you hear a click. After coffee has fully brewed, open cover and lift gray stopper to keep coffee hot. In the mornings, customers tend to want the darker roast (French Roast), so brew a full pot of French, and a half pot of the Costa Rica first thing in the morning. Making Iced Tea: In the mornings you will make tea; we brew black tea, ginger lemon, and chai concentrate. Black tea is to be made every day, ginger lemon is to be made as needed, and chai concentrate is to be made every two days. Directions for making each tea are in the white binder. All iced teas should be brewed in the TEA brew basket (green handle) using a filter. 7

8 Using the Espresso Machine: Espresso Shot To make espresso drinks, grind the correct amount of espresso into the portafilter. Most drinks use a double shot, unless the customer requests a single shot. Decaf espresso is pre-ground; use 4 spoonfuls of the decaf per double shot. All decaf drinks should be made with two double shots. The perfect espresso shot extraction will last between 23 and 28 seconds. If this is not the case, the espresso grinder will need to be adjusted. After grinding espresso or placing decaf espresso in the portafilter, shake the grinds to distribute evenly. Place the portafilter on the edge of the counter and use the tamp to press the grinds. To tamp, hold your elbow at a 90 degree angle, apply 30 lbs of pressure (put your shoulder into it), and twist. Place the tamped portafilter in the grouphead and place a coffee cup beneath. For a single shot, use one of the two buttons on the left (single cup button), and for a double shot, use one of the two buttons on the right (double cup button). The middle button will run water through to clean the grouphead. After extracting the shot, you have seconds before the shot will expire, so any milk products should be steamed before your shot finishes. Adjusting the Espresso Grinder Start by pushing in the black plastic gate To adjust in either direction, push down the silver tab (it should stay down), then turn the adjusting ring left or right; you should hear a click To make the extraction shorter turn the ring clockwise; to make it longer, turn the ring counter clockwise Adjust one or two clicks in either direction, then pull out the gate and push the double shot button If the extraction time is correct after this, you are done; if not adjust again until the shot is between 23 and 28 seconds 8

9 Steaming and Foaming Milk To make a latte, use steamed milk; to make a cappuccino or macchiato, use foamed milk. To steam milk, fill the pitcher with the amount milk you need, and put a thermometer on the side of the pitcher. (The thermometer should calibrate in cold milk at about 50 degrees.) Hold the pitcher so that the steam wand is at the bottom of the pitcher. Pull the steaming lever all the way up. If you hear a screeching sound, aerate the wand. Continue steaming until the thermometer reaches 135 degrees. Upon taking the milk pitcher away, immediately wipe the wand with a water-saturated rag. To foam milk, fill the pitcher with the amount of milk you need, and put a thermometer on the side of the pitcher. Hold the pitcher so that the head of the steam wand is just below the top level of the milk. Pull the steaming lever all the way up. As the milk begins to foam and rise, keep the steam wand head just below the top level of the milk. Once the foam has reached the top of the pitcher, hold so that the steam wand is fully in the milk until the temperature reaches 135 degrees. Upon taking the milk pitcher away, immediately wipe the wand with a water-saturated rag. 9

Each tea will specify the amount of leaves to be used on the container (example). Fill the tea bag with the appropriate amount and twist the top. Fill a 16 oz cup with hot water and immerse the tea bag in water, draping the twisted end over the edge of the cup. Do not let the tea bag fall into the cup. Making Lemonade To make a half gallon of lemonade, follow this recipe; to make a gallon, double it. Measure out ½ cup of sugar and ½ cup of hot water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved to make simple syrup. Fresh-squeeze 1 cup of lemon juice using the juicer; 1 cup of juice tends to be about 6 lemons. Combine the syrup and lemon juice in a pitcher. Fill the pitcher with cold water to 2 quarts. 12

13 Food Prepared Meals Prepared meals will come from the kitchen. Whenever food appears to be running low, use the food order sheet for replacement. Items sold by pound should be measured out; after this is done, use the displayed weight to put into Revel when prompted. Always wear gloves or use the provided serving utensils to serve food. Pastries Pastries will be brought over in the morning by Paige. They will need to be displayed nicely and extras will need to be stored in the back. Items that have nuts in them should be kept in a separate dome or on a separate plate. At night, pastries should be prepared to go to Paige in the morning--muffins, scones, monkey bread, scones, tarts, etc. should be placed on one platter (will be sold as Day Olds ). Breads and cookies can last for another day. Be sure to wrap all pastries in cling at night. Allergies Many food allergies can be life-threatening so it is important to inform your customer of possible contamination! Inform your customer that all items are made in a kitchen that processes nuts. The pastry chef, Paige, is very allergy conscious, however, this does not guarantee that there was no cross-contamination. All ingredients are in the system. Give your customer as much information as possible, and let your customer make an informed decision. Retail Coffee Beans The Wine and Provisions store also sells Fazenda coffee beans. If a customer would like to purchase retail coffee, always offer to grind the coffee for them. 13

14 Revel Systems Ringing in Order Employees each have a password to enter Revel. You will take orders of coffee, wine, beer, spirits, food, pastries, etc. through the main screen. For wine, beer, and spirits, use the scanner. If this does not work or an item does not have a bar code, search for the item in order to add it to an order. There are buttons for food, drinks, gift cards, and retail bags. Simply tap on the item you want and it will be added to the order. Drinks can be found under COFFEE AND TEA. There are 5 subcategories: COFFEE, TEA, ESPRESSO, OTHER, and EXTRA; each of these categories has labeled products. In OTHER, you will find chai, hot chocolate, lemonade, and milk. The EXTRA category is for when orders include flavored syrup, an extra shot of espresso, soy milk, or almond milk. Food can be found in the RETAIL FOOD category. There are 4 subcategories; Fazenda (for retail coffee beans), PREPARED MEALS, BAKERY, and OTHER. Many prepared meal items are bought by pound; when you tap on an item, Revel may ask you to enter the weight, which will be displayed on the scale. Other items, like bottled water and ginger beer, can be found in the NON- ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES and MIXERS sections. Checking Out When order is complete, tap Pay. Customers can pay via credit/debit, cash, or gift card. Credit To pay with a credit or debit card, tap the Credit option and swipe the card through the scanner when prompted. Ask the customer to sign with their finger and always ask if they would like a receipt. 14

15 Cash A customer may also pay with cash. Tap Cash to open the drawer. If the customer will need change, enter the amount they are paying with before tapping Cash. The correct amount of change will display in the top right corner. You cannot go back to see how much change is needed after you tap Cash. Gift Cards A customer may also pay with a gift card. Tap Gift Card and swipe it through the scanner when prompted. Receipts and Completing the Order Inquire about if the customer is or would like to be part of our system. If the customer is already in the system, add them to the order before or after checking out (before tapping Done ). Ask if the customer would like a receipt; it can be printed or ed. Once the order is complete tap Done. Purchasing Gift Cards Gift cards are available for purchase at the Wine and Provisions store; they can be used for both the store and the restaurant. Find the button labeled GIFT CERTIFICATES and select the customers desired amount. If their desired amount is not in the system, offer the next closest amount or contact a manager. After amount has been added to the order, check out. Tap Pay and have customer pay as they so desire. If they use a credit/debit card, be sure the customer signs. Ask if the customer would like a receipt (printed or ed). Revel will prompt you to add amount to a blank gift card. BE SURE TO DO THIS SLOWLY AND CORRECTLY! If you are doing more than one gift card at a time, keep all separate so you do not put multiple amounts on one card. If this occurs, contact a manager. After finishing the transaction, place each gift card in the To/From holder, writing down the amount on the card, and put in an envelope. 15

16 Adding Customers to the System The benefits of being in the Heritage system are keeping track of previous orders (if a customer cannot remember a wine or other product they purchased, it can be looked up via their name), easier ability to have receipts ed, and being added to our system (optional).
