I have an espresso machine that will only work if I unhook the green ground wire that’s on the inside of the appliance. As soon as I hook the ground back up, it trips the GFCI outlet. It seems completely dry on the inside and looks clean and without corrosion. Any suggestions?
Thank you ‘Steve & Katrina’ for a well-thought-out explanation. Roadrunner 58 got a thumbs down for giving an incompetent and useless answer that was entirely unhelpful.

Question by kaylee c: Is Starbucks espresso roast coffee the same as regular espresso?
I want to make a caramel macchiato at home and Starbucks sells a kit for it now, but it doesn’t come with espresso. So will the Starbucks espresso blend coffee be the same thing?

It switches from flavor to flavor, Starbucks to Starbucks but I find some of the syrups have a repulsive underlying taste of chemicalish orange flavor causing me to have to throw out drink after drink.
It’s not just me who tastes it. I’ve asked four friends, someone who returned their drink in Starbucks and two family members and they all taste the same thing.

So, has anyone noticed this?

Thanks in advance!

Answer by audioworld
I noticed that too. I bet it was because they make chai tea and coffee in the same blenders

Question by qualitycountz2003: Does Starbucks hire Baristas only or are there other positions available?
Does Starbucks hire Baristas only or are there other positions available? I am a coffee freak & i frequent many of my local Starbucks locations all the time. The other day one of the Baristas that frequently makes my coffee suggested i apply there and gave me an application.

Now what i want to know is: does everyone they hire have to go through Barista training, or can i just be trained to cashier & mark the cups , as the role of a Barista looks a bit too stressful too me- and i have a wierd love for working on register.

So basically can i be hired as a cashier?
Thanks.

Question by DoggyDooDoo: What do you need to start up a little espresso bar?
I got my hands on an large espresso machine that was left behind by a coffee shop that went out of business last summer. That is probably the biggest expense. I have a kitchen area I can use. What else would I need to make sure i have everything I need to get started?

Hm. Well I work at Starbucks, and I know this is most likely not the answer you’re looking for, but here it is. To get the closest taste to Passion tea, you should buy the Passion Tazo tea

Question by Kristinlulu: How does a programmable coffee maker work?
I need a very detailed description of how coffee makers with programmable timers actually work. I need enough detail and instructions that I could build one. Links with pictures of the inner workings of a coffee maker would be helpful as well but not necessary. Best answer will go to the instructions that I could possibly build a programmable coffee maker from!

Best answer:

Answer by duane w
It is simply a switch built controlled by a timer that’s all.

by Latente 囧 www.latente.it

Question by charlie6385: What coffee out there is good black for someone who likes their coffee sweet?
I usually drink my coffee with sugar and cream and lots of it. And while I have cut down, I want to cut to black (I’m also dieting). But I prefer sweet coffee, not bland. Is there anything out there that provides sweet coffee without having to add the sugar and cream? Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by BlueSea
Put Splenda in your coffee, it works great. It is sweeter than sugar, I think so I use just a pinch. And putting a bit of powdered creamer in your coffee is not going to sabotage your diet, but you can always try the non-fat version.
If you prefer liquid creamer there are lots of non-fat versions or try 1% milk
