Interview questions worth rehearsing
With the thing the interviewer is actually listening for
How do you keep drink quality consistent during a morning rush?
Talk about sequencing orders, steaming for multiple drinks at once, and not skipping shot timing or temperature even under pressure.
What do you know about dialing in an espresso grind?
Show you understand the relationship between grind size, dose, and shot time. If your experience is on super-automatics, say so honestly.
A customer says their drink is wrong, but it was made to the ticket. What do you do?
Remake it pleasantly without debating the ticket. The thirty seconds of goodwill costs less than a lost regular.
How do you handle the balance between speed and friendliness?
Describe short, genuine interactions: names, a sentence of warmth, and efficient hands. Warm and fast is the craft.
What are your cleaning routines for espresso equipment?
Mention backflushing, steam wand wiping after every use, and daily grinder and machine cleaning. Equipment care shows real experience.
Are you available for early mornings and weekends?
Cafes live on the 5 a.m. open. Answer honestly, because reliability at opening is often the deciding factor.
