Dispensing shots directly into the cup
I’ve always been real against doing this because I feel like if the shot I pull isn’t any good, now I’m wasting syrups. Also, I feel bad about prolonging the length of my time hot liquid sits in plastic cups because microplastics. So I’ve always dispensed my shots into the glass and, if they pulled correctly, then they go in the cup. Today I had a shift tell me that the correct way to do things is to dispense directly into the cup because it makes the shot mix with the syrups different and results in a better tasting beverage. I don’t think that’s true, which is why I’m asking here. Does anyone know for sure what company policy is as well as what actually results in the best tasting beverage?
