"I am not familiar with the term double-double, but if I had to guess, I would think it means two cream and two sugar. There are many coffee terms that I am aware of, and I will be sure to learn others as I have further barista training."

In the coffee world, there is specific lingo that is attached to certain coffee shops and franchises. A double-double is a term that originated from Tim Hortons, meaning double cream and double sugar. Show the interviewer that you are familiar with the coffee lingo by giving other favorite examples.
"If a customer were to order a 'double-double' I would know they are asking for double cream and double sugar. This order makes a regular drip coffee sweet, and creamy. Many terms come from other coffee shops, just like some people will order a grande, I know they are using the Starbucks terms for a 16-ounce coffee drink."
