Coffee Scheduling

Step 2: Place a saucepan with tap water on a burner and bring to a boil.

Coffee consumption in China is highly concentrated in large cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Also other cities like Wuhan coffee culture seems to expand. Recently coffee appeals to adventurous young, rich, and urban consumers. This is just because originally coffee is considered as a Western concept to most Chinese consumers. According to Subhuti (2003), the Chinese do not consume coffee because of its potential health value either in terms of modern medical data or traditional Chinese medical concepts. Rather, it has been consumed until now as part of the fascination with western culture that has grown during the past few decades. However the coffee culture is getting well known in China nowadays. Chinese

Drinking Coffee Elsewhere is a very interesting story that brings up a number of thought-provoking issues in a relatively short format. Among these are questions of race, identity, and stereotyping. The narrator of the story is a young woman named Dina who feels lonely and confused in her new surroundings. As a poor, African American female at Yale (which the narrator portrays as a rich, male, and subtlety racist institution) she has difficulty adapting to the expectations of the university. From the very beginning, her differences set her apart from her classmates, until, from her point of view, she becomes a pariah, invisible and despised by the community. Of course, one must view

27. Heat the water to 40°C with an alcohol lamp by setting up the apparatus as shown in figure 3 below:

Strain the tea in a cup and warm for a few minutes until it is safe to drink.

6.Once timer has gone off after 30 seconds, quickly remove pot from heating surface and quickly pour into bowl.

The reaction will be complete after approximately 60 seconds. Observe where color develops, and consider what these results indicate. Record your results in Table 1.

After the 5-minute period, take the Elodea and thermometer out of the beaker, pour the mixture into the beaker down the drain and rinse.

In ZZ Packer’s book entitled Drinking Coffee Elsewhere, we get to see how African Americans cope with their different situations dealing with family, friendship, religion, and the pursuit of prosperity in the world. Within the short story collection there is a story named after the title, Drinking Coffee Elsewhere, where we get to see the pressures put on a young African American woman, Dina, that causes her to resort to near complete isolation of herself. Dina says at one point, “We spent the winter and some of the spring in my room- never hers- missing tests, listening to music, looking out my window to comment on people who wouldn’t have given us a second thought”(Packer 140). Dina feels the need

1) Allow the copper in the beaker to dry at low temperature in a drying oven for at least one hour.

Pour the 200 mL of water into the beaker with the tablet powder in it. Instantaneously, start the timer when you pour the water. Stop the timer when the powder has completely disappeared. DO NOT WAIT FOR THE BUBBLES TO STOP. ONCE THE TABLET IS GONE, TIME IS UP!

For my personal project, I decided to go with something which I was really interested in, “Latte Art” or in other words Coffee Art. Latte art, according to a youtube video I watched named “What is latte art” by Howcast, it was brought to the United States in the late 80’s, early 90’s by David Schomer. Originally, it started in Italy. There are certain designs that were used back in the day, for example, the heart which is one of the simplest ones. Nowadays, people are starting to create different and more challenging designs, such as a bear. As I mentioned before, the heart is one of the simplest designs but it is not as simple as it sounds. I learned the technique of steaming the milk to the perfect degree as well as to have it as creamy like it is supposed to be. At the end of my project, I had completed three designs, two I saw by videos and pictures and one created by myself. I struggled trying to steam, pour and create the latte art which at the end, after mastering them, they turned out to be good.

With one faster convection oven, we can repeat the procedure as for a single oven (using the Gantt chart). The first dozen starts baking in the convection oven at the 9th minute and finishes baking at the 15th minute. Meanwhile the second dozen is ready to go into the oven. The RM sets the timer in 1 minute and the baking process for the second dozen starts at the 16th minute and ends at the 22nd minute. Meanwhile, there is just enough time for the first dozen to cool and be packed. At the end of 22nd minute, the RM unloads the second dozen, lets it cool for 5 minutes and packs them taking 2 more minutes. The order is ready by 29th minute at which time it is delivered and payment is accepted, giving a total theoretical flow time of 30 minutes.

The whole process throughput time of making a dozen of cookies is 26 minutes. It takes washing, mixing and spooning 8 minutes to make a dozen of cookies. And preparation and bake time totally are 10 minutes. The final step of cooling, packing and accepting payment of cookies takes roommate 8 minutes to finish the cycle. Assume the night capacity is 4 hours, so Kristen and roommate have 240 minutes operating time. Since the oven only holds one tray, the second dozen takes an additional 10 minutes to bake. For example, first dozen of cookies take 26 minutes to make, second dozen of cookies take 36 minutes to make and third dozen of cookies take 46 minutes to make. So we can
