Meet the mastermind who came up with a not-too-sweet take on a pumpkin spice latte and Presta's special summer menu.
Ellice Lueders In the back of Presta’s production space, past the roasting machines and enormous bags of green coffee beans, there’s a cubby where Rachel Zell invents each season’s menu of specialty drinks.
Rachel got her job — informally called “the sauce boss” — because she loves to taste. Shortly after she began working at Presta, she became friends with the outgoing specialty drink manager over a shared love of food, flavors and recipe development. As the team geared up for her predecessor to move to France, Rachel helped design the upcoming spring menu.
“When tasting coffee you often talk about three parts of taste — what you taste up front, up middle, the body, and the finish,” Rachel said. “Using those elements to design the seasonal beverages is really important because I want all three parts of the taste journey to feel cohesive and to all shine.”
The recipe ended up being less than 1% baking soda by volume. “ was imperceptible, at least to me,” she said. “What I did not anticipate, and probably should’ve, was the explosion it was going to create — not a full-scale explosion but so many bubbles. All over the counter.”
