To do this, press and hold the Program button (18) until the time flashes and the autotimer clock and the Auto-on light flash. Then, press the H and M buttons (16 & 17) until the display shows the desired time for the coffee maker to start brewing. After 5 seconds, the time will stop flashing and the display will return to the current programmed time. Finally, press the Auto On button (13). The Auto On light will illuminate, and the blue brewing indicator will illuminate when brewing begins.

The Four Fundamentals
Preparation
The first step in programming the Starbucks Barista Aroma Solo is to ensure that you have the necessary input data and a suitable environment for running the STARsolo workflow. This includes generating FASTQ data, importing the workflow, and preparing a sample sheet that describes the metadata of each sample. The sample sheet should include information such as sample names, reference genomes, locations of FASTQ files, and assay types.
Input Configuration
The second fundamental aspect is configuring the input parameters for the STARsolo workflow. This involves specifying the sample sheet, output directory, filename suffix patterns, and various STARsolo options. These options include the type of single-cell RNA-seq, cell barcode whitelist, genomic features for UMI counts, counting methods for multi-mapping reads, cell filtering type, and output filenames.
Execution
The third fundamental is the execution of the STARsolo workflow. This involves launching the analysis with the configured inputs and selecting the desired version of the workflow. It is important to choose the appropriate STAR version, number of CPUs, memory size, disk space, and cloud infrastructure backend for optimal performance.
Output Analysis
The fourth and final fundamental is the analysis of the output generated by the STARsolo workflow. This includes understanding the structure of the output directories and files, such as the gene-count matrices and STAR logs. Additionally, it is essential to review the output for any potential issues or errors that may have occurred during the execution.
