One of the most common and biggest issues with baristas and barista teams is a lack of consistency when making espresso and other specialty coffee drinks. If a single barista is does not have a clear and proven method of producing a consistent and quality product, or just as bad, if the team only has one or two skilled baristas, then again quality and consistency in your coffee will be lacking.
