I can assure you that a barista in Italy can easily reach that number. And do many other things in between.
(In the Netherlands it's probably three cups an hour, with looking at the ceiling or the floor in between).
- benj111 8y agoPossibly, depends on the drinks. Espressos? probably. Large lattes? Not so much. Steaming the milk would kill the throughput too much. I would guess that the Italian would do a much higher proportion of shorter and smaller drinks.
- Udik 8y agoNot too sure about the "large latte", which in Italy might only translate to "cappuccino" (and it's not that large). Anyway, apparently two baristas from Milan have the world record of 623 espresso cups/ hour. :)
- jaclaz 8y agoI believe a "large latte" is more similar to what in Italy is a "latte macchiato" (though as you say is not very "large"[1]) than to a "cappuccino". [1] "normal" bars in Italy only have two sizes of cups, one (smaller) for the espresso and one (larger) for the cappuccino (used also for tea, chocolate, ginseng, etc.). Large mug-sized cups normally exists only in homes where traditionally you have a caffelatte with bread or biscuits at breakfast (or sometimes instead of dinner)
