In a perfect world every espresso bar would be staffed with at least three baristas for maximum efficiency, but in the real world, lots of baristas are stuck working solo in non-peak hours. Luckily, latte art champion Ryan Soeder has you covered. Soeder is something of a work flow expert, and has the tattoo to prove it. Watch this new training video from Louisville’s Sunergos Coffee to learn Soeder’s patented flow. Novice and seasoned baristas alike can benefit by watching Soeder’s impeccable mise en place and calculated efficiency.
