This UAE barista SOP checklist helps cafes standardize coffee preparation and service quality. It covers key steps such as flushing and cleaning handles, correct tamping, levelling and wiping, 20–22 second rate of pour with a timer, steaming milk during extraction, purging and wiping the steam wand, using one thermometer per jug, pouring from the spout, and achieving drink-specific foam levels (Latte 1–1.5 cm, Cappuccino 2–2.5 cm, Flat White and Cortado 0.5 cm). It reinforces clean-as-you-go practices, consistent presentation standards, and optional photo evidence and comments to support audits and training.
