The four levers
What keeps a latte program consistent.
None of these are magic. They are choices made once, then held per lot.
1. Latte grade selection
Choose a grade for bright clean green behind milk, smooth umami and low harsh bitterness. A grade built for whisking can be the wrong, costlier choice in a milk-heavy latte.
2. Colour stability
Set a colour target and confirm it on the lot. The second delivery should match the first — that is what "consistent" means to a regular customer.
3. Cost per serving, set first
Dosage and grade decide your cost per cup before you print the menu. A simple per-serving maths prevents a popular drink from quietly losing margin.
4. A repeatable lot
One lot number links the approved sample to every bulk bag. When a barista changes, the cup does not.
