As many as are ordered! :-) Personally I don't believe there's a production capability difference between a 2 & 3grp with only one barista working it. During a rush production can be faster with two barista who know how to flow together working on even a 2 group.

To anwer what I believe your question meant it depends. Serving single shots split doubles or always use full double per beverage? Always steam each beverage individually or steam for multiple at a time? Are they working alone explaining offerings, taking and ringing up orders, getting pastries etc. or just working the machine?

There is also of course a difference between trained and experienced. In competition the barista is required to make 12 split double single shot beverages in 15 minutes, including serving and presentation explaining what they are serving etc.

All things considered working as a team during a rush in hyperdrive using all doubles steaming each individually I'd say at least a beverage a minute should be able to be served. Working alone 20 maybe 30 if just beverages not having to grab and possibly toast a bagel or scone or muffin etc.
