Margaret has a very important role at Barrie House. She ensures all Barrie House finished goods that go out of the facility (single-serve capsules, espresso, whole bean, and ground coffee) are of the highest quality.  She inspects every part/component of the products (e.g., making sure lids are on properly, "best by" dates are printed correctly, nested boxes are glued, bag seals are tight, weight and oxygen numbers are within spec, etc.).

Our quality needs to be at the highest standards and Margaret strives on making sure that when she says it is “ok,” the product she reviewed really is the best of what Barrie House has to offer.

Thanks for your great work, Margaret!
