If you're ready to dive into the world of coffee, our Beginners Barista Training Course is the perfect starting point. This hands-on course will give you the essential skills and knowledge to start preparing espresso drinks like a pro!

What You’ll Learn in the Course:

1. Understanding Coffee Extraction
A great cup of coffee starts with understanding how to extract flavors from the coffee grounds. In this course, we’ll teach you how to identify under-extracted and over-extracted coffee and why it’s crucial to get it just right. Understanding extraction is the first step toward crafting the perfect shot of espresso.

2. Adjusting Your Grinder
Your grinder is a key tool in making coffee. Learn how to adjust the grind size and dosage to suit different brewing methods. You'll also gain hands-on experience with tamping techniques to ensure an even extraction for that perfect espresso shot.

3. Espresso Menu & Terminology
Do you know the difference between a flat white, latte, and cappuccino? In this section, you’ll explore the different types of espresso-based drinks and the terminology behind them. Understanding the menu and how each drink is crafted will set you up for success when it comes to taking orders and making drinks on demand.

4. Milk Fundamentals
Milk is an integral part of many coffee drinks, and knowing how to texture and steam milk correctly is a skill that every barista should master. Learn the techniques behind steaming milk to the perfect temperature and consistency for lattes, cappuccinos, and more.

5. Equipment Maintenance & Coffee Storage
A great barista knows that maintaining your equipment is just as important as making a great cup of coffee. We’ll teach you how to clean and care for espresso machines and grinders, as well as the proper way to store your coffee beans to preserve freshness and flavor.

What to Expect

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to confidently prepare any espresso drink on request. While mastering the basics is essential, we always emphasize that practice is key. Further training and practice will help you refine your speed and technique, but this course will provide a solid foundation to start your barista journey.
