Beginner Barista Course
If you’ve never made a coffee on an espresso machine before, then this class is for you. It’s a great place to start for those with a new machine at home, for anyone about to start on their professional barista journey, or if you’re just curious.
This class will cover the basics. We’ll start with an overview of the world of coffee growing, understanding origin, processing techniques and how this impacts taste.
Then the practical stuff begins. You'll learn:
- What ‘dialling in’ means, and how to dial in a grinder in order to produce a good quality espresso
- How to steam milk consistency for the perfect flavour and texture in your coffee
- The basics of latte art
Price: £85 Per person
Duration: 3 Hours
Max Class Size: 8 People
