Two Ways To Train
Training School
Structured classes with hands-on time, small groups and clear outcomes. Perfect for home baristas, new hires and experienced staff who want consistency.
- Espresso Foundations — grind/dose/yield, extraction, milk basics, machine care
- Milk & Workflow — texturing, latte art, bar flow, speed & waste reduction
- Advanced Espresso & QC — recipe development, equipment use, sensory calibration, dial-in under pressure
- Filter Foundations — V60/AeroPress/batch brewers: variables, ratios, brew curves
- Maintenance 101 — cleaning SOPs, water & filtration, preventative checks
- Manager/Owner Lab — menu GP%, staff SOPs, service modelling
Outcome: service-ready skills, a confidence boost and clear SOPs to keep standards high.
