Barista Basics

If you think making a cup of coffee involves mixing a teaspoon of instant granules with milk and sugar, think again!

The Barista Course will teach you the basics of how to use a commercial espresso machine to make the perfect cup of coffee.

Be it a cappuccino, a latte, flat white or maybe even something a little more contemporary like a macchiato, all coffees start from an espresso shot.
