Pick a Saturday
From bean to latte art
Theory in the morning, then hours on the machines, with enough coffee and milk for more than 70 lattes. You leave able to do it yourself.
- 01
Coffee, from origin
Where coffee comes from, how green beans are processed, and what changes the taste in your cup.
- 02
Espresso, dialled in
Grind, dose, tamp and extraction on a commercial machine. You’ll weigh and time every shot until it tastes right.
- 03
Milk like a pro
How milk behaves, and how to texture silky microfoam for flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos.
- 04
Latte art
A heart first, then a rosetta and a tulip. Elephant and peacock if you’re keen.
- 05
Assessment and certificate
An end-of-day assessment with your results, your Barista School Ireland certificate, and four weeks of email support.
We teach by the gram and the second
Great coffee is repeatable. These are the kinds of numbers you’ll work with on the day, and why each one matters.
Weighed on a scale for every shot, never guessed.
Coffee in to espresso out. Change it and the taste changes.
Too fast is sour, too slow is bitter. You learn to read both.
Sweet and silky. Hotter than that and the milk loses its sweetness.
A great day, start to finish
“Fantastic experience and a great way to not only enhance the CV.”
“Loved it, was such fun. Learned so much.”
“Great day, great course, would highly recommend.”

All questionsDo I need any experience?
None at all. The workshop suits complete beginners and home coffee lovers, people starting in a café, and café owners and managers.
Which course should I choose?
Most people start with the Barista Workshop, a full Saturday from bean to latte art. To pour better, try the two-hour Latte Art Masterclass. To work as a barista, the 3-day BSI/QBA includes a day of real work experience.

A lot. Classes are small, and on the Barista Workshop there’s coffee and milk for 70+ lattes between a class of six.
What do I need to bring?
Just yourself. All the equipment, coffee and milk are provided, and you take your notes home with you.
Is there an age limit?
You need to be at least 18 on the day of the course.

Yes. Get in touch and we’ll hold places for you, or ask about training your team at your own café.
