The course

What it’s about

Barista Workshop Express is a shorter introduction for a mix of people and skill levels, from the total novice to someone already working in specialty coffee, and people who employ or supervise baristas.

You’ll learn where coffee comes from, how espresso is made, how milk works, and the drinks specialty coffee shops serve, then put it all into practice on the machine.
