The art of perfect coffee making

Do you dream of the perfect espresso with a thick crema, or a cappuccino with silky milk foam like you only find in Italy? Our Barista Course takes you on an adventurous journey through the world of the “black elixir”.

We give you the know-how and the practical skills to treat your guests at home like a true professional. In three intensive hours you’ll learn everything you need to know about modern coffee preparation.

Theory & inspiration: the foundation of flavour

A good barista understands their product right down to its roots. That’s why we start this coffee course with a journey through time and botany:

  • Bean basics What sets Arabica apart from Robusta? We explain the differences between the varieties and growing regions. More on our blog: Arabica vs. Robusta compared · The top 10 coffee-growing countries
