Barista Training Services

While our primary focus is barista courses, we also provide additional services for the specialty coffee scene in Melbourne. Over the years, our team has worked in all areas of the coffee industry - from barista work, wholesale training, running cafes, quality control and even roasting coffee. With our range of skills and experience, we want nothing more than to help cafes, baristas and home users succeed in making the best coffee possible.

 

Private Coffee Classes

We offer customised private coffee classes for individuals and larger groups. These classes can be tailored to suit individuals looking for one on one training or for larger groups looking for an interactive and educational experience that builds morale within a team. Group classes could range from in-depth coffee tastings to latte art and home brewing courses.

Do you have a home/office espresso setup and are struggling to get decent results? We can come to you for a private barista training session to bring out the best in your equipment. We will calibrate and check your equipment and provide private training in the comfort of your own home.

Please get in touch through the form below and we would love to discuss the various options we have. 

 
 

Cafe Consulting

Are you planning to open a cafe but lack the experience working within the coffee industry? We bring our skills, training and expertise from over 50 years of experience to set your cafe up for success. This service is more than general advice on how to set up a café. We follow through with our initial consultation by placing one of our experienced barista trainers into the venue for 2-4 weeks to properly establish the business. This ensures all operations, procedures and employees are fully established before handover.
