If you are a student, a barista or simply a coffee fanatic and if it’s nationally accredited courses you are looking for, you have come to the right place.
Whether you are looking for an immediate job or simply searching for espresso excellence, this course is for you. We have developed this course in conjunction with representatives from the coffee industry as well as representatives from educational bodies such as TAFE.
Barista Basics is $120 and is 3 hours in duration.
It is a 3-hour barista experience that actually teaches you how to identify all the key variables that go into making espresso-based coffee then moves on to instruct you on putting all of those variables together at speed to make excellent finished coffees.
The key variables that go into making espresso-based coffee:
Amongst other things;
using fresh coffee
using the right amount of coffee
using the right particle size (grind of the coffee)
using the right group handle
tamping correctly
having the right programming on the volumetric keypads on the espresso machine, therefore getting the right volume of espresso
using the correct drinking vessel to pour
using the correct milk texturing techniques
executing the pour properly and promptly after extracting the espresso
presenting the finished coffees properly
using a clean espresso machine/grinder with the right temperature and pressure
Barista Basics has evolved over the last 5 years. What started as a "learn to froth, adjust the grind and make coffee" course has now extended well beyond that into a power session that combines cutting-edge barista techniques with expert knowledge and advice.
Our aim is simple: to teach espresso using the national framework whilst maintaining the Italian espresso roots.
