Master Barista Advanced Coffee Course
What is the Experience?
This master coffee course will turn you into a true barista, no matter if you are looking for a job as a barista, run a café or are just passionate about coffee. During this two-part course our industry-trained instructors will coach you in all the skills needed to make fantastic coffee!
Your coffee course consists of two components that can be attended back-to-back or on separate days.
During the three-hour basics class you will learn:
- Where coffee comes from and how it was discovered by the Arabs and refined by the Italians (even most baristas don't know that coffee is the seed from within a cherry that grows on a tree!)
- How coffee is grown and harvested (you need to know this if you are going to discover the many tastes and aromas of coffee from different origins)
- How coffee is blended and roasted (we have always said 'in the end, it's all in the blend')
- How to pour the perfect espresso shot (under-extracted and it's too weak, over-extracted and it's too bitter - we tell you how to make it perfect)
- The art of frothing creamy, textured milk (you don't want to create 'roadhouse' froth and we show you how to avoid it!)
- How to pour all the drinks in a café menu with style (you think you can pour a cappuccino - but can you pour a vienna, long macchiato and a doppio?)
- How to clean your equipment to maintain the taste of your coffee.
During the two-hour coffee art class you will learn:
- Advanced training in etching, fudge art and free-pouring
There will also be a TAFE certificate included, as well as a TAFE Transcript of Academic Record. Important Note: We are the only independent training facility in Australia able to offer a TAFE Statement of Attainment as well as a Transcript of Results that relates to the national competency in coffee-making. This means that we have been audited by the TAFE system, our teachers have Cert IV qualifications and our course teaches people exactly what is necessary (and a lot more!) to be competent in making coffee.
Venue:
We run courses in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane CBD.
Session Length
This course consists of two components - 1x3 hours and 1x2 hours, which you can take back-to-back or on different days. Courses are run on selected dates throughout the year at various times during the day. Please contact us for more specific details.
