Overview

Full hands-on training from bean to cup.

Full hands-on training from bean to cup — covering espresso extraction, milk texturing, latte art, and service standards, mentored by working professionals on commercial-grade equipment. Across five structured weeks and twelve modules, you'll move from your very first shot pull to plating a full menu of specialty drinks with the speed and consistency a real café floor demands.

This is our most comprehensive program, built for two kinds of people: complete beginners who've never touched an espresso machine, and working baristas who want to formalize real skills into a recognized qualification. Every session happens on the same commercial equipment used in specialty cafés, so what you practice in the lab is exactly what you'll do on your first shift.
