DurationWe’ll take you from complete novice to making cafe-quality drinks in 2 days
One of the largest investments you’ll have to make when opening a coffee shop is your espresso machine, so you better know what you’re doing. Our trainers also have technician experience so you don’t just learn how to use an espresso machine, but also how to keep your investment working for many long years.
Of course, espresso is only half the battle. We’ll also walk you through the finicky process of learning to steam and pour milk. You’ll even practice latte art.
Above all else, we’re here to give you one-on-one attention and make you confident about opening a coffee business.
No experience is needed. We’ve helped hundreds of people learn to make coffee professionally and start their own businesses.
