Learn To Make Real Café Style Coffee
Coffee Training runs short, simple and straight forward barista courses for people that want to learn the basics of coffee, without all the fuss.
This course is perfect for people that want to work in the cafe industry or for people that want to make great coffee at home.
All The Fuss?
This course is to learn how to make great coffee. I am only going to teach you the necessary information and techniques you will need to make great coffee.
No Fuss, No Irrelevant Information
The course is very much hands-on, designed to make sure that you are comfortable with the equipment and the coffee. There is no theory involved. The course is all practical and you will spend most of the time on the coffee machine.
We make all of the coffees one the NZ cafe menu, spending the first 30 minutes just practicing flat whites.
You will learn the basic foundations of what coffee should be and how to produce a quality product.
Students are making around 20 cups of coffee in a session.
It’s all about repetition. You only get better with practice. I do encourage students to taste a lot of the coffees that we make but don’t worry, you wont have to drink it all…
The Class
Coffee Training is a little different to other barista courses out there. We feel there is a lot of information being taught to people that is a total waste of time. I am teaching how to make real coffee in a cafe environment.
You will learn about what its like to be a barista and what it takes to be a great barista. You will not learn the history of coffee or how coffee beans are grown or what type of beans come from different countries. This sort of information often takes up half of the time in other training classes.
Sure a professional should know this information but you do not need to pay to learn this stuff, if you want to know, jump on Google.
NOW THIS IS FUN!
This is very important to me. We always have fun, laugh a lot, make a mess and everyone goes home happy. I find that if we have lots of fun, its much easier to learn.
ITS ALL IN THE HIPS…
There is no exact technique to making coffee. Everyone's a bit different. There is only YOUR technique. I can only show you some pointers and tips with a few tricks thrown in. I often refer to this as learning to play golf. You can learn a few ways to hit a ball, but only you will develop your own swing. There are a few bad habits that I will help you avoid but it’s whatever works best for you. Practice is the only thing that will help you discover your technique.
However a cup of coffee is assembled is irrelevant. Its the final result that is the test. The proof is in the cup.
We Wont Be Sleeping Tonight!
The class is kept short and sweet, about 2 hours. We find that 2 hours is a good amount of time to learn.
Some of our complete beginner students do one session and walk straight into a barista job. Others have come for a second session and others for a third.
Its best to do a session and see how you go. If you are a natural maybe that’s all you need. If you want to practice more come back for round 2.
The classes are small, up to four people at a time. This ensures everyone gets plenty of time using the equipment and keep up with the lesson.
CAN MUM COME TOO?
Its OK for parents to sit and watch the training in action. Please understand that you would just be chilling on the sidelines, enjoying some coffee tasters, and not interrupting the students.
I HAVE A GROUP THAT WANTS TO LEARN
I offer a group discount if you wish to book for more than 1 person. Just add to cart and checkout will work out the rest :)
