For those with no experience in coffee making that want to get an insight into the exciting world of coffee. On our coffee barista taster course you will be shown what goes into making great coffee and why freshness, grind and maintenance are so important.
Please note this course will only be run when we have a total of 4 people booked onto it.
Introduction
Time for everyone to get acquainted and a chance for us to make you a great cup of coffee (or hot chocolate) to get you started.
What's that about beans?
A look at different types of beans and a talk about the background of coffee.
The importance of the grind
A presentation on the importance of freshness of coffee and how it is ground. You will be invited to partake in a tasting of espressos to see what a difference these factors can make.
How do you like your milk?
We demonstrate the difference between a cappuccino and a latte and how that beautiful creamy foam is created. You will have the chance to have a go at making these two drinks yourself to get a feel of what a barista spends a lifetime perfecting.
The Menu
Taste a variety of drinks you would expect to find on any coffee shop menu... and a few that aren't.
Machine upkeep
We talk you through the importance of a well maintained machine and what to spot on a machine that isn't up to the job.
During the course you will be asked to participate in various activities and discussions.
Or if you have any questions we'd love to hear from you.
