Barista Classes

Perhaps you own a café and would like your employees to learn how to use the espresso machine and treat your clients to a well-served coffee. Or perhaps you would be simply interested in learning more about the coffee that you sell. Either way, we can tailor our barista class to match your demand.

Coffee is a complex product and a lot of knowledge and practice lies behind brewing a cup of coffee. During a barista class, we will cover the theoretical knowledge behind coffee, the origins, the roasting process, and of course, practice the hands-on elements.

We are equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and the necessary equipment to teach you everything there is to know about the world of coffee.

The Nordic Roasting Intro Barista Class draws from both the vast literature available on and offline as well as from the professional experience of the teachers who have been working as baristas, roasters and trainers for more than 10 years. The class is focused on espresso and espresso-based drinks and looks to both professional and simple coffee lovers. At the end of the class, the trainees will gain both a theoretical and practical understanding of espresso brewing as well as basic latte art skills. The duration of the practical part can be extended according to the number of participants in order to allocate enough time for everyone to practice with the machines.

Topics covered: Espresso brewing, grinder dialling, dosing, grind settings, tamping. Milk and latte art. Milk steaming and texturing, pouring, and basic patterning. Focus on both animal and plant-based milk alternatives. Daily cleaning, maintenance, and workflow optimization.
