There’s a faster way to become a barista. And it’s not the one they usually show you.
While most people waste time trying to figure it out on their own, or spending money on long, expensive courses, I learned everything the hard way, on the floor, making coffee, getting my hands dirty and helping others do the same.
In over 7 years working in the coffee world, from small shops to 5-star resorts in Australia, I’ve trained over 1,000 baristas. That’s how I discovered exactly what someone needs to know to be hired and succeed. And it’s not what the schools teach.
So I created Barista Essential: a straight-to-the-point training, with 8 downloadable modules and my personal barista mindset training. No fluff. No theory for theory’s sake. Just what actually works.
This is the material I wished I had when I started, the shortcut I didn’t get, but you can!
