Get ready to be hired as a barista faster than you think, with a practical, straight-to-the-point, 100% digital training.
The 8 essential modules that will teach you everything you need to confidently step behind the counter, even if you’ve never worked with coffee before.
How to master the classic drinks every café requires, like espresso, cappuccino, and latte, without paying for expensive courses or spending months studying.
This guide is based on real barista experience developed in Australia´s specialty coffee scene, one of the most respected coffee cultures in the world.
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.
That’s how I discovered exactly what someone needs to know to be hired and succeed. And it’s now what our school 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!
