WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE COURSE

We’ll start the morning with theory—exploring the journey of a coffee bean from farm to cup. Together, we’ll prepare a cupping session with our current coffee offerings and learn the basics of sensory analysis so you can identify and describe the flavors and aromas you experience.

After a lunch break, we’ll shift our focus to espresso—how to prepare it to achieve a balanced taste, and the various drinks based on it. The day will conclude with practical training at the espresso machines. You’ll practice latte art techniques and learn how to create a basic heart design.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid foundation in espresso preparation and milk-based drinks, along with the knowledge to continue improving your skills.
