About The Class

Being a well versed barista takes a lot of practice, but building a strong foundation in the basic skills you need will help make the learning curve less steep and have you mastering a busy rush hour behind the bar in no time! Barista Fundamentals is a 2-day workshop that covers 5 segments:

– Coffee History & Processing (including an introduction to cupping)
– Espresso
– Milk Science & Latte Art
– Extraction Science (including an introduction to hand brewing)
– Cafe Drinks & Workflow

Students will have plenty of hands on time on the machines dialing in different coffees as espresso, steaming milk, and making lots of drinks.

Although this class is a focus on the foundations, students will leave feeling proficient and comfortable working behind the bar at a busy cafe. We’ll have a practical “exam” at the end of the course for students to see how far they’ve come in just 2 days, and in what areas they need to focus on going forward.

RNY Roaster Round Up! ☕️

This week we’re drinking a coffee from smallholder producers within Cooperative La Florida in Chanchamayo, Peru. We found it to be sweet and approachable, with top notes of candied nuts carried by a rich dark chocolate body.

RNY Roaster Round Up! ☕️

This week we’re excited to be drinking a fresh arrival from Timor-Leste. Unlike Indonesia, which borders it, it’s common practice for mills in Timor-Leste to fully wash their coffee rather than wet-hulling. This results in a smooth and sweet, but still very heavy bodied and chocolatey, flavor profile.
