You'll learn the fine art of coffee-making in this 3 hour course!

This is a very practical, hands-on course, so you can expect to have lots of time to practice your new skills! This course is perfect for: * people who have had no prior experience with coffee * people who have worked on espresso machines but have had no formal instruction * people who are competent in one or more aspects of coffee-making but need instruction on the finer aspects of being a barista, * people who simply have a passion for coffee and want to learn more about it. You're guaranteed to make coffee that will impress!
