Did you know…?   “Barista” is an Italian term for a professional espresso coffee maker. In Italy, it takes 4 years to become a barista.   Baristas don’t make coffee, they “Create It”. Combining skilled craftsmanship, experience, passion and that special extra something, baristas make espresso that makes other coffees blush.

 “I attended the Home Barista course and found the course was conducted professionally, very informative and very practical as compared to the similar course that I have attended in TAFE last year. The instructor is very knowledgeable, experienced and helpful in answering any queries. I am now able to differentiate what is good and bad coffee and have the skills to make a cup of good aroma coffee. The free additional 2 hours practice is very helpful.        ....

“Thanks very much for the coffee session a couple of weeks ago.  I thought the hands on approach on the machines was fantastic, and it certainly educated me on what its all about.  Still striving for the perfect coffee - I need a better machine then the $149 Krups one I have as it simply does not have enough grunt to produce the goods.  Needless to say the caps are better than most of the ones around town.

 I think anyone who purchases a coffee machine for home use needs a course like yours.    ...John Edwards, Melbourne

 I've learned so much about the grinding and tamping and how much the operator and the extracting timing can influence a coffee. Thank you so much. It was such an enlightening and interesting session. I will become even more of a coffee snob now!
