Coffee Knowledge and Cupping Sessions

Espresso Machine and Equipment Training
Operating and maintaining equipment correctly is critical in any café. Our equipment training covers espresso machines, grinders, tampers, and brewing devices. Trainees learn cleaning routines, calibration techniques, and troubleshooting methods to keep machines running smoothly.
Poorly maintained machines often result in costly repairs and substandard drinks. This training reduces downtime, extends equipment lifespan, and guarantees a consistent product.
Latte Art and Milk Science

Mastering milk steaming ensures drinks are silky, balanced, and visually appealing. This training elevates the café experience, turning every cappuccino into a showcase of skill.
