Traditional Barista school is expensive and for many not a possibility not only due to the expense, but because of the availability of training facilities. The Specialty Coffee/Espresso industry is one of the biggest U.S industries and growing every year and a common problem today is there is just not enough training resources for those in the industry. This has all changed with the introduction of Online Barista Training.
What is Online Barista Training? Well simply put its training for Barista’s that is conducted online. A good training course will include a instructional manual along with a workbook, instructional videos, and will provide a introduction to espresso equipment along with a introduction to commonly ordered drinks.
After completing Online Barista Training you will be able to ensure quality control and be able to confidently make necessary quality checks and adjust the equipment accordingly to consistently produce only the highest quality espresso and coffee based beverages, also you will gain advanced techniques such as knowing how to properly dose and calibrate your grinder to ensure that you are always pouring the perfect espresso and you will also have extensive knowledge on different types of espresso based drinks, for example Cafe Latte, Cappuccino, Mocha, and how to prepare and serve them to a high standard.
You don’t have to be a coffee connoisseur to tell the difference between a properly prepared espresso drink and one that is not and there is nothing more frustrating to a potential loyal customer than spending their last five bucks on a desperately needed morning cup o’ Joe to be disappointed by a poorly trained Barista
