Being a good barista is much more than just knowing how to prepare espresso-based drinks. A true professional needs an excellent understanding of coffee theory, the equipment used, brewing methods, and preparation parameters — and that’s only part of the essential knowledge and skills.
We are ready to share our expertise so you can reach a high level of coffee mastery. That’s why we offer training for you and your baristas at our training centers located in 10 cities across Kazakhstan.
In addition, our trainers stay up to date with all the latest coffee trends and will gladly teach you alternative brewing methods. These coffee courses are designed to help baristas fully understand and explore coffee as a bean, a beverage, and a culture.
For our partners, we offer significant discounts on training because it’s very important to us that our coffee tastes great everywhere and in every café. We are ready to assist with equipment settings and help refine barista skills to achieve the perfect cup.
Beyond staff training, our trainers will also teach you how to properly adjust and maintain equipment so it always works flawlessly. They will explain how to handle regular preventive maintenance and manage consumable supplies.
Who our courses are for:
• For baristas — for those who strive to raise their level of professionalism.
• For bartenders — if your bar has a coffee machine, a bartender will be able to prepare truly delicious coffee.
• For students — you can easily combine studies with work.
• For creative people — new experiences, new knowledge, new impressions.
• For entrepreneurs — you will learn the secrets and rules that will help you open your own coffee shop while avoiding mistakes. And if you already have one, you will gain a deeper understanding of all the preparation processes and barista workflow organization.
