Barista Basic Course QLD

During the 3 hour barista course you will learn the following:

* Where coffee comes from and how it was discovered by the Arabs and refined by the Italians (it''s funny that even most baristas don''t know that coffee is the seed from within a cherry that grows on a tree!)
* How coffee is grown and harvested (you need to know this if you are going to try and discover the many tastes and aromas of coffee from different origins)
* How coffee is blended and roasted (we have always said ''in the end it''s all in the blend'')
* How to pour the perfect espresso shot (under-extracted and it''s too weak . over-extracted and it''s too bitter - we tell you what you need to do to make it perfect)
* The art of frothing creamy, textured milk,
* How to pour all the drinks in a café menu with style (you think you can pour a cappuccino - but can you pour a vienna, long macchiato and
a doppio? - we show you how)
* Latte art (we show you a couple of quick designs - you will learn how the experts do it and be amazed at how easy it is
* How to clean your equipment to maintain the taste of your coffee.

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!
