Barista online course
Directly from home, no needing journeys, bureaucracy, and costs. Even in this way is possible to learn solid foundations for your barista skills and improve your coffee knowledge with the online barista course of Espresso Academy.
This course follows the classroom course program, of course, it has a less important practical part, but it allows you to acquire, in one day all the knowledge necessary to work on the coffee machine.
The course starts with a solid knowledge of the raw material: the coffee.
After a virtual (but real) visit to the coffee roaster, we begin to enter the coffee shop. What actually is the espresso? We learn the secrets of extraction, grinding and pressing, and even more advanced concepts such as TDS and the refractometer use.
Then milk: what is the role of fats, sugars, and proteins? What is the best position for the steamer? How do you get a shiny, bubble-free cream? We now combine coffee and milk in the cappuccino.
Let's learn how to do the classic Italian one, but also the basic rules for latte art, with the patterns of heart, rosetta, and tulip.
Still, we work on espresso macchiato, shakerato, and other typical Italian preparations. At the end, very important, the cleaning and maintenance of the espresso coffee machine.
