Espresso Academy works alongside its partners to grow together through certified training, communication, and network development in a constantly evolving coffee world.
Espresso Academy, a long journey of passion, from Italy to the world.
- When we founded Espresso Academy in 2007 the idea behind was simple: we wanted coffee education to be practical, enjoyable, and accessible in an industry that felt rigid, costly, and filled with untested "truths."
- Soon after, our vision became our motto “Happy Coffee People” and we’re so proud of it! Every year, thousands of students from the world join us at our Italian Barista School.
- Our online presence also leads globally in web traffic for “in-class coffee courses” (Google), motivating us even more!
- Since 2018, we’ve shared our “Happy Coffee People” approach worldwide through the Espresso Academy Method (AKA Italian Barista Certificate) spreading the Italian barista school spirit to coffee lovers everywhere.
With our partners worldwide, we offer training, certification and continuous support, building a global coffee community that allows every Espresso Academy partner to grow, as well as coffee culture growing worldwide, as well as the “Happy Coffee People,” tribe growing every day!
