The key to a successful espresso operation is return sales and the best guarantee of this is to serve exceptional espresso.

Espresso preparation is a skill that requires a depth of understanding, and it is learnt through training and practice. Training is not a one-off event, it should be an ongoing programme encouraged at every level in your café. There are no shortcuts to becoming a top barista and to support your espresso operation we offer a number of classes.

Training at the Roastery

We believe dedicated training time with no distractions is the most effective way for our expert traning team to teach the skills for espresso preparation. The ‘Perfect Cup’ class and the ‘Milk Workshop’ are offered on a regular weekly basis in our training room. To ensure the maximum level of participation and allow everyone hands-on involvement there are no more than five people per class.

Perfect Cup Class

This is an introduction to the fundamentals of espresso preparation. The class content includes dosing, tamping, extraction volume and time, grind adjustment, milk steaming and machine cleaning procedures.

Milk Workshop

As a follow up to the Perfect Cup Class the Milk Workshop revisits and advances on milk steaming and pouring techniques.

Ongoing Support

As your coffee supplier we have a genuine interest in your success. After attending classes we will continue to support you with training. Whether starting up a new business, purchasing an existing one, or changing coffee supply to Allpress Espresso, we are happy to discuss specific training needs.
