Barista Training: Introduction to Coffee

The Coffee Skills Program is unique in that you can choose the education path to suit your individual interest and needs. All levels of baristas are welcome! No matter how much (or little) experience you may have, Intro to Coffee is the place to start. After that you can participate in Barista Skills and Brewing courses, at either the Foundations or Intermediate levels. Additionally, these courses can be taken individually or bundled. Each of the coffee classes in this program will take you one step closer to becoming an SCA Certified Barista!

Introduction to Coffee covers “coffee’s journey from its origins in Ethiopia to the major commodity it is today. From growing the cherries through grading, roasting, and brewing, this module provides an overview of the value chain.”
