With over 40 years’ experience within the coffee industry we’ve learnt a few things along the way. We love passing on our knowledge and expertise allowing you to produce amazing coffee.
Barista coffee training is a crucial component, ensuring you and your team members meet your customers’ expectations now and in the future. John Street Beverage offers a wide range of barista courses and training literature to fit individual needs and budgets, helping develop and improve skills, techniques and hot beverage offerings.
The Foundation course focuses on barista basics, developing a skill-set on a traditional espresso machine and grinder. You will gain a great insight into the correct procedures required to produce all espresso-based drinks, along with steaming and texturising milk and how to correctly construct the drinks on your coffee menu.
Our Advanced course has been designed for those baristas who have a real passion for coffee and builds on the Foundation course above, whilst emphasising the importance of cleaning and customer service. This will also promote confidence and an understanding in training staff and/or team members to a significantly high standard.
The VRQ City & Guilds Level 2 Barista Foundation qualification offers comprehensive training and education in barista skills that range from the history of the coffee bean to customer service. The qualification itself is accredited by both City & Guilds and the BSA (Beverage Service Association).
Latte Art is our most popular course for those who have already covered either the Foundation or Advanced course. During our latte art training you will understand the milk steaming process and how to create perfect micro foam time after time. Once mastered, you will learn how to pour creating a heart and Rosetta.
Coffee Training Literature
Coffee preparation, extraction, producing espresso-based specialty drinks and the machine cleanliness can be made to sound over complicated and an exact science, this comprehensive training manual has been aimed at providing all the information you need to produce the best out of our coffee in a simple and easy to understand guide. Quick reference laminated sheets also help with all the relevant information to teach others ensuring they have the skills and knowledge to make the highest quality espresso- based specialty beverages.
