The Premium Barista Workshop – content & structure

Standard layout (most chosen)

⏱ Duration: 2 hours

The most commonly chosen form is a 2-hour workshop , consisting of theory and practice.

1. Theoretical presentation – The journey of coffee

A clear explanation about:

  • Origin and growing conditions of coffee
  • Processing, transport and quality differences
  • Roast date, freshness and oxidation of fats
  • Influence of roasting on taste and extraction
  • Difference between blends and single origin

Goal:
Employees learn to make conscious choices when purchasing coffee beans and understand why coffee tastes the way it does — instead of working on routine.

2. Practice on the work floor

  • Adjusting the coffee grinder to your beans
  • Brewing consistent espressos at a fast pace
  • Improving milk texture for cappuccino and latte
  • Working with more peace and clarity behind the bar

Everything is applied to your own equipment , so that theory immediately becomes meaningful in daily practice.
