Description

Curriculum/Course outline

Barista One is a course that guides newcomers to a professional standard in just twenty hours. It is an espresso course and certification which teaches you everything you need to know to work effectively in a modern cafe. Lessons are taught by world champion barista Matt Perger, featuring over 40 videos, and more than 50 individual lessons.

What’s in Each Chapter?

The course is structured across seven chapters. In a prologue, we get students up to speed with all the part names and common terms used by baristas. Chapter One is dedicated to the mechanics of espresso making. This essential lesson shows you the physical movements and techniques used to dose and tamp the coffee grinds to achieve even extractions.

In Chapter Two we introduce the approach to coffee making that uses recipes, just like a commercial kitchen. We discuss the best practice for weighing beverages and tracking how long shots take to brew. Then in Chapter Three, we put it all together and troubleshoot any problems that can arise that may lead to uneven extractions and channelling.

In Chapter four and five we dive into milk texturing and latte art. This essential work prepares baristas for making the most popular drinks on the modern cafe menu. After addressing the importance of presentation, we then cover the full menu, looking at popular drinks and traditions from Italian coffee culture, but also some modern approaches like cold brew too.

The course concludes with a run down in professionalism behind the bar — we address hygiene and station management. We also cover efficiency and show you strategies to help you keep pace in a busy commercial environment. In the final chapter, we then come to the final assessment. This challenging quiz is designed to make sure you understand every important learning outcome.
