Damon Schmetzer Coffee Training

VALUED AT: $110 PER PERSON

The Beginner Barista Course is designed to open your eyes to the world of coffee.

Damon will equip you with the technical skills to competently operate an espresso machine. The variables are endless, however, there are three main areas to focus on that can make or break a coffee from cup to cup; Extractions, Milk Stretching & Pouring. By the end of this course, you will have a greater understanding of the correct way to perform these skills.

The Beginner Course is perfect for the home or (soon to be) professional barista, as well as anyone with no or limited experience with coffee.
