Taught by our LAWCO (Latte Art World Championship Open) judges, Hands On Barista Training: Foundations is a comprehensive 3-hour class covering the essential skills of creating espresso-based beverages.

This barista foundations class is designed to give the skills needed to understand best practices for basic bar skills. Classes are small to ensure the highest level of one-on-one instruction and hands-on training.

Topics Covered:
· Espresso Extraction & Tamping Techniques
· Basic Grinder Fundamentals
· Understanding Key Milk Building Blocks
· How to Steam & Pour Properly Textured Milk
· Basic Drink Building

In this workshop, the barista will have time to work with the machine and receive hands on coaching. We recommended this workshop for baristas with little to no experience who are looking to develop strong espresso machine skills. This workshop is a mixture of lecture and hands on training.
