Description

The ONA Coffee Barista program of courses is designed to open your eyes to the world of coffee, and lift your coffee making skills to the next level.

We 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.

This course is jam packed, but it sets the foundation for accelerated learning in becoming an expert barista.

The Barista // Level 1 // Barista Foundations course is perfect for anyone that loves coffee and wants to learn how to make a great cup. No prior experience is required, however having some experience making coffee at home will get you off to a great start.

Class Outline:

  • Green-bean journey comparing Arabica vs Robusta, Washed vs Dry Process & the journey taken prior to the café
  • Introduction to the machine and grinder, safety warnings & how to achieve consistency with manual grinding & free-pouring shots
  • Analysing the correct espresso volume, time, dose, aroma, taste & colour
