Description

The ONA Coffee Complete Home Barista course is full day intensive designed to open your eyes to the world of coffee and give you an extensive two part workshop providing the necessary skills to go and make your best coffee at home.

ONA Coffee supplies cafe businesses around Australia and the world as well as running leading cafes that push the boundaries of coffee service. With this wealth of experience we will teach you the essential skills making the best espresso and milk based coffees at home.

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, how to choose your best coffee for your end cup goals, and what preventative maintenance is important to ensure your machine is making the best coffee possible.

The Complete Home Barista Course is designed for both experienced and inexperienced home baristas. Home baristas and enthusiasts will have a jam packed a day full of learning.

Outline:

  • 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

Training was comprehensive and well-paced. The written training material covered A to Z of being a home barista, and the practical components of the training was more hands-on than anticipated. The practical skills taught during the course will be used well in my day to day coffee making at home. Highly recommended!

It was a good training ground for coffee lovers and those interested in learning the art of coffee. Good split between theory and practical which I really enjoyed. The tutor, Anthony, is really knowledgeable and passionate to help answer any questions we had and also guide us through the coffee making process! Loved it!
