Barista Level 2 is an intensive course designed for those who want to take their coffee knowledge to the next level.
It is ideal for baristas and coffee lovers with basic experience who want to deeply understand taste, equipment, and the decisions behind a well-executed espresso and brew.

The course combines theory with extensive hands-on practice, focusing on the why, not just the how.

Practical sessions include:

• Cupping of 4 different coffees (origin, process, variety, roast profile)

• Espresso recipe setup and taste evaluation

• Tamping & distribution and their importance

• Espresso taste differences (stretto, normal, lungo)

On day two, the focus shifts to milk, plant-based alternatives, and brewing:

• Proper milk and plant-based milk foaming

• Zero waste milk practices & milk menu differences

• Cappuccino preparation and basic latte art

• Hand brew & batch brew using different devices and recipes
