Learn the art and craft of the modern barista with City Bean’s veteran coffee educator, Jackie Ruiz-Chab.

This 2.5 hour class is espresso focused, along with basic bar training and milk steaming techniques. We will cover grind setting, coffee life span, origin, roast levels, and over/under extraction. You will gain hands-on experience with dialing-in, tamping, and using a professional-grade espresso machine to pull a delicious shot of espresso. We finish with milk texturing and your first steps towards latte art, as well as properly cleaning your equipment. 

The Beginner class is ideal for anyone seeking foundational espresso training, such as:

• Home coffee enthusiasts wanting to broaden their knowledge

• Aspiring professional baristas looking to enhance their resume

• Coffee industry professionals (sales, admin, etc) seeking cross-training

• Anyone that loves great coffee!

All class participants also leave with a complimentary 12oz bag of City Bean coffee, and receive a 10% discount on all professional barista gear in our shop (valid day of class only).
