We believe in helping businesses deliver better beverage quality unpretentiously. Starting with the basics, you’ll learn how to set up your workstation, pull shots, steam milk, pour latte art, and “talk coffee” with all of your customers.

Practical Knowledge and Testing
We see our tests as a way to measure progress, not to confuse you. They are there for you to internalize the information and come away from your online training with practical knowledge. Our certificate is not just a vanity thing, we want it to mean that a graduate has actually learned something and coffee shop owners can feel confident in that.
