Berlin: Complete Barista Course for Espresso and Latte Art｜Germany

Immerse yourself in the world of coffee with a comprehensive barista course designed for both home enthusiasts and hospitality professionals. Over 6 hours and 15 minutes, you’ll join a small group of up to eight participants in Berlin to discover the secrets of authentic espresso and the art of milk frothing for beautiful latte art.

Begin by exploring the foundations of espresso, guided by the standards of the Italian Espresso Institute (INEI). Watch and practice every step: from adjusting the grinder and dosing coffee, to tamping, extracting, and recognizing common errors. Gain hands-on experience with professional ECM and Ascaso machines, and learn the importance of freshness and proper cleaning routines.

After a break for lunch at one of the many nearby cafés, dive into the world of milk. Experiment with regional fresh milk, vegan alternatives, and the innovative BCB milk substitute from Canada, all while minimizing waste. Perfect your milk frothing technique to create silky, microfoam textures and learn the free-pour methods for classic designs like hearts and leaves. Throughout the session, taste your own creations and ask any questions as you refine your skills.

The course concludes at the same location, leaving you with new confidence to craft espresso and cappuccino at home or in your workplace, and a set of practical techniques to continue your coffee journey.
