We recently hosted our first Coffee Course in our new training space at our coffee roastery in Durham and it was such fun we just had to tell you more about our coffee courses!

In case you don’t already know, we absolutely love sharing our passion for coffee with others. Having previously had great success with our coffee courses when we ran our café, we decided to expand and create a series of courses allowing us to dive even deeper into the world of coffee and roasting. Our coffee courses are designed to quench your thirst for coffee knowledge, hone your brewing skills and prepare you to serve up the best coffees customers, friends and family want to come back for.

We have launched two courses, our Home Brew Course and our Barista Course, both of which are designed to be enjoyed by beginners and coffee enthusiasts alike who want to spend a morning immersed in the world of coffee; learning, experimenting and tasting. Depending on the course there will only ever be a max of 6 ppl. We like to keep the numbers small and intimate to allow everyone to feel included and get plenty of hands on experience when it comes to the likes of brewing coffees and steaming milk. Our courses are all 3hs long, although admittedly we do like to get into things and love to take the time to answer all your questions, so if you’re not in a hurry you can be sure we’re likely to run over the finish time.

Our Home Brew Course is for anybody wanting to expand their knowledge on various home brewing methods from the French Press to the Mokka Pot.

Join us on this course as we delve into the wonderful world of coffee. We will introduce you to some interesting coffee facts and show you how to prepare great coffee at home. Our Coffee Lover’s Beginners Course will teach you about various home brewing methods, give you the opportunity for hands-on experimenting and of course plenty of coffee tasting; so make sure you are coffee thirsty! After completing our this course you will be ready to impress your visitors at home with your coffee expertise!

Our Barista Course is for people who want to top-up their knowledge working with a professional Espresso Machine

Join us on this course and delve into the exciting world of making espresso-based coffees. We will focus on espresso based coffees only and teach you how to be a confident Barista. Learning on our LaSpaziale S5 Espresso Machine, you will be introduced to what it takes to pull the perfect shot and steam decent milk for latte art, look at different coffee ratios and how to create a menu, learn how to look after your machine and, of course, try and taste plenty of coffee. After completing this course, you will be more confident in using an Espresso Machine and ready to impress friends, family and employers.

Have you ever dreamt of running your own coffee shop or perhaps adventuring from festival to festival with a quirky little coffee van?! Then we also offer our How To Start A Coffee Shop Course .

We want you to set up your business for success from the get-go, and our How To Start A Coffee Shop Course will provide you with fundamental information on the running of a coffee shop and all it entails, giving you the confidence to take that next leap.
