Unlike signing up for a barista certificate course, our coffee workshops are flexible and accessible for everyone, one of the many reasons our barista courses are a must-do in Sydney. There are coffee classes for all levels and interests, from learning the barista basics of pour-over techniques to learning how to use a machine just like you would in formal barista school.

Everybody loves a good cup of coffee, which is why coffee workshops are some of the best things to do in Sydney for any occasion.

In a typical barista course, your expert coffee-loving instructor will break down the process of coffee making into simple steps for you to follow easily. Then, whether you’ve signed up for a latte art course or a barista basics workshop, you’ll get the chance to step behind the machine to practice, experiment and try out your new skills. By the end of the class, you’ll not only be impressed by the perfect cup of coffee you have just made. You might even feel ready to go to the barista school to step up your game, and feel empowered to gain that dream barista job, or even be inspired to open your own coffee shop. At the very least, you’ll know how to make a perfect cup of coffee at home to enjoy and share with family and friends!

Health benefits of coffee

In the last few years, science has been revealing the long-hidden benefits of coffee! But even if this tasty beverage wasn’t filled with antioxidants, coffee making is still a relaxing, mindful and meditative practice. Making coffee provides an excellent sensorial experience, ideal to prevent memory loss, that involves observing, touching, smelling and tasting. Once you learn the barista basics, you’ll love the daily ritual of grinding the beans, boiling your water, and smelling the sweet aroma of freshly brewed coffee at morning to start the day the best possible way!

Silvia was fantastic. I'd highly recommend this class. The description is spot on -- it's an absolutely beginner class. She takes you from how to grind coffee/work the machines, all the way through to how to add milk + clean up the machines afterward. I am new to Australia and espresso machines. I recently purchased one and had a million questions :) She thoughtfully and expertly answered all of them. The small class size means you get to really learn and experiment. The best part is the instruction booklet Silvia gives you afterwards so that you can pay attention during the class and then check your notes afterward (to see where you went wrong :)) Plus you leave with a barista certificate and a new sense of confidence that you can make a good cup of coffee. Take this class!

Jake and I have learnt so much about coffee culture. We now see coffee in a whole new light and will definitely appreciate the substance behind every single cuppa. Highly recommended. Small class of 4. We each had a complimentary pack of coffee beans after the class.

Silvia was really helpful and kind. She explained everything
thoroughly what to do from the moment you enter a coffee shop and prepare the machines, until cleaning and closing. The venue was a little hard to find, but we managed to find it by asking around. Overall the class was a really good value for money. She even managed to give us some tips on what to do on a barista job trial which is super helpful indeed. Thank you silvia!

Everything was clear, even for a beginner like me, I had fun learning the fundamental skills for brewing the coffee. Highly recommended to try the class out, plus, it's only two people (and the teacher) per session, which is just great. We can fully focus and stay active until the class ends.

I can highly recommend this class, learning from Silvia I was a great experience. As this was 1:1 we had a lot of time for me to practice the things I was struggling with. Silvia was very particular and also taught me a lot of handy tips to troubleshoot in case the equipment did not work as expected.
