Bean Culture is a boutique coffee roasting company in Canberra, Australia. We specialise in corporate coffee events and working with local cafes.

It’s no secret that Australia has a long-standing love affair with coffee. No longer is coffee simply a drink, it’s a culture, a religion, something akin to divinity. We worship the humble coffee bean and its hallowed grounds. At Bean Culture, we think of our roastery as a place of worship and our baristas as our leaders, authorised to perform the sacred rituals of our faith: grinding, roasting, extracting, frothing and pouring.

At Bean Culture we are passionate about all things coffee and we want to share this passion with as many people as possible. The art of coffee is not something that can be picked up overnight. It takes passion, knowledge, and practice, but with enough dedication and the right guidance, you too can master the art of the perfect brew.

We offer barista training Canberra locals can trust. Based in Mitchell, Canberra, Bean Culture is the first roastery to boast an open space coffee roastery and professional barista training. From bean roasting beginner to latte art extraordinaire, our training courses are specially designed to give you the knowledge, passion and skills you need to succeed. We cater to all levels of experience and tailor each class to each group. You can learn more about the history and culture of coffee, while mastering a range of techniques, including coffee machine operation, cleaning and maintenance of equipment, milk texturing, bean roasting and grinding, espresso preparation and presentation.

It was a good sessions, engaging and enjoyable lesson. A facilitator was nice and the way he delivered was understandable and got opportunity to learn practically. Facility was equipped well and had a chance to learn everything individually with guidance from the facilitator. Overall, I love it.

Derek James Nov 2023


Really pleased with what was taught in the 2 hour session. Learning how to develop and stick to a coffee recipe, guidance on texturing milk and then trying my hand at latte art, all while getting lots of hands-on time using professional equipment was a really enjoyable experience.

Jamie Ericson Aug 2023


This was such a great class. We did it for something fun and different to do, but it has given me a whole new respect for baristas and the science and precision behind good coffee. The instructor and venue were both great. Would highly recommend.

The experience was great! Everything that we learnt was very interesting and informative. Loved steaming and making the milk/art. Sad that we didn't get to try it. Had tons of fun.

I absolutely loved learning about coffee, and I appreciated the teacher's method of starting from the beginning. I really did enjoy myself a lot. The instructor addressed all of our questions and made sure we were engaged in the material and having fun while learning it. I struggled with my artwork but he insisted in training me and gave me numerous opportunities to try. Totally enjoyed very bit of it.
Thank you so much .

The course today was terrific. All of my questions were answered and shown. Great venue - love that we learned n a dedicated space in a working cafe

Learning from a man who is passionate about his coffee, incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly made the hours pass very quickly.

Having a small group meant nothing was forgotten.

Loved it! (Even if I will continue to draw stick flowers when trying to do latte art!)

Nguyen Huynh Dec 2022


This course is valuable. I had new experiences and also learned the basics to advance about coffee. The teacher was very nice, he was willing to answer all questions.

What a great class and a great tutor.
Z (he pronounced his name as that, but I dare say it's spelt in a longer way) was personable, patient and a what a pleasure to be a student in his class.
Fantastic coffee machines to learn on.

Isabella Watts Sep 2022


I did the introduction course with Amzah. I have no barista experience and found the course perfect. I learnt a lot. It’s a very detailed course but also easy to understand. I learnt how to use a grinder, make latte art, different coffee recipes and much more. Highly recommend!

Graham Stitz Aug 2021


Great! Enjoyed learning about the why’s rather than just ’do it my way’. Personable, patient and knew his stuff, always ready with an explanation and encouraging of my attempts at latte art. Many helpful hints. Fantastic!

Emma Sheather Jul 2021

I was lucky enough to have a one on one lesson at Bean Coulture. Was shown the coffee machine, how to use it and clean it, and how to do the milk. Was a really good course and learnt a lot about coffee. Justin certainly had the knowledge and made it easy to learn how to brew. Highly recommended.

Olivia Ferrer Feb 2021


Really informative and was catered to our experience level. Even helped fix our grinder saving us from replacing it

Toby Clarke Sep 2020


Toby felt very comfortable and enjoyed the class so much. Her teacher and the environment was fantastic. Would recommend this course for anyone who is interested in making a great coffee or a job in the industry.

Benjamin Macdonald Jul 2020


When I started I was alittle confused. The booking was strange (taked about haveing a party up to 20 poeple) and the loctaion was hard to find. But when I got there WOW, they where really friendly and as I have never poured a coffee they were able to teach really easily because of the equipment they had on hand. The best thing about it was the teacher Bardley, he is just a chill dude and instead of it feeling like a class. It felt I was on the first day on the job and he was my co-working just teaching me the ropes. I would really recomend just talking the course for any reason work or just to show off skill. (the photo below the left coffee was the last one I made and the right coffee was my first try.)
