Sign up for a “Coffee World” coffee-making course today
The Coffee World course deals with the practical skills and knowledg2required to make and serve a great cup of coffee, from selecting the right beans, using and caring for an expresso coffee machine, to final presentation.
It covers essentials such as storage of coffee beans, as well as machine care and maintenance procedures. Each successful student will receive a copy of our Coffee World instruction booklet on how to keep your coffee machine in top working order.
The course is limited to six students per class so everyone is kept busy from start to finish with ‘hands-on’ experience. At the end of the course, the students are assessed by our experienced trainers for their national barista certificate.
Extract from the booklet
Every coffee machine is a bit different. For simplicity, this diagram illustrates a single-reservoir steam machine. The raised area on the top of the machine is called the lid. This is where you put the beans. Just below this is the steam valve. In the centre of the machine is a pipe through which the steam can exit, which is used to froth up the milk. The technical name for this pipe is the steam wand. The wand can also be used for warming cups. The model shown here has one single water tank. The water is heated in this tank in all steam machines.
