Why to attend a barista training

Hi there inspired coffee addict,

I was thinking the other days, watching some cooking shows on TV, and I realised that a lot of people are talking about food, a lot are thinking about taking a cooking class, but there are very few people thinking about taking a barista training, even though they drink coffee every day, and coffee is the most traded commodity, after oil.

The general perception is that making coffee is not that hard, you just use grinded coffee, hot water and it’s done. And probably the perceptions is right, but making a good coffee, correctly prepared is much harder, and it means knowing among others, how to identify and buy good, freshly roasted coffee, ideal brew parametrers according to the brew method, but also how to identify a correctly prepared coffee.

What is a barista?

The barista is the kind man that prepares your coffee at the coffee shop, and he has to know all the secrets of the trade, and joggle with the taste and aroma of freshly roasted coffee, for a great cup of coffee.

Why attend a barista training?

  1. You learn to make the difference between good coffee, and the rest
  2. You learn the history of coffee
  3. You learn how a correct cup of coffee is prepared, and make the difference between a correct and incorrect extraction
  4. You talk directly to coffee specialists

All of this and even more, you can learn from a barista training, that I recommend you take about specialty coffee.

A part of this information you can find on the blog, or you will shortly, but the practical part of the training is always a bonus.

To make it easier for you, here are a couple of recommendations of istitutions that are Specialty Coffee Association accredited, where you can attend a barista training.

Trainers at the Barista School are among others, Sebastian Farcaș – multiple latte art national campion, and Silvia Graham the founder of SCAE Romania. Among the gradutes of Barista School that are worth mentioning, is Alexandru Niculae – world roasting champion in 2016.

“Why would I recommend a barista training? A training can help strcture your knowledge. It can open your horizon and understanding of this magical product. To prepare coffee, means that you know the plant, the species, variaty, processing method, the way it was harvested, roasted, and just after that comes the preparation skills. Any man that whishes to excel in the art of coffee making, must attend a barista training.”
