Espresso 101 Class
Public Barista Training Classes Give Coffee Lovers Hands-On Experience at the Art of Espresso.

Brew Ha Ha! has launched a unique barista training program to give avid espresso fans an insiders look at the art of making espresso. Now, Brew Ha Ha! is giving its customers the opportunity to make their own espresso – with a turn at the machine.

Each class will have a number of elements to give students a new perspective on the café experience and the drinks we produce. Students will be introduced to the language of espresso; they will take part in a latte art session to channel creative espresso energy for drink preparation and display. They will also share the pro’s recipes for the perfect cup. A barista lesson will put the class behind the counter to pull their own espresso drinks. Finally students will enjoy a taste testing where they will sample the most exotic of espresso drinks. Class members will walk away from this lesson with a better understanding of the art of making espresso and an appreciation for the barista who pulls their favorite coffee drink. It’s a hands-on experience with a unique twist.

A barista is the bartender of the coffee shop – pulling specialty espresso drinks with precision and ease. They are the atmosphere and the energy. Ever wondered about the lingo of the barista – the double ristretto? What makes an espresso so good? How does an espresso differ from a cappuccino? The art of espresso making far surpasses simply brewing with coffee beans. Baristas are trained in the art of making a specialty coffee drink. They must grind, pack and press the grounds – perfectly pulling a little cup of delicious art. A barista adds expression to espresso.

"We always have customers inquiring about how their favorite drinks are prepared," says Brew Ha Ha! owner Alisa Morkides. "Public barista training is a great way for our customer’s to learn about the espresso drinks they love and gain an appreciation for the pride our staff takes in its work."

Barista training classes are a perfect fit for any coffee lover. The classes are taught by our world-famous barista trainer, Greg Vogeley. Greg will lead you through the steps of espresso pulling – creating a brilliant aroma, preparing delicious drink and reestablishing a love affair with espresso.
