Unlocking the Art of Coffee ☕️

Cathy Shearer —

Students discovered the art of coffee brewing in a barista course this week, learning how to brew the perfect cup!

Some of our senior students were fortunate to participate in a bespoke barista course with Industry Training Solutions this week. Students learnt the art and science of crafting the perfect cup of coffee! From espresso basics to latte art, the course covered all aspects of becoming a skilled barista.

Students delved into the history of coffee, gained understanding of different brewing methods, and perfected techniques for creating popular espresso-based drinks such as americanos, cappuccinos, lattes, and more!

The experienced instructors, David Clapperton and Adam Jones, guided students through the process of selecting and grinding beans, mastering the espresso machine, steaming milk to perfection, and serving up delicious beverages with flair!

Students also learnt about customer service, coffee presentation, and maintaining a clean and organised workspace. By the end of the course, students gained the confidence and skills needed to excel in any coffee shop or café.

As the course was so popular, the school is planning to run another course next term. So watch this space ☕️
