Three-hour beginner barista course led by 200 Degrees head baristas, from bean to cup, espresso and latte art, with a coffee voucher and certificate.
200 Degrees are running a beginner barista course in Lincoln on Monday 26 October, and it's one of those things that's a bit of a treat if you've always wanted to get a handle on your coffee. It's a three-hour session led by their head baristas, and they take you through the whole journey from bean to cup — the history, the science, and the practical side of actually making the drink.
It's pitched at a few different types of person: budding coffee enthusiasts, people who've just bought an espresso machine and aren't quite sure how to use it, and anyone looking to kick-start a professional barista journey. Over the three hours, you'll cover coffee growing, roasting, grinding, tamping, espresso extraction, milk steaming, and latte art. It's a fair bit of ground to cover in one morning, so you'll get a look at the whole process rather than just one part of it.
Every week we pick 🏆 the 5 best 🏆 things to do in Lincoln and send them to your inbox. Just one weekly email, no spam.

There are a few extras included too. You'll walk away with a certificate, a 10% voucher to use in their shops, and your choice of a free 250g bag of coffee or a pack of coffee pods to take home. The minimum age is 16, and under-18s have to be accompanied by an adult. The course costs £100, and since it's run by 200 Degrees, you're learning from the people who actually do this for a living. Just keep in mind you need to book at least four weeks in advance, so if you're eyeing this one, don't leave it too late.
