Beginner barista course for two covering coffee from bean to cup, espresso and latte art, with a certificate and a free bag of coffee.
200 Degrees in Lincoln is running a beginner barista coffee course for two on Thursday 29 October, and it's built for exactly that — people who've never touched an espresso machine before. It's run by the venue's head baristas, so you're learning from the people who actually work the machines every day rather than a visiting instructor.
The session takes you through the whole journey from bean to cup, which is a fair bit more than just pressing a button. You start with the origins: how coffee is grown, the different processing techniques, and how roasting affects the final quality. From there it moves into the practical side of things — pulling espresso, steaming milk, and pouring latte art. People who've done it have called it comprehensive, and that's because it doesn't skip the early stages; you'll see how the coffee gets from the farm to the roaster before you ever touch the machine.
It's a course for two, so it works as a shared thing — a couple's activity, a treat for a friend, or just a way to learn something new together. The minimum age is 16, and anyone under 18 needs to be accompanied by an adult.
