Beginner barista course run by 200 Degrees' head baristas, from bean to cup, espresso and latte art, for over-16s.
200 Degrees are running their Beginner Barista Coffee Course in Lincoln on Saturday 24 October. It's a three-hour session led by their own Head Baristas, so you're learning from the people who actually run the shops rather than a visiting instructor. The whole thing is designed for beginners, so you don't need to know your way around a machine to get stuck in.
The morning starts with the theory: the journey from bean to cup. They cover how coffee is grown, the different origins and processing techniques, and the roasting and quality side of things. There's also a bit of the science and history behind it all, so you'll have a decent handle on what's actually happening in the cup before you even touch the equipment.
Once you're past the theory, you move on to the practical. You'll learn how to dial in a grinder, steam milk, pull an espresso, and pour latte art. They also walk you through the differences between a latte, a cappuccino, and a flat white, so you'll know exactly what you're ordering next time you're in. It's a hands-on morning, and you'll leave with a certificate to show for 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 to take home too: a free 250g bag of coffee or a pack of coffee pods, and a 10% voucher to use in their shops. The session is for over-16s, and anyone under 18 needs to be accompanied by an adult. It costs £100, and since it's run by 200 Degrees' own Head Baristas, you're getting the course straight from the source.
