Barista course for budding coffee enthusiasts covering coffee from bean to cup, espresso, milk steaming and latte art, run by 200 Degrees' head baristas.
200 Degrees are running their Coffee Fundamentals course in Lincoln on Thursday 29 October. It's a three-hour session run by their head baristas, and it's aimed at budding coffee enthusiasts and anyone new to making coffee on an espresso machine. The whole thing follows the journey from bean to cup, so you're not just jumping straight into the practical side of things.
It starts with the history and science of coffee, then moves through growing and origin, roasting and quality, and how to make a proper espresso. From there, you'll get into the art of steaming milk and pouring latte art, and how to 'dial in' a grinder — that bit of tweaking that makes the difference between a flat cup and a great one. It's open to over-16s, though under-18s need to be accompanied by an adult.
When you finish, you don't leave empty-handed. You get a certificate, a free 250g bag of coffee or a pack of coffee pods, and a 10% voucher to use in their shops. People who've done it call it comprehensive and recommend it to any coffee lover, so if you've ever wanted to understand what's actually happening inside your machine, this is a good place to start.
