“I opened a coffee shop 15 months ago and I can truly say I did not know anything about espresso. Latte, Cappuccino? Give me a Bunn and some ground Folgers and I can make a good cup of coffee but espresso? After learning all the modules through Online Barista Training, I put my new knowledge to work with my new shop and espresso machine. The course paid off! I now have the ‘Best of Espresso’ shop in Sidney, MT. My client base increases daily because we do things right and we know how to tweak the grinder or machine for the perfect shot of espresso and how to apply that shot to an amazing drink. Customers keep coming back with their friends to let them taste a work of art! Thank you so much Online Barista Training!”
