What Our Students Say

Coffee Game-Changer!

I never thought I’d be the ‘office barista,’ but thanks to this course, I’m impressing my coworkers with perfect espressos and frothy lattes. My mornings are more caffeinated and fun than ever!

Aaron L.

Best Investment in My Coffee Journey!

This course demystified latte art for me. I feel so confident with my coffee setup at home now, and my friends are always asking for my ‘signature’ macchiatos!

Chuck A.

From Amateur to Coffee Pro!

I used to dread my old, mediocre morning coffee. Now, I can make incredible coffee right in my kitchen, and it’s all thanks to Online Barista Training. The course was easy to follow and super engaging!

Cheryl A.

Transformative Experience!

Before this course, I could barely use my espresso machine. Now, I’m making cappuccinos and lattes at home that rival my favorite café. Online Barista Training gave me the skills I needed to master my morning routine!

25+ years of excellence

“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!”
