SCA CSP: Barista Skills Foundation

Join PCR as we host the Barista Skills Foundation course of SCA’s Coffee Skills Program. This course will be taught by our dear friend & international barista trainer Zoey Thorson.

The full-day Barista Foundation course is designed to introduce core barista skills to people with little to no previous barista experience. Students will gain hands-on experience using commercial espresso machines, learn to calibrate their grinders and make classic espresso drinks (espresso, cappuccino, latte, and americano) to standard.

Topics covered in this class include:
Coffee Growing Regions
Understanding Coffee Beans
Basic Barista Skills: Grind, Dose, Tamp, Extract
Workspace Management
Brewing And Extraction Principles
Milk Preparation
Drink Building
Hygiene, Health, And Safety
