Coffee training in Cleveland
Hands-on espresso and barista training for people who want more confidence at home or behind a professional coffee bar.
Find your classSmall groups. Real equipment. Direct, practical instruction.
These are not passive demonstrations. You will work with espresso, milk, grinders, and real café equipment while an instructor helps you understand what to change and why. Choose the class that matches where you want to use those skills.
Two ways to train
Both classes are hands-on and intentionally small. The difference is how deeply we go and where you plan to put the skills to work.
Home enthusiast training
Learn how to dial in espresso, texture milk, taste with intention, and build a repeatable routine for your home setup. No professional experience is required.
Professional barista training
Build the espresso technique, milk skills, workflow, and confidence needed to work behind a professional coffee bar or become more capable in your own shop.
Which class is right?
Coffee shop consulting is separate from scheduled barista training. Work with Tony on planning, equipment, workflow, operations, or private training shaped around your business and team.
