Barista courses in Kelowna

Ever wanted to pull your own shots at home, or thinking about coffee as a job? Learn the craft hands-on, from people who do it every day.

Hands on, not slideshows

Real practice, real machine, real feedback.

These are small, relaxed sessions on a working espresso setup, the same way we learned. You'll spend most of the time with a portafilter in your hand, not watching someone else. We keep groups tiny so you actually get your reps in.

Whether you want to make a better morning coffee or you're weighing a job behind the bar, we'll meet you where you are.
