The End of Traditional Barista Training

You (or one of your baristas) currently train your staff

You know how important drink consistency is amongst your baristas…

You want to give your customers the best experience possible…

But here you are, training your baristas the same way it’s always been done, hoping they’re retaining everything you’re teaching them, and paying an extra person to be on staff again and again, each time someone new gets hired. You’ve got a business to run, and staff training has you feeling like you’re in groundhog day, going through the motions again and again.

The Best Investment for Your Cafe

It’s easy to get overwhelmed

…when you’re running a coffee shop (or multiple coffee shops). You know that other cafe’s training systems must not have their owner’s pulling their hair out. You’ve taken management classes, read countless articles and seen plenty of businesses that no matter who is working, every barista consistently turns out amazing drink after amazing drink.

But a streamlined, easy-to-replicate training system for your cafe, for every single one of your baristas? Well, that can seem like a pipe dream. Instead, you’re…

…sound about right?

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 Barista Coffee School online classes; 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!”

Make the Best Coffee Consistently

It’s one thing to have barista knowledge yourself. But knowing how to pass that knowledge on to each and every member of your staff?

For many of us, owning a coffee shop with the goal of attracting loyal customers who rave about our business, leave us positive reviews, and tell their friends about us bit like walking into a hardware store and thinking, “I have no idea how, but I think it’s possible to build a house with all this stuff.”

Power drills, screws, lumber, and aisles and aisles of who knows what.

Or, in your case, espresso extraction recipes, equipment maintenance, milk steaming, cold brew, teas, lattes, cappuccinos, cortados, and on and on.

Hi there, we’re Bellissimo Coffee Advisors and we’re the creators of Online Barista Training.

We’ve been helping people succeed in the coffee industry for over thirty years, and for the last fifteen have been hosting in-person coffee trainings at our facility in Portland, Oregon.

Our baristas won 7 consecutive national barista championships. Then, at the World Barista Championship they took top honors winning 1st place in 2011, reaching Finals twice and the Semifinals 2 times as well”
