#1 Bang For The Buck Latte Art Course in Sydney
Our programs combine structured excellence, competitive challenges, and joyful learning. We’ve all encountered the “just look at me and try to recreate it” training method in schools. While some learners pick up skills quickly through imitation, others are left behind. Unlike other latte art trainers, we’ve moved beyond subjective methods, adopting an evidence-based approach that truly sets us apart. Over the past 10 years, we’ve developed a program specifically tailored to visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and reading/writing learners, ensuring success for everyone.
How Will You Learn?
Trained with a well-structured program. Embark on a truly unique coffee journey with us. Our training promises to be not only educational but also the most fun you’ll have. We mean it!
Methodology
- We start by delving into the diverse attributes of coffee, unraveling its complexities and nuances.
- From there, we present an array of 4-5 distinct coffee varieties, spanning from affordable $13 per kilo options to luxurious selections priced at $800 per kilo, showcasing the full spectrum of flavors and qualities.
Easy To Use Framework
- Our unique framework, a simplified version of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) protocol, forms the backbone of our analysis. Through this structured approach, you'll learn to discern and appreciate the subtleties of each brew, honing your tasting skills with precision and clarity.
Good Fun
- But it's not all serious business. At the end of each session, we incorporate mini-games designed to reinforce your newfound knowledge in an engaging and enjoyable manner. With our program, learning about coffee is not just educational—it's a delightful experience from start to finish.
