Content

SCA Barista Skills Intermediate Take your quality and efficiency to the next level. During this 2-day course, you’ll learn to calibrate grinders daily and serve consistent, high-quality espresso and latte art, even during peak hours.

Day 1: Theory & Fundamentals. Learn about coffee varieties, origins, and processing methods. In the afternoon, we dive into brew ratios and grinder calibration. You’ll practice making different drinks (flat whites, cortados) efficiently and master two latte art patterns.

Day 2: Practical Excellence. Focus on sensory skills and troubleshooting while calibrating. The day concludes with the SCA Practical Exam.

Prerequisites: This course is for experienced baristas. You should already understand equipment parts, drink names, hygiene standards, and the basic theory of grinder calibration and extraction parameters.
