INITIATION

Basic coffee shop training: Getting into espresso and other skills.
At Nomad Coffee, we understand that the heart of barista skills lies in the skill of making the perfect espresso. This technique is the essence of successful coffee beverage training and the pillar upon which all other beverages in a specialty coffee shop are built.

Learning how to prepare the perfect espresso
Our courses focus first on espresso preparation, from grinding the bean with the proper grind to achieving a balanced extraction. As you progress, you dive into the essential parameters such as temperature, pressure and extraction time, all of which are crucial to obtaining that ideal cup that fascinates coffee aficionados.

Knowing the language and tools of the barista
In our training for coffee shop workers, we focus much of our teaching on the unique language of the coffee world. Understanding the specific vocabulary is crucial to being able to fully immerse yourself in the coffee culture and communicate with other professionals and enthusiasts in the field.

During our introductory courses, we provide the foundation for anyone to provide quality coffee service, something that is valued today not only in specialty coffee shops, but in any hospitality environment. Our training includes:

Explanation about specialty coffee.

- The importance of green coffee and its conservation
- Understanding the basic variables for good espresso preparation.
- Development of skills to improve latte art technique
- Practical strategies for coffee shop menu design, putting innovation and adaptability into practice.

We understand that the basic and advanced knowledge taught in our courses is essential, and we take pride in preparing baristas who can excel in the art and science of the modern coffee shop. Because a great barista is not born, he or she is made with training, dedication and passion for coffee.

Barista Course: From the Bean to the Cup
To explore the world of coffee is to embrace a journey that begins long before the first tasting. We dive into the essence of our training program, designed to reveal every secret from the origin of the bean to the perfection of serving it. Cultivating barista skills is our passion, and with our barista courses, you'll become the storyteller behind every cup served.

Ergonomics and Barista Workflow
Ergonomics and effective workflow are essential to providing exceptional service. In our barista courses, we not only prepare you in technical skills, but in creating an optimal workstation that strengthens efficiency and service quality. Committed to excellence, we ensure that every movement and every choice at the coffee bar is part of a well-choreographed dance, ready to delight the recipient of the cup.
