Coffee Training & Education
At the heart of every successful restaurant and coffee program is a foundation of training. We take our role in this very seriously, and love sharing our knowledge and expertise with our customers, to help them serve better coffee.
Barista Basics - Fundamentals of Espresso
Join us once a month in our Plymouth, MA training lab for an introductory barista workshop designed for both home coffee enthusiasts and aspiring café professionals. Participants will train on state-of-the-art commercial equipment while learning the essential skills every barista needs.
This hands-on class covers proper espresso dosing and extraction, dialing in grinders, milk texturing techniques, and the fundamentals of crafting classic espresso beverages. You’ll also gain an understanding of industry-standard cleaning and maintenance practices. Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to build confidence behind the bar.
LATTE ART 101
Participants will learn proper milk texturing with both dairy and non-dairy milk, different pouring techniques, and develop a deeper understanding of how to pour two distinct designs in lattes: the heart and tulip. This hands-on learning experience, taught on state-of-the-art commercial equipment, will be beneficial for both at-home and seasoned baristas alike.
Please note, Latte Art 101 is designed for baristas who already know how to pull shots and create microfoam. If you are new to espresso and steaming milk, please checkout out our Barista Basics class.
Coffee Brewing Skills
Join Speedwell Coffee and learn to brew great coffee like a pro using multiple brew methods. We will teach you to brew by weight with scales, and understand brew ratios, so you can brew the perfect cup every time!
We will introduce and discuss a variety of brew methods: including Aeropress, Chemex, pour-over dripper, and more! Space is limited to just four participants, so each person will have a chance to practice each brewing technique extensively. We will discuss different tools you’ll need to elevate your daily coffee brewing routine, recipes and ratios, how grind impacts extraction and flavor, and the impact of water quality and temperature.
The workshop is perfect for any home coffee enthusiast or aspiring coffee professional.
