About this course
Great coffee starts with the bean and ends with the shot. This classroom begins with coffee fundamentals: where the beans come from, how roasting shapes flavor, and why freshness and proper storage matter more than any machine. You will then learn to pull a proper espresso shot, mastering dose, grind, tamp, and brew time, and diagnosing problems when the shot runs wrong. Finally you will build the classic espresso drinks, the espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte, and flat white, and learn how each one is composed. Whether you are opening a café or stepping behind a bar, this course gives you the foundation to serve coffee people remember.
