Australian Barista Academy

Testimonials

I’d like to express my appreciation on the quality and depth of information provided in your Home Espresso course. If I can convince my friend to come to another course, I’ll most certainly be heading your way.

Thank you again for a sensational course.

We had a lovely evening with Andrew talking and leaning about coffee and it’s chemistry.

Of course, you have ruined us now! Most coffee from a cafe is now average. But I suppose that’s the price you pay for awareness.

Thanks again.

The Q grading course came to a close today with 15 out of 21 people becoming Australia’s newest Q graders! Although there are a disappointed few, there is still an opportunity for these folks to retake their section/s at another grading. More importantly everyone agreed it was a great week of learning and every participant can now speak a common language among the specialty coffee world.

After only three days, Fintan Magee has finished his mural on the Australian Barista Academy wall in Victoria. Although a few rain delays prevented the portafilter idea from eventuating the new artwork has still given the west side wall a whole new look. Check out how the some of the balloons are actually part of a coffee branch!

After (im)patiently refreshing the tracking page for the shipping container every 15 minutes while it was en route, the new Giesen 90kg roaster arrived just after 3.30pm yesterday at Five Senses Coffee in Cheltenham Victoria. There was lots of jumping around with excitement and many high fives were exchanged.
