Home Barista Class by Pro Baristas

Give the gift of coffee skills with a session in our certified barista training school, Pro Baristas. We've trained thousands of baristas in the best cafes across the region.

This is a fun, interactive session where you get to drink plenty of coffee and demystify the ways to make your brew taste amazing. This Home Barista Class covers a range of skills, from latte art to home brewing tips and tricks. Get the most out of whatever espresso machine you have at home, or, if you don't have any kit at all, have a go on a variety of machines and filter brewers and we can help you find the home setup that works the best for you!

Xavier Armani (He/Him)

Xavier was a student in the UK’s first barista apprenticeship, run by Pro Baristas. In 2017, following graduation and inspired by the positive impact the Appnticeship had on him, Xavier launched the Pro Baristas Drop-In sessions and became the youngest SCA trainer in the world. 7 years on, Xavier fuses his coffee knowledge and experience with his passion for positive social transformation in his role as Pro Baristas’ Project Leader.

Xavier is always up for listening to people’s stories, can often found brewing siphons, and is generally woefully over-caffeinated.
