Barista classes for schools and groups
A hands-on morning on commercial machines — everyone with their own steam wand, nobody standing and watching. Discounted pricing for schools and groups, in four cities.
Who we run these for
High schools
Hospitality and VET classes, school trips, end-of-year rewards and clubs. Discounted student pricing on every high-school booking.
Universities & TAFE
Student associations, orientation weeks and hospitality faculties — a practical class that fills a morning and sends everyone home able to make a flat white.
Community & youth groups
Employment programs, youth services and community centres. A real, employable skill in a single session.
Workplaces & teams
Team days that aren't trust falls. Everyone gets their own machine and leaves having made something.
