In the Advanced Class you will learn more about coffee, espresso, the grinder and milk texturing and you will be well on your way to the National Accreditation – Prepare and Serve Espresso Coffee.

Making a great Coffee @ Home is a skill and much of the quality depends as much on your understanding of the coffee bean as on than your understanding of the equipment you are using to brew coffee. This is a great class for anyone who loves coffee and a perfect gift for that hard to please person!
