EA Barista Class: Understanding the Work behind Each Cup

The EA Barista class combined coffee fundamentals with practical work at the espresso machine. Learners explored equipment, grinder use, espresso preparation and the steps behind familiar café drinks.

Dose, yield and extraction provided a starting point for observing a shot. Tasting the espresso helped connect those settings with flavour, while milk steaming and milk beverage preparation added another part of the barista’s daily work.

Equipment care and workflow were included alongside drink preparation. Understanding why each step matters helps learners adjust, solve problems and develop confidence when working behind the bar.
