Barista Advanced Course

The Barista Advanced course is perfect for those that are already pretty competent with an espresso machine, and are ready to boost their skills to the next level. The course will help you build on your foundations and reach a level of quality on par with the world of specialty coffee shops.

To promote best practice the course will include a short recap on the basics of coffee theory and espresso extraction. After a little bit of theory we’ll dive right into it.  We’ll tackle getting the perfect milk texture for the different popular coffees you’d find in speciality coffee shops, including special non-espresso based lattes. We’ll use those razor-sharp milk texturing skills to set out on our journey into advanced latte art. By the end of the session we hope you’ll be well on your way to mastering a few patterns and shapes.

Our course begins at 10am, and lasts upto two hours. We kindly ask you to arrive 10 minutes before the workshop begins to get settled in. Our Espresso workshops are conducted in small groups and held in our Sneinton Market Old Roastery, in Nottingham city centre.

As part of the course, you’ll receive a complimentary 250g bag of Stewarts' coffee Sunset Espresso blend!

Our programme of workshops run over a four-week cycle, with limited spaces per session book now to avoid disappointment.

Prior knowledge and experience is required for this course. Don't have any? Why not look at our Barista Foundations course!

The coffee is off beautiful quality, all full, whole beans, brilliantly roasted. They taste great as espresso, sublime as flat white or iced latte. Lovely.

After being recommend to try Stewarts coffee roast, I bought the Raisin, Chocolate, Peanut espresso beans. I had regular updates from them while my beans were being roasted, packed and dispatched, with tracking available and the whole ordering process was so easy (just like it should be). On to the beans... Lightly roasted (light brown), not dark and shiny like a lot of dark-roasted beans I've tried before... and the smell when I opened the bag was incredible! Definitely the best-smelling coffee I've had. Taste-wise, I tried my usual 2-shot Americano and was very pleased with the smooth, robust taste. You can actually taste the notes described... but I wasn't "blown away" (although it was definitely up there with the best). Then I tried a quad-espresso. Espresso is what these beans are roasted for. A literal taste explosion, not bitter at all, but a delicious, nutty flavour with an overtone of peanut and chocolate and a back note of raisins. A beautiful hit of coffee on the palate. You've got yourself a subscriber.
