About this product

Our North Star Barista Course will always begin with a guided cupping of our range, allowing you to easily experience the impact that origin, terroir and post harvest processing methods have on a coffee's flavour profile. Utilising this knowledge will help you in your first steps towards understanding espresso theory and exploring suitable brew recipes, with the ultimate aim of producing a better balance of flavours at home. Finally, you will delve into the artistic process of steaming milk and achieve the desired textures, necessary for creating silky milk-based drinks and latte art.

There will be plenty of time allocated for hands-on brewing using a range of both domestic and professional level equipment, including the Sage Barista Express Impress, a La Marzocco Linea PB, and our go-to Mahlkönig and Fiorenzato grinders. The reason for this is that we want to help close the gap between professional baristas and coffee enthusiasts and prove that once and for all, you can brew as good as we do!

This will be an amazing opportunity to make use of your time with John, our dedicated trainer, who is responsible for teaching our wonderful wholesale customers, including many of the best specialty coffee shops and restaurants in Yorkshire. Each attendee will receive tailored feedback and guidance regarding their practical skills - not to mention, you will also be given access to a host of resources and receive a 250g bag of coffee following the course, enabling you to put your new skills to the test right away!

When you book your place, you won’t need to do anything else; we will be in touch the week before your course is scheduled and confirm all the necessary details. The course will take place at our newest training facility, the North Star Coffee Hub, situated next door to our Coffee Shop & General Store on Leeds Dock (LS10 1PZ). Top tip: give yourself one less thing to worry about, book a table and treat yourself afterwards - nothing a brew won’t sort.

4 participants maximum.

Please contact john@northstarroast.com if you would like to make a booking for a larger group, or if you have any accessibility requirements.

Great Course and Trainer

I received a place on this course for Christmas and it proved to be a great present. John provided useful background information on the production of coffee and excellent instruction on how to create great coffee from bean to cup. We were also very hands-on with plenty of opportunities for us to savour different coffees and improve our coffee making skills.

Highly recommended course

I was so pleased to be one of the Home Barista course takers. It was such a great immersion in just a portion of the amazing world of coffee. John was an excellent trainer who conveyed very useful information covering coffee sourcing, and processing, and we had hands-on setting a proper cupping table, and espresso brewing,, although time was a bit tight, we managed to get through steaming milk. I now feel more confident to take this more seriously and value the importance of coffee beans from unique terroirs and processes. Thank you!
