Every barista should have a specific set of skills if they want to succeed, whether they're working in a café or are home baristas looking to elevate their coffee making abilities.
Our barista course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and techniques needed to master the art of coffee!
We've designed a class tailored to your needs. Our classes accommodate up to four people and feature two brand new espresso machines, grinders and distributors, ensuring you have plenty of practice.
During the class, you will have access to unlimited materials. We provide coffee beans, as well as full cream, soy, almond, and oat milk, ensuring you feel comfortable in a café setting or when making coffee at home with your favourite alternative milk.
In addition, you will have access to our experienced trainer, Carlos. With over eight years of barista experience in various café settings, Carlos has developed a passion for Melbourne’s coffee culture and has participated in several barista competitions.
His dedication to coffee is matched by his commitment to continuous learning, as he has earned multiple SCA certifications, globally recognised as some of the best coffee education available.
Course overview:
You'll first start with 30 minutes of theory to gain a deep understanding of the art of making coffee. This is followed by a 15-minute demonstration where you'll experience different coffee styles and build your confidence. Then, enjoy 3 hours of hands-on practice with unlimited materials and our small class sizes ensure you receive constant support. We’ll conclude with a 15-minute clean-up session.
The bonus part of this barista class is you'll also meet Carlos' dog, Nala! As a proud pawrent, she comes everywhere with him. She loves to be part of the fun, so don't be surprised if she greets you with a wagging tail!

Realising a Dream: The Story Behind I Am Barista Coffee School
Welcome to I Am Barista Coffee School! Located in Melbourne CBD, this school fulfills one of my lifelong dreams. I’m Carlos, the founder and head trainer. My coffee journey began with eight years as a barista, crafting countless cups. This experience delighted customers and honed my craft.
Passionate about coffee, I dedicated five more years to training aspiring baristas. I shared my extensive knowledge and deepened my understanding of coffee. Consequently, I envisioned a coffee school where others could experience and appreciate coffee culture.
My vision came to life with I Am Barista Coffee School. As owner and lead trainer, I bring vast experience to the program. My expertise covers everything from perfecting espresso shots with our Barista Course to mastering latte art. I remain deeply connected to Melbourne’s dynamic coffee scene.
At I Am Barista Coffee School, we’ve distilled my years of experience into a carefully crafted program. Our curriculum reflects my passion and admiration for Melbourne’s coffee culture. In Melbourne, coffee is more than a drink; it’s a way of life.
