Being a barista is about giving the customer the best coffee experience. Therefore, the staff will be trained in the technical skills, but also in sales techniques, so your employees become black belts baristas, behind the counter. Find out more about the course in the videos with David.

Focus on the customer's needs

In a coffee production, there are so many joints that need to fit together. If only one link goes wrong, then the quality drops. With this course, staff are trained to know the essential functions and techniques of coffee production so that they can ensure that quality does not decline, and if they do, then they need to know exactly which link failed in production.

Although it is easy to make a filter coffee, this will also be a module in the course, as there is a big difference between the machine you brew the coffee on and how you handle the coffee when it is to be delivered to the customer.

An SCAE roasting certification og 11 years of experience

Introduction of Teacher David Sarinelli

I love coffee and everything around it. The product, the people working in the industry, the energy and passion that almost every Single person working in the coffee industry expresses. My passion for coffee started back in 2007, where one of my buddies bought an espresso machine for home use. It took just one session of playing around with grinder settings and tasting extractions, for me to get totally hooked on the craft of controlling multiple variables, organic and technical, and turning them into a tasty, intense beverage.

In 2011 I got my SCAE roasting certification and for the next 6 years, I roasted coffee and fixed machines, while also judging at the national barista championships, training baristas for competitions, and attending and helping at several Barista Camps, domestic and abroad.

I have roasted coffee for baristas, who ended up winning their national championships – and aided in developing roast profiles for a barista, who ended up becoming no. 6 in the world.

So far my favorite coffee experience was in 2017, where I got to visit a coffee farm in Tanzania. It was an amazing experience, to participate in every part of the process.

Then, in 2019 I started working with illy and completed their coffee certification course.

Today, I teach baristas, install and fix equipment, still learning and finding great joy and pleasure in helping people improve their coffee knowledge and skills, while still having all the technical challenges from time to time. I still roast at home for friends and family, who have followed my roasting journey From the start. This keeps me on my toes so that nobody takes my certification away.
