Commercial Coffee Training

Making a great cup of coffee is a combination of three main factors: The quality of the coffee beans, the equipment used, and the coffee maker themselves. Genovese Coffee prides itself on its tradition of roasting and blending the highest quality Italian style espresso coffee. We are also the Australian agent for the industry proven Wega espresso machines and a key importer in Australia of Mazzer grinders. Consequently, we can provide you with the best equipment available which is an integral part of making great coffee. The final ingredient is the Coffee Maker, the person responsible for combining the coffee bean and the espresso equipment with their skills and passion to prepare and serve beautiful coffee.  That is where training comes in. 

At the Genovese Coffee Training facility we teach you all the skills you need to make great coffee.  Using both theory and hands on practice we take you through all aspects of coffee preparation.  The training focuses on analysing and adjusting the coffee grind to achieve perfect espresso extraction, how to correctly texture and pour milk, and how to operate and maintain the espresso machines. The training room is equipped with state of the art commercial equipment and our trainers have years of industry experience and knowledge to share with you.

If you are currently a customer of Genovese Coffee, or if you become a customer, you are entitled to free introductory training and ongoing support for you and your café staff.  Or if you are interested in taking your coffee making skills to the next level and taking steps on your way to becoming a “Barista”, there is a more advanced course which is a nationally recognised unit of the Certificate III in Hospitality, which has a small fee involved and is also open to the public.

Domestic Coffee Training

For the coffee aficionado who would like to be able to make a café style coffee at home, domestic training is similar to the industry course but focuses on domestic equipment and practices. Courses run for 3 hours and include a small tour of the coffee roasting plant. These courses make great gifts and we welcome group bookings and corporate groups. Private Sessions can also be arranged. Gift vouchers are also available.

The Domestic courses are usually on a Saturday morning, and bookings are essential.
