Welcome to our Training Centre
At Prufrock Training & Consulting our goal is to ensure that all of our students have a great learning experience when attending a course or workshop with us, taking away new knowledge and improved coffee skills, feeling confident in their abilities.
Our courses are taught using top-level professional equipment, by a barista trainer with more than ten years experience in the coffee industry. Prufrock Coffee has been on the forefront of Speciality Coffee since we opened one of the first speciality coffeebars in London in 2011, and we're always working to improve the coffee we serve and how we serve it.
Since 2017 we're part of Square Mile Roastery, bringing in-depth coffee knowledge and the opportunity to work with people passionate about sourcing and roasting great quality coffee, while collaborating with coffee farmers around the world in a sustainable way.
SCA Barista Skills Intermediate
A two-day course introducing extraction theory, professional tasting and brew recipes. You will also improve your workflow and milk steaming with a dedicated latte art component.
We look closely at taste and flavour, and how we can manipulate these using brew recipes. With the use of a digital refractometer, you will see how different brew recipes can optimise a coffee – a huge competitive advantage to any cafe or Barista.
If you have ambitions to work as a Speciality Barista, this course is your benchmark and will greatly accelerate your learning curve and skill set.
Introduction to Latte Art
Learn how to produce perfectly smooth, glossy microfoam for your coffee, then improve your pouring with plenty of hands-on practice and coaching.
In our newly relaunched Latte Art course we will break down the techniques of free pouring, and look at how the 3 key free pour patterns are made – Heart, Tulip and Rosetta.
This fun, hands-on course runs for 2.5 hours and is a great compliment to our Home Barista or SCA Barista Skills Foundation courses.
