At Bean Culture, coffee is our passion.
It’s no secret that Australia has a long-standing love affair with coffee. No longer is coffee simply a drink, it’s a culture, a passion, something akin to divinity. We value the humble coffee bean and its hallowed grounds.
At Bean Culture, we think of our roastery as a place of home and our baristas as our family.
We are passionate about all things coffee and we want to share this love of coffee with as many people as possible. The art of coffee is not something that can be picked up overnight. It takes dedication, knowledge, and practice, but with enough focus and the right guidance, you too can master the art of the perfect brew.

What is covered in the espresso extraction training?
Unlike other local training organisations, we don’t pre-adjust the coffee grinder before you arrive – we will do this with you and teach you how to adjust the grinder so 21g of coffee pours in 25sec, we will explain the importance of consistently weighed shots of coffee, what happens when you over / under pack the basket and also change the room environment to mimic the effects of temperature and humidity. These changes will affect your espresso extraction and we will teach you how to recognise the change and fix it. This is a major part of being a barista because beyond the eye catching latte art, you need to be able to produce a coffee that tastes great!
Latte Art Component
We will cover milk texturing and stretching and show you various techniques to achieve this, we will then begin training on pouring a heart, then a tulip.
