Group Barista Basic Training – knowledge, taste, practice
This won't be a training where you just nod along. It will be the moment coffee stops being just "black and strong" and becomes something you actually understand.
In a small group (max. 6 people) we'll take you through the world of aromas, bean origins, and practical brewing guidance. You don't need to be a professional. You don't even need to know how to steam milk. But if you love coffee and want to make it with intention – this training is for you.
What's included in the training?
- Learn where coffee comes from, how it grows, and what sets different varieties apart
- Understand the difference between a blend and a single origin
- Discover what specialty coffee really means – and how flavors are shaped at the farm level
- Walk through every stage of coffee processing – from natural to washed
- Learn to read a specialty bag like a barista: sensory profile, variety, growing altitude
- Find out how to store coffee properly so it holds its aroma
- Compare SCA and INEA espresso standards
- Run a sensory analysis of espresso across different extraction levels
- Learn to dial in your grinder properly – not just by feel
- Get the fundamentals of milk steaming and latte art
- Explore the differences between classic milk-based drinks
- Learn how to maintain your equipment so it performs consistently.
Language note: this group training is conducted in Polish. For an English-language session, please book the individual training or contact us directly.

A few words from Michał, JAVA University Trainer
“I’ve been working with coffee for 9 years. I enjoy breaking conventions and encouraging experimentation — inspiring others and showing different possibilities.
During trainings, what matters most to me is effectiveness, created by sharing knowledge in an accessible way and in the most relaxed atmosphere possible — because we learn best when we’re having fun.”
