For every bar, restaurant, catering, or sports venue
A workshop for a professional is different from training for a home barista.
Coffee calibration & Latte Art
During this training, the participant learns the basic principles of properly calibrating any type of coffee, and practices it under personal guidance using your espresso/coffee equipment.
We also cover and practice how and why milk is frothed, the correct temperature for frothing, and how to create a good heart shape in different types of coffee.
The combination of good coffee and the right texture and temperature of milk leads to an immediately noticeable improvement in the quality of your product.

Bar Handling & Hygiene
In many coffee and hospitality establishments, coffee is handled inefficiently and unhygienically. Especially when it gets busy, it becomes a specific skill to make good decisions and keep everything clean.
We cover decision-making, task distribution, and sequencing.
We also focus on the maintenance and cleaning of the machines, which is often a good topic to conclude the workshop with.
By working efficiently, customers are served faster, and by maintaining cleanliness, your product remains appealing.

Coffee Knowledge
As consumers evolve and acquire more basic knowledge about coffee, it is increasingly important for the maker to be able to engage in meaningful conversations. Additionally, knowledge always helps with execution and confidence.
Depending on the product and typical customers, we can delve as deep as desired, both into the coffee itself and the rest of the production chain.
At a minimum, we ensure that a participant can engage with a customer and explain where your product comes from, how it is made and why, and what taste the customer can expect.

Coffee Consultation
Some businesses can achieve more with a small change than with a big investment. Sometimes there is a lack of training and knowledge among staff, and sometimes the product does not quite fit the target audience.
Perhaps your company is ready for a new look and feel, or you are about to start a new business and want to entrust the coffee aspect to an expert.
With our broad experience in the industry, we can provide tailored advice to any business, from a simple conversation to an investment plan.

OUR JOURNEY
WELCOME AT MICK & LEON
The art of professional coffee making is a craft. This means that baristas acquire a lot of knowledge from other experienced baristas, and there is little knowledge documented. Because the craft is relatively new, it also means that there is still much to discover. Each barista has taken their own journey through the industry.
Mick & Leon have been involved in the coffee business for years and, in addition to Barista-Workshop, they also have a two coffee shops in Haarlem. With a combined 14 years of experience in coffee and hospitality, we can teach you everything you want to know about the coffee industry.
