What our attendees have to say
The knowledge that we gained at Bellissimo inspired us to aim for the highest levels of coffee excellence, so we decided to train our staff to compete at barista championships. Our baristas won 7 consecutive national barista championships (from 2008 to 2014). Then, at the World Barista Championship they took top honors winning 1st place in 2011, reaching Finals twice (2013 and 2014) and the Semifinals 2 times as well (2010 and 2012).
Viva Espresso
Rock Creek Coffee Roasters opened its doors in August 2004 and we owe much of our success to Bellissimo’s knowledge and professionalism. We attended their Barista training course just 4 weeks prior to opening our doors. This was a great help in developing consistent, quality drinks from day one.
Rock Creek Coffee Roasters
Bellissimo helped us gain a better understand of specialty coffee. We already had the passion and drive to do our best, but Bellissimo helped give us the basic tools, knowledge and understanding of how to put it all together. Without Bellissimo, we wouldn’t have had the skill-set to be ready for all that happens when the doors are open. Every day is learning for us, and that is a good thing.
Handlebar Coffee Roasters
I wanted to learn about the coffee business and have some hands-on experience to help me determine if I’d like to have a coffee business. I had sooooo much fun this week. The people who work here are all friendly, knowledgeable, inspired, and encouraging!
I had a really great time last week and learned SO MUCH in such a short amount of time. I definitely feel more confident and prepared to take on my own coffee shop in the near future thanks to you guys!
What you’ll walk away with
How to taste coffee and serve quality drinks
We put a special focus on making sure you’re not just going through the motions. By helping you understand how to taste coffee, you’ll have the tools to continue improving your coffee brewing long after you leave us.
How to use and maintain an espresso machine
One of the largest investments you’ll have to make when opening a coffee shop is your espresso machine, so you better know what you’re doing. Our trainers also have technician experience so you don’t just learn how to use an espresso machine, but also how to keep your investment working for many long years.
How to steam milk and create beautiful lattes
Of course, espresso is only half the battle. We’ll also walk you through the finicky process of learning to steam and pour milk. You’ll even practice latte art.
All your coffee questions answered personally by our expert team
Above all else, we’re here to give you one-on-one attention and make you confident about opening a coffee business.
