A Gateway into the World of Coffee

At Tyzorn, we believe every great barista starts with a solid foundation. Our Beginner Barista Training program is thoughtfully designed for coffee enthusiasts and aspiring baristas who want to take their first steps into the rich, aromatic world of espresso. Whether you're looking to launch a career in specialty coffee or simply perfect your home brewing technique, this course is the ideal place to start. We focus on building both knowledge and hands-on skills, ensuring students feel confident in their coffee-making abilities.

Our training is conducted in small, interactive groups, creating a supportive environment where questions are encouraged and learning is paced according to each individual. The curriculum combines theoretical understanding with practical application, so participants not only learn how to make coffee, but why each step matters. From bean to cup, we cover everything a beginner needs to start brewing like a pro.

The Essentials of Espresso Extraction

Understanding espresso is at the heart of our beginner course. We teach you how to properly grind coffee, dose it accurately, tamp evenly, and extract espresso with precision. You'll learn how factors such as grind size, water temperature, pressure, and extraction time influence the flavor and body of the final shot. This knowledge empowers students to adjust their technique and equipment to achieve a balanced and flavorful espresso every time.

We also provide guidance on using a professional espresso machine and grinder—essential tools of the trade. You'll become familiar with how to maintain them, calibrate for consistent quality, and troubleshoot common problems. By the end of the module, students are not only pulling shots confidently but understanding what makes each one taste unique.

The Art of Milk Frothing

Milk frothing is a key skill in preparing popular espresso-based drinks like cappuccinos, lattes, and flat whites. In our training, we dive into the science and technique of steaming milk to achieve the perfect texture and temperature. You’ll learn how to create microfoam—a silky, smooth milk texture that blends beautifully with espresso and is the basis for latte art.

We guide students through correct steaming positions, jug control, and recognizing signs of over- or under-steamed milk. Consistency is crucial, and our hands-on practice sessions ensure students can replicate the same result across different drinks and milk types, whether dairy or plant-based. Understanding how to match milk texture with drink style is one of the subtle arts we emphasize throughout.

Basic Latte Art Techniques

One of the highlights of the course is introducing students to the world of latte art. While it may seem like a skill reserved for experienced baristas, our approach makes it accessible to everyone. With patience, practice, and the right instruction, students can begin pouring basic shapes such as hearts, tulips, and rosettas. The thrill of your first successful pour is unforgettable—and we love seeing that moment happen in our classes.

Our instructors demonstrate each design step-by-step, helping students refine their pour technique and timing. We use visual aids and slow-motion examples to break down movements that often happen in just a few seconds. More importantly, we focus on building the muscle memory and hand control needed to master this elegant craft over time.

Building Confidence and Coffee Knowledge

Beyond techniques, we ensure our students leave with a rounded understanding of coffee as a craft. We introduce topics such as coffee origins, roasting profiles, flavor notes, and how to taste and evaluate espresso. This sensory exploration helps students develop a palate and language to describe what they’re brewing, whether in a professional setting or just making a better cup at home.

Confidence is key for any new barista. Our course is structured to build that confidence gradually—starting with the basics and layering in more complexity as students progress. Everyone receives personalized feedback and practical tips tailored to their skill level. By the end of the training, students leave with a certificate of completion, new skills, and the motivation to continue their coffee journey.
