We are proud to be an independent coffee shop and micro-roastery nestled in the heart of Northfield, Birmingham. We roast our coffee on-premise, serving our community with quality beans and a genuine passion for the craft. But for those who want to take their love for coffee seriously and enter the industry as a professional, we are more than just a coffee shop—we are your local gateway to world-class education.

From Beans to Barista: Master the Art of Coffee in Northfield with Midlands’ Only SCA Training

We are currently the only SCA Authorised Trainer (AST) operating in the Midlands. This means you have access to accredited, professional development right here on your doorstep without needing to travel to London or the south coast. While the coffee industry is open to qualified experts, currently Birmingham is home to our dedicated training centre, offering you a unique advantage in your local area.

We firmly believe you cannot learn the craft of coffee from a screen. That is why we strictly offer face-to-face SCA Coffee Skills Program (CSP) training. We don't do video-based modules; we do real, hands-on lessons where you learn by doing. Whether you are looking to join the coffee industry as a beginner or refine your skills as an experienced barista, our small class sizes ensure you get the attention you need.

SCA's Coffee Skills Program

Our curriculum covers the essentials of the SCA CSP, globally recognised as the professional standard for coffee. We offer:

• Barista Skills Foundation: Master espresso extraction, workflow, and milk texturing to deliver a consistent barista menu.

• Brewing Foundation: A deep dive into extraction, turbulence, and recipe development for filter and immersion brewing methods.

• Introduction to Coffee: Explore the journey of coffee from the cherries of Ethiopia to the cup, including professional cupping skills.

What is Specialty Coffee Association ?

The SCA certificate is a recognised professional standard. In a competitive industry, having this qualification sets you apart. It proves you understand not just the "how," but the "why" of coffee. From hygiene and machine maintenance to the chemistry of a perfect cup, our course is built to make you a confident, competent barista.
