At our school we train the baristas on our own team — the same people who serve at MWC and for Google and Amazon. We open that same training to companies and individuals.
For companies, coffee makes a team building that actually works: a guided tasting or a latte art workshop gets the whole team learning something hands-on, in a relaxed format unlike any other office activity.
For individuals and professionals, practical courses from the fundamentals to latte art, always on real professional equipment and in small groups. The standard is the one Xavi applies as a judge: extraction, milk texture, consistency.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need previous experience?
No. Fundamentals courses start from zero, and in team buildings everyone takes part at their own level. For latte art we recommend doing the fundamentals first.
Where do the courses take place?
At our Barcelona space or, for companies, in your own offices if the space allows. We bring the equipment.
How many people can join a team building?
We work with small groups so everyone gets hands-on time. For large teams we run several rounds in the same day.
What does the tasting team building include?
A guided tasting of Core Coffee origins, team dynamics, all materials and the coffee. Around 1.5 to 2 hours, adaptable to your schedule.
Who runs the training?
The Degusto Arte school team, trained and led by Xavi Iglesias, world barista judge.
