Barista course in Barcelona
Learn at the school where we train our own team, to the standard of Xavi Iglesias, a world barista judge. Real practice, small groups.
Our Barcelona school is where the Degusto Arte baristas train — the same ones who serve at Mobile World Congress and for brands like Google and Amazon. We open that same training to individuals, professionals and companies.
The courses are 100% hands-on, with real professional equipment: an espresso machine, grinders and the Core Coffee that is roasted artisanally in the city. From espresso fundamentals to the latte art workshop, always in small groups so you practise cup by cup.
The standard is the one Xavi applies as a judge: extraction, milk texture and consistency. You leave with the school certificate and criteria you can apply from day one, at home or behind a bar.
