Novice to Expert: Silipo Coffee's Guide to Mastering the Art of Espresso

So you want to be a Barista? But you're not sure where to start? Well, you're not alone. I too was once in your shoes, feeling daunted by the prospect of mastering the art of preparing espresso for a bustling venue I was supervising. Back in 1994, the world of espresso was a mystery to me, and the training I received from a senior waitress left much to be desired. To put it bluntly, I was terrible.

Fast forward 30 years, and my journey in the coffee industry has been nothing short of transformative. From managing multiple venues to owning and operating cafes and restaurants, training competitors for Barista competitions, and judging numerous coffee contests, I have amassed a wealth of experience and knowledge that I am eager to share with aspiring Baristas like yourself.

My passion for coffee and dedication to honing my craft have led me to a point where I not only offer my expertise as a paid trainer but also as a mentor to those who are just starting out in the world of coffee. Whether you are a complete novice or looking to refine your skills, I am here to guide you on your journey to becoming a confident and skilled Barista.
