Welcome to the world of specialty coffee!

Whether you’re struggling to dial in that new Breville machine or you’re just dipping your toes into a new hobby, Barista Friend’s public coffee classes will leave you feeling confident, inspired, and ready to serve up cafe-quality cappuccinos at home!

All of my coffee classes feature the best locally roasted beans available in Austin. Some of my favorites include Figure 8, Proud Mary, Superthing, Desnudo, and Sightseer, but I’m always switching it up and looking for the next best thing!
