Experience what training by the only Two-Time United States Barista Champion, Heather Perry can do for your business through either our One Day or Three Day Trainings !

 The average barista receives an average of three hours of training, and that is simply not enough. We are committed to the continued growth of the specialty coffee industry and believe baristas hold the key to that future. Nobody would argue that quality is the most important ingredient in a successful business, but few people understand that quality can’t shine without proper preparation and planning.

 Heather Perry’s techniques have not only earned medals but her training abilities raised the bar at her successful retail stores.  She enjoys a loyal following of people who drive miles past coffee chain stores for one of her staff’s expertly crafted drinks.  That fact speaks volumes and those techniques can be yours.  Through extensive hands-on lab time you’ll come away with an understanding of the theory behind how great drinks are made and the skills necessary to produce the best shot of espresso you can imagine.  Your customers will notice.

 "Anacafé, with the sponsorship of USAID, had the unique opportunity to bring Heather to train Guatemalan baristas before our National Barista Competition. Her passion, expertise and great devotion for coffee was transmitted to them in a two-day workshop training where each of them received not only personal feedback and attention to every detail but even practical advices to improve their technique.   There is no doubt Heather is made to be a champion and she is a great model for baristas around the world"
