What Our Students Say
As I wrap up my time at the Specialty Barista Training Academy, I'm filled with gratitude for the invaluable skills and experiences gained. With my sights set on Australia and a student visa application in progress, this training couldn't have come at a better time. Armed with newfound expertise in the art of coffee making, I feel confident and excited about the opportunities that lie ahead in my journey abroad.
- Anita Moktan, Basic Course Graduate
I recently completed my training at the Specialty Barista Training Academy in Bhaktapur, and I have to say, it is one of the best and first specialty training academies in the area. The experienced instructors have worked in the industry for several years, providing valuable insights and feedback to students. I also appreciate the opportunities for hands-on practice, which allowed me to apply what I learned in a real-world setting using high-end equipment, including espresso machines, grinders, and brewing equipment. It was great to learn on the same equipment I will be using in my future career."

Best place to learn about being a barista, especially if you wanna learn latte art and coffee taste My trainer was Sukram dai. He was so humble and so much skilled about coffee beans, taste, and latte arts.
