All of our Portland Roasting customers are invited to take part in a free barista training. As long as you are a Portland Roasting customer, you and all your employees, old and new, will receive training. We offer on-site training here at the roasting plant, with weekly classes such as 'Basic Barista Training', 'Getting to know your Grinder', and 'Latte Art', to name a few. And if you can’t get to us, we can come to your location and perform onsite training as well. We will make sure that you, as our customer, will be making quality espresso drinks and coffee every time.

To schedule a training session, please contact Shea Hagan, our barista specialist, at 503.236.7378, extension 302 or via email.

Basic Barista Training is great class for people new to making coffee, or for those who need a refresher to brush up their skills. Every Wednesday is an open training day - email Shea to register.

Every Wednesday 1:30-3:30 Basic Barista Training.

Latte Art will help refine your coffee-making abilities while teaching you presentation skills. This class will return after the first of the year.

Coming in Summer 2008: A coffee cupping and roasting class!

To reserve a space in any of these classes, please contact Shea at the email or phone above.
