At Colombo Bartender & Barista School (CBBS), we take pride in guiding aspiring baristas through this journey, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the dynamic world of coffee.

Step 1: Discovering Your Passion

 Every journey begins with a spark of passion. For many baristas, this passion is ignited by a love for coffee and a desire to learn more about its rich history, diverse flavors, and intricate brewing techniques. At CBBS, we encourage our students to explore their passion and understand the essence of what it means to be a barista. Through engaging workshops and hands-on experiences, students delve into the fascinating world of coffee and begin to cultivate their own unique coffee journey.

They also gain hands-on experience with professional-grade equipment, ensuring they are well-prepared to work in any coffee shop or café.

Step 3: Developing Your Skills

Our experienced instructors provide personalized guidance and feedback, helping students to hone their techniques and achieve excellence in every cup they prepare. At CBBS, we believe that practice and persistence are key to becoming a skilled barista.
