The One-to-One Course is the training we always run, taught for a single student. The content is chosen from the courses we already teach — barista, latte art, brewing, sensory analysis, roasting, green coffee and the supply chain — and can be mixed: a whole path, or only the parts you actually need.
We agree on the programme before we start, with a call where you tell us where you are now and what you need to be able to do by the end. During the day we change pace and topic depending on how you are getting on: that is the advantage of being two people, you and the trainer.
It takes place in our training room in Verona, with the same machines and the same coffee as the scheduled courses. It lasts one day and, when the programme is a wide one, we add further days.
Upcoming dates
Why choose it
- 1You choose the programme — we start from the catalogue of our courses and keep only what you need, even combining topics from different paths.
- 2We go at your pace — whatever is already clear gets skipped, whatever does not work gets repeated until it does: you wait for no one and no one waits for you.
- 3We work on your needs and your problems — we start from what you really need: a recipe that does not add up, a movement that will not come right, a profile to fix, a question you have been carrying around for months. If you have a coffee of your own, bring it.
- 4The trainer's time is all yours — no taking turns at the machine: the practice hours are all yours, with feedback right away, one movement at a time.
- 5We pick the date together — you do not have to wait for a scheduled course to start: we set the day when it suits you.
Who it's for
For anyone with a clear goal and little time: baristas who need to be ready for an opening or a competition, owners who want to train themselves before training their staff, roasters who need to fix a profile, enthusiasts who would rather learn with no one else around, professionals who want a path built around their own needs and the privacy of a day behind closed doors. No prior requirements: we work out your starting point together.

FAQ
Can I choose content from different courses?
Yes. Topics from different paths can be combined in the same day, for example a morning on espresso and an afternoon of latte art.
Does it come with SCA certification?
No. SCA certification is earned through the SCA courses and their exam; the One-to-One Course is tailored training and comes with a certificate of attendance. If you need the certification, we will point you to the right course.
How long does it last and how much does it cost?
One day of 7 hours, 800€ per day excluding VAT. If the programme needs more time, further days are added at the same daily rate. An invoice can be issued for companies.
How is the date arranged?
Case by case: write to us with the period you prefer and we will suggest the days the trainer is free.
Where is it held?
In our training room in Verona, at Via Basso Acquar 30/C.
How is the course delivered in English?
This course is one-to-one by design, so in English it works exactly the same way: same day, same content, with the programme and the date agreed with you beforehand.
