Description
Course Overview
Specialty coffee extraction is a craft of micron-level precision and thermal consistency. The Professional Barista Certification moves beyond basic button-pushing into the physics and chemistry behind the cup. Working hands-on with commercial machinery at our Lahore roastery lab, students learn how to profile bean origins, troubleshoot extraction defects in real time, and pour competition-ready microfoam.
