The Switch Espresso training room is a modern, comfortable space where you can learn the latest and greatest techniques for fixing a killer coffee. The most important part of our training programme isn’t the room, though – it’s our talented trainer Libby. She’s our in-house barista trainer, and she can have anyone whipping up top-notch espresso in no time.

Libby, with the help of our shiny new training room, is in charge of training the baristas at all the cafés that stock Switch Espresso. That’s why you can be sure if you see the Switch Espresso logo outside your local café, you’re in for a good coffee.

We’re looking forward to spreading the art of coffee making far and wide, we offer training which we tailor to the person's experience and needs. Whether you’re an aspiring barista looking to up your skills, or a home coffee lover wanting to get the most out of your benchtop espresso machine, you’ll be able to join in and make the most of the team's expertise

We’re also using the training room as our tasting room for cupping and quality control. Every week, we taste test our blends to make sure the flavour is consistent, and discuss if anything needs to be tweaked in our quest to achieve coffee perfection. This can involve cupping (tasting steeped and cooled coffee and water) as well as making espresso shots and milky coffee to test out our coffees in every scenario they might be used.

If you or your team are interested in training in our brand new facility, give Libby a bell at the roastery and tee something up. You can reach us on 03 338 3530.
