Kalab Coffee School

Train with a champion

Hands-on barista training in Addis Ababa — taught by a licensed Q Grader and 2020 AFCA barista champion, on the machines you'll actually work with.

Why train here

A real bar, not a lecture hall

Every session runs on commercial espresso machines, grinders, and a sample roaster — the same setup you'll meet behind a real bar. You leave with steady hands, not just notes.

Milk & latte art

Texture milk properly, then pour hearts, tulips, and rosettas with intention.

Roasting basics

Follow a bean from green to first crack on our sample roaster, and taste what changes.
