FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of courses do you offer?
The course catalog of the School of Coffee includes two different paths. The first is that of the more professional courses that explain a more technical approach to espresso and filter extractions, milk frothing, and latte art, up to the management of a coffee shop.
As for the offer for enthusiasts and coffee lovers, we have tasting and in-depth meetings, as well as courses to improve home coffee making.
Where do the courses take place?
All courses take place at our location on Via Giosuè Carducci 2r in Florence, inside the Ditta Artigianale café in Piazza Sant' Ambrogio.

In our philosophy, we do not foresee distance learning, because we believe that the world of coffee-making is not just about mechanical movements to learn, but above all about sensations to seek in the cup.
