★★★★★

"Jimmy's training goes far beyond recipes and techniques — he shares real-world tips on what to do (and what mistakes to avoid) during service. Everything's explained clearly and demonstrated hands-on. I walked out confident enough to work behind a coffee bar immediately."

★★★★★

"I had no idea how much I didn't know about milk texture. Jimmy broke it down in a way that finally made it click. My pours at home are completely different now."

Sarah M.
Latte Art 1-on-1
★★★★★

"Worth every cent. I walked in not knowing how to use a portafilter and walked out pulling decent espresso and doing my first heart pour. Jimmy is super patient."

★★★★★

"The Full Programme is intense in the best way. Session 2 especially — the rush simulation is eye-opening. I landed a café job the week after. Couldn't recommend more."

Hi, I'm Jimmy.

Jimmy — barista trainer in Cairns

I've been a barista for over 10 years. I now coach beginner baristas and home coffee lovers — with hands-on practice, immediate feedback, and a learning loop built to build confidence fast.

Most barista training gives you a certificate and knowledge. Your workplace expects performance and experience. I bridge that gap.

No PowerPoints. No passive watching. Just hands-on reps, instant feedback, and real practice that prepares you for the café environment from day one.

Questions? Covered.

Who is this class for?
Anyone who wants real, hands-on practice in an actual café-style environment — not just theory. Whether you're starting from zero, sharpening your pours, or getting job-ready for café work, the training is built around real practice, not passive learning.
Do I need my own equipment?
No — all equipment is provided. Just bring yourself and wear something comfortable. We'll be hands-on the whole session.
What if I'm a complete beginner?
Perfect. We start from where you are. We'll ask about your experience level when you book so we can make the most of our 2.5 hours together.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Yes — please give at least 48 hours notice to reschedule. We'll work with you to find a new time that suits.
What is the Full Barista Programme?
It's a complete 6-hour training in a single day — weekends only. A morning session covers all the fundamentals, then an afternoon session goes deeper into bar workflow, the full café drink menu, mise en place, drink sequencing, and a real rush simulation. By the end, you'll be ready to work at a café bar.
Where is the session held?
Location details are sent in your confirmation after booking. Sessions are held in Cairns — specific location shared once you're booked in.
