Our Story
The Espresso Coffee School was founded by Margaret Anderson in 2003. Margaret was passionate about traditional Italian espresso techniques and wanted to be able to contribute this knowledge back into the New Zealand coffee industry. Understanding that most cafe owners did not have the time or resources to train their staff appropriately, she designed our Professional Barista Course on the basis of ensuring students would leave feeling informed and confident in their new skills.
Now – 14 years on from the birth of the Espresso Coffee School, it is run by Rosh Java who has been working with coffee for over 10 years and is passionate about improving the quality of coffee in the local industry. She has dedicated herself to regularly updating the course content to cater to current, fast changing industry trends, making each student focus on practical, work-ready skill sets.
The Espresso Coffee School now proudly owns and runs two Inner City Auckland cafes, where our tutors actively work in the industry and stay up to date with current trends.

Our Values
Learning how to make great coffee takes a lot more than learning from great baristas. It takes great teachers that are patient and able to communicate in ways that students can easily grasp, in an environment that is relaxed and designed to simulate a real life cafe set up.
This is where the Espresso Coffee School shines above all other barista schools! We constantly focus on improving our training structure, teaching style, communication style, and our training environment. We believe this directly translates to our students being better prepared for the real world.
