Barista Training for our Wholesale Partners

At 80 Stone Coffee Roasters, barista training is part of how we support the cafés and businesses we work with. Our training sessions are complimentary and available to wholesale coffee customers, helping teams get the very best from our coffees and equipment.

Whether you’re opening a new site or refining your workflow, our hands-on training is designed to be practical, relevant and tailored to your setup.

What the training includes

Sessions can be held at our Croydon roastery and typically cover:

  • Espresso extraction and recipe building

  • Milk texturing and consistency

  • Grinder setup and dial-in

  • Workflow, speed and consistency behind the bar

  • Daily cleaning and basic equipment care

Training is adapted to your team’s experience level and the equipment you’re using.

Why we do it

We believe great coffee doesn’t stop at roasting. Training is how we make sure our coffees are brewed as they’re intended, helping our partners deliver consistent, high-quality drinks every day.

By offering training as part of our wholesale relationship, we can tailor sessions to your menu, equipment and service style.
