Where we teach
Taught from a working espresso bar
No studio, no actors, just the machine we pull shots on every day at 112 Smith St.
Crema Barista School runs out of a real espresso bar on Smith St, Collingwood, on the same two-group machine we use to teach every lesson. We film each pour and pattern as it happens behind the counter, then check it against a scale and a timer before it goes online.
