The Cup 'n' Palm Can Help
Barista training is not only one of the hardest things to stay current with your employees, it is also one of the most time consuming. It's like pushing a rather large ball up a rather large hill. If you stop for a moment or if you lose your footing the ball will roll back down the hill and you will have to start all over again from the bottom.

With that in mind, Island Coffee would like to come to your assistance and help you push that rather large ball up the rather large hill.

We have expanded our instruction facility, The Cup 'n' Palm, to accommodate a larger class size and have incorporated more of the latest equipment for effective and accurate training. Here, at our facility, we can work on all aspects of training a professional barista so as to be knowledgeable representative of our trade.

For our coffee customers, the 3 1/2 hour training class is free of charge and is offered the last Friday of each month. Additional classes and times may be added depending on demand. A barista certification is offered for those attending the class and passing both the written and hands-on exams.

Our experience and learning in the business of coffee is ongoing and probably always will be. But with over 80 years of combined coffee experience represented by our staff, we feel confident your coffee training will be effective and worthwhile and your sales will increase with knowledgeable and professionally trained barista's.

Life is good and great barista's makes it better.
