Schools, Classes and Learning Tools

In a search for tools to make a better Espresso, I was happy to find that there are many options to help master the art. Yes, there are classes given at a campus, classes given at your location, DVD classes and even a few iPhone app options. Very exciting!

On this page, I will list some options I come across. While I will take a look at them via their site, literature and even give them a call… I’m unable to go to each of them so I can’t guarantee the quality of their learning materials. If you offer services, please contact me with your information via my contact page and I will review as soon as I can.
