Cuvée Coffee Announces Twice Monthly Barista Training Labs
- Hands-on classes for four cater to budding entrepreneurs and home enthusiasts -

March 4, 2008 (HOUSTON, TX)...Cuvée Coffee Roasting Company, at 2810 Louetta Road, Suite 11, in Spring, is launching a new series of professional barista trainings, typically on the first Friday and the third Monday of every month, starting in March. The classes, which run $275 per person, take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., include lunch, and are limited to four people per training. The trainings actively engage participants in the fundamentals of making the perfect espresso.

The classes are open to anyone from new or future owners of independent coffee houses to baristas looking to elevate their skills to those who simply want to learn preparation techniques making great coffee at home. The classes, which run $275 per student, are taught by certified barista competition judges and accomplished competition baristas, who also conduct training labs at the Specialty Coffee Association of America conference.

"Even the world's best coffee, craft roasted by a skilled artisan, can be destroyed in seconds at the hands of an untrained barista," said Mike McKim, president of Cuvée Coffee. “We enjoy sharing barista tips and secrets with those who recognize that a great cup of coffee is truly one of life’s most affordable luxuries.”
