Life's too short to drink bad coffee
Barista School Perth was born out of a vision to combine our love for delicious coffee with our mission to share our knowledge with as many people as possible.
For many, all around the world, drinking coffee has become a daily ritual. It connects us with our fellow coffee lovers and creates a sense of community that feels like home.
Jessie’s Café & Roasting Co is our sister café and home to our coffee community. We have been sharing our delicious coffee to our wonderful customers since September 2012.
Jessie is the devoted owner and inspiration behind Jessies Café & Roasting Co and Barista School Perth. She shares an amazing energy and love for her team and her customers, and they are the driving reason for bringing her vision to life.
The barista team at Jessie’s Café are wildly passionate about coffee and it made perfect sense to create a community where the exchange of knowledge and inspiring stories could be shared.
With an uncompromising commitment to quality, we are constantly evolving our barista courses with the most up to date knowledge in order to keep ahead of the dynamic specialty coffee industry.
We deliver the ultimate experience in seeing the process from start to finish and we encourage an interactive and participative learning environment. We believe in teaching the age-old techniques using state of the art equipment because that is what makes the difference between a good barista and one that shines.
Meet Jesse the backup “Jessie” or as we like to refer to our very own Mr bean! Quite fitting don’t you think? … Considering he works in the coffee “bean” industry! He has quirk, a quick sense of humor and is a walking coffee dictionary, always whipping out the fun facts! He joined our team in 2016 and is our dedicated trainer on Thursday’s and Saturdays. He has plenty to share and is full of knowledge, and has this knack for making you hang onto every word he says – engaging is an understatement! Enjoy the quirk!
Coffee of choice: Long mac ‘topped up’ and lots of them!
