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 was the devoted owner and inspiration behind Jessies Café & Roasting Co and Barista School Perth until recently. She shared an amazing energy and love for her team and her customers, and they are the driving reason for bringing her vision to life. And while she may no longer be at the helm, the Jessie’s & BSP team strive to carry her vision on into the future.
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!
Eve has been drinking long blacks from the age of 10, thanks to her family’s passion for a good brew. She’s passionate about teaching people how to love coffee! Not just how to make it, but where it comes from, who grows it, and what makes every cup meaningful. Over the years, Eve has worked closely with businesses to build and refine their coffee offerings from the ground up, while training new baristas not just to make great coffee, but to truly understand it. Eve’s highlight when it comes to teaching is emphasising that every single person in the chain matters, and that a barista’s true job is to respect and create a beautiful product that showcases the efforts of so many. She’s passionate about customer experience, sustainable business, and building a hospitality industry that’s as healthy and supportive as it is delicious. If you’re lucky enough to be in one of her sessions, expect to walk away with a whole new appreciation for what’s in your cup and the story of how it’s created.
