Train Your Team to World-Class Standards:
Certified Barista Training & Coffee Education

Your coffee program is only as consistent as the staff behind the machine. At Infusion, we provide the technical education necessary to reduce waste, improve beverage quality, and protect your equipment investment. From foundational barista skills to advanced sensory training, our curriculum is an essential resource for owners and managers committed to excellence.

Infusion is home to one of only 31 SCA-certified coffee laboratories in the world. Founded by SCA Diploma holder and world-renowned coffee expert Patrick O’Malley, our facility offers a behind-the-scenes look at the systems and processes required to run a high-volume, profitable coffee business.

Create A Custom Solution for Your Team!

We understand that the rigors of the hospitality industry don't always align with a fixed calendar. If our scheduled dates don’t fit your team’s availability, or if you require a curriculum specifically tailored to your menu, equipment, and workflow, we offer custom team training.

We can build a private program for your business, including:

  • On-Site Staff Intensive: We bring our expertise to your bar to train your team in their actual working environment.

  • Private Lab Sessions: Bring your entire squad to our SCA-certified laboratory for a private, focused training session.

  • Workflow & Quality Consulting: Beyond just making drinks, we help your managers implement systems for waste reduction, speed of service, and equipment preventive maintenance.
