Silver Cup Coffee Introduces Innovative Way To Train Baristas

Aug. 19, 2009 - PRLog -- Gourmet Seattle  coffee roaster,  Silver Cup Coffee has recently introduced an innovative new system for training baristas. The system is designed to combat the growing difficulty small business owners are facing in training cost, efficiency, and effectiveness.

The system, which includes a DVD and workbook for each Barista, is designed with individual learning styles in mind. The DVD is interactive, prompting baristas to participate in a four-step learning process: watch, write, practice, and review.

Baristas watch as an instructor demonstrates each step of pulling a perfect shot of coffee. Then, they answer questions in their workbook pertaining to what they have just seen. Next, the DVD prompts them to press pause and follow instructions on an on-screen practice slide. After completing this process for each of the six DVD sections, baristas take a fill-in-the-blank style test, reviewing what they have just learned.

The DVD includes instructions on pulling espresso shots, steaming milk for latte art, flavoring espresso drinks, a drink glossary, creating specialty drinks, and cleaning espresso equipment.

The Barista training program is available free to Silver Cup Coffee customers, who buy espresso coffee and expresso wholesale from Silver Cup Coffee. Silver Cup Coffee customers know that Silver Cup Coffee knows the coffee roasting business inside and out and the customers have nothing but rave reviews about the training program. “I use the Barista DVD every time I train a new employee,” says Silver Cup customer Jonette Anchetta. “It is a wonderful tool. It’s covers everything I would cover, presents even seasoned baristas with new information, and really cuts down on the time I spend training,” “I used to use a training program from another roaster, but it didn’t cover shot timing and quality well,” she continued. “My newer employees really know how important it is to watch their timing to produce great espresso shots.”

“In an economy like this one, manager’s really need a way to quickly train baristas without sacrificing quality,” said Dawnette Allender. Silver Cup customer and district manager of a 9-store espresso chain called The Espresso Connection, “This tool gives us confidence in our barista’s abilities without the usual time, expense, and headache.
