Why Amsterdam
A quietly world-class coffee city
Amsterdam is one of the most cosmopolitan cities on earth, home to around 180 nationalities, and its coffee scene is every bit as international. Behind the canals sits a sophisticated network of specialty cafés, roasteries, and speakeasy-style bars that rank among the best anywhere.
Training here means learning in a compact, creative city where quality runs deep. You’ll build skills surrounded by a coffee culture that punches well above its weight, with inspiration on every corner.
The school
A professional bar, not a classroom
Our Amsterdam school is run by some of the city’s best bartenders and is famous for its enormous back bar of rare and world-class spirits. Near Holendrecht station, it’s a direct tram ride from the centre. You’ll train on professional-grade espresso machines and commercial grinders in a real working bar environment.
