5-Day Private Barista Boot Camp | Real-World Training at Zibetto NYC

Want to become a barista? Train like one.

Welcome to the Zibetto 5-Day Private Barista Boot Camp — an intensive, hands-on training experience designed for anyone who wants to learn what it actually takes to work behind a professional espresso bar.

This is not a classroom-style coffee course.

For five days, you will train one-on-one with Emiliano and the Zibetto barista team inside a real working New York City espresso bar.

You won’t just watch demonstrations. You’ll work with professional commercial equipment, practice behind the bar, learn real café workflow, interact with customers, and experience the speed and expectations of an actual espresso bar.

Only ONE student is accepted per program, which means the training, equipment, and attention are focused entirely on you.

During the 20-hour program, you’ll learn:

• Espresso machine operation
• Grinder adjustment and dialing in espresso
• Dosing, distribution, and tamping
• Espresso extraction and troubleshooting
• Milk steaming and proper milk texture
• Cappuccino, latte, macchiato, americano, and other espresso drinks
• Introduction to latte art
• Drink-building workflow
• Speed and efficiency behind the bar
• Customer service and communication
• Working alongside experienced baristas
• Preparing drinks during real café service
• Cleaning and maintaining professional espresso equipment
• Opening, closing, and workstation organization

As your skills develop, you’ll begin applying what you’ve learned during real café service alongside the Zibetto team.

You’ll see real orders come in, prepare drinks, interact with customers, and learn how to stay organized and consistent while working in a real-world environment.

This is what makes the Zibetto Barista Boot Camp different.

Real equipment. Real customers. Real baristas. Real experience.
