Hey all,
I was looking into finding a latte art training class or the like for my wife as a Christmas present. I ran across Seattle Barista Training Academy in Renton, but they are looking for $1200+ for two days which is way out of my price range. I also saw a MSNBC article from March 2007, that mentioned Zoka, Caffe D’Arte, and Cafe Vita all offer training and/or classes but I could neither find pricing nor any information on their websites.
She is mostly wanting to learn how to do latte art but a more well-rounded training program could only net me better coffee in the end!
