A Better Kind of Coffee Business Class

Get ready to immerse yourself in the smartest and most up-to-date coffee business course in the nation! With years of experience in the specialty coffee industry, combine with hundreds of hours strategically developing, testing, and refining course curriculum, Texas Coffee School has evolved coffee business education to a higher level. Through our extremely small class sizes we deliver a truly personalized learning experience. To reenforce the lessons learned in class, we also provide every student with a printed packet of detailed class notes to take home!

More Days. More Money. More Fluff?

4-days, 5-days, 7-days? Does more days make a better coffee business class? Sadly, no. Other coffee schools learned long ago that if they add more days (and more fluff) they can charge you more money. It's a bitter reality. Instead of spreading our coffee business class over additional days, we keep our business course focused on the things that actually matter. This way you save on tuition, hotel, travel, and time. Don't pay extra for fluff!
