ABC's is the first and only professional school in the U.S. devoted to domestic and international specialty coffee business education and hands-on barista training. No other coffee school can match the scope of ABC's educational and retail success-building curriculum. ABC's is not connected to a specific brand of coffee-related product, equipment or coffee. Unlike other schools, we teach our students on a variety of the industry's leading espresso equipment, let them work with coffee from multiple roasters and expose them to a wide range of associated products. All the training and information you receive at ABC's is unbiased and in your best interest.
ABC's, located in Portland, Oregon, offers a comprehensive coffee business start-up program and barista and latte art training. ABC's has more than 50 sponsors that rank among the leading companies in the specialty coffee industry worldwide and is the only school with state-of-the art facilities that include an actual coffee bar setting for "real-life" training. Our small class sizes insure a personalized experience taught by coffee business professionals who have owned and operated successful retail coffee operations.
