Coffee can keep you awake during a long day of office work or while teaching an especially boring group of children. Stay awake with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

  • $39 for a 2-hour or 90-minute barista class for one (a $125 value)
  • $69 for a 2-hour or 90-minute barista class for two (a $250 value)

Groups of 6 to 10 students meet on a Saturday, Monday, or Tuesday to dive deep into one important component of the coffee expert's métier. Students may choose from three classes: a 2-hour Home Coffee Brewing, which helps bring out the unique flavors of single-origin coffees through french-press, pour-over, and siphon techniques; a 2-hour Ideal Espresso Shot; or a 90-minute Milk Steaming & Latte Art. All classes include plenty of hands-on practice and chances to sip each creation.

Seattle Barista Academy

A poorly trained barista in front of a top-notch espresso machine is like an 8-year-old behind the wheel of a car—he has no idea the power before him, nor how to use it. Enter owner Bob Burgess—a specialty-beverage entrepreneur for more than 39 years—and his team at Seattle Barista Academy. For just less than a decade, Burgess and company have taught intense hands-on training programs that focus on crafting coffee, espresso, cappuccino, macchiato, and mocha drinks using advanced techniques and equipment. From learning the life cycle of a coffee bean to mastering grinding methods, extraction techniques, and latte art, students walk away with a wealth of knowledge that makes them more employable. Like deeply unpopular one-man shows, the classes consist of one-on-one attention, since class sizes are limited to no more than seven participants. The school provides educational materials and CDs for each course, and complimentary shuttle services are available both to and from the class.

Seattle Barista Academy's staff members—all of whom have been coffee-shop and kiosk owners at some point in their careers—also provide consultation services for owners and soon-to-be owners of coffee establishments. These sessions provide clients with the coffee-making and marketing knowledge they need to grow their coffee cart, kiosk, or fort built from coffee beans.

The Groupon Guide to: Talking to Dogs

The mutual affinity between humans and dogs is often hampered by a natural language barrier. Fortunately, if spoken in an affectionate tone formerly reserved for babies, dogs are able to fully understand any of the following phrases:

  • “Whoosa good boy?”
  • “Go forra walk?”
  • “Thank you for that bird, but I don’t want that bird! Wanna go bury that bird? Who’s gonna go bury that bird?”
  • “Chew up this evidence of mail fraud! That’s my girl.”
  • “Wait a minute, who’s secretly been a dog-shaped pile of laundry this whole time? That’s right—YOU have!”

Can dogs really understand these phrases?
