There aren\u2019t many prominent barista training institutes<\/a> in Chicago, but one name was appeared a number of times in our search:<\/p>\n

Midwest Barista School<\/h2>\n

Touting themselves as more than just an average barista training institution, this school<\/a> claims to be a total training experience for initiating a coffee business, operated by successful individuals of the specialty coffee industry, in a professional barista school.<\/p>\n

This school\u2019s barista training class gives the ideal trainer to student ratio in a small and regulated class size. This is largely due to JP coffee\u2019s (the institutes business wing) profitable operations from 1993 and onwards. In other words, you don\u2019t have to worry about your training being compromised by an abnormal class strength which greatly reduces the time an instructor can provide to the student – this is typical of many cheaply priced barista training programs.<\/p>\n

The Midwest Barista School has recently announced some bigtime changes: their facility will be moving to a fresh location, which can be seen from the pictures of the new venue (presently under construction) on their website. They\u2019ve dubbed it MBS 2.0, and it will have larger space, more equipment, increased training, greater class offerings and, in general, more of a good thing i.e. education and training.<\/p>\n
