LBA - Lazy Barista Academy

LBA - Lazy Barista Academy is a complete barista course that runs entirely on your device. Start with no experience and work through eight stages of structured training: Coffee Basics, Equipment, Grinding, Espresso, Milk Skills, Brewing, Recipes and Barista Mastery. Every lesson explains a concept, shows a visual demonstration, lists the exact sequence of actions and names the three mistakes beginners make. Then you perform it — pull a virtual shot, diagnose a broken drink, rank acidity and body, rebuild a recipe in order, or survive a ticket rush. No account. No sign-in. No cloud profile. Your progress lives on your device.
