If speciality coffee is your thing, then this is the course for you. Fonté offers optimally sourced and a premium hand roasted coffee. Established 25 years ago in Seattle, they are delighted to be the sole supplier/distributor of Fonté coffee here in Ireland.

Their standards are high, and they want to share this knowledge with you through their courses, making you a better barista.
