Ivy League Barista Academy

This week at the ILBA has been another fantastic & inspiring one! Great students, delicious coffee, and countless moments where we watched these once novice baristas become drastically closer to masters of their craft.
We missed a few students in our traditional group shot and will be sending a few more on their way!
Regardless, from the whole ILBA team, we want to again thank our class of June 2015, you were all a pleasure to teach and we wish you much success!

With a New Year comes new amazing coffee. We are thrilled so share of new crop coffees with our first Barista Class of 2015! Cheers to a great week ahead!

What an outstanding class! It was a pleasure having all at our Coffee School this week. We wish you all the best and much future success with all endeavors!

Our master Coffee & Barista Trainer cupping our new Kenya Ichamama Peaberry. All she could say after breaking the crust and taking her first taste was how "buttery!" this Kenya is.

Our awesome February ILBA class learning to cup different single origin coffees like the true coffee enthusiasts they are!

Happy Holidays from your favorite coffee school! We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Although it's been 12 years since this monumental day in America's history, we will never forget the events that took place on September 11, 2001. We honor those who have passed and our hearts go out to those left behind. #911 #2011
