Our trainer


Our trainer, Silvia, represents the heart and soul of what Gratia stands for. A passionate and dedicated coffee enthusiast and barista, she is committed to using her skills to empower others. On a personal level, she inspires the Gratia community every day, with her commitment to supporting great causes that address poverty through the provision of education in low income countries.
Silvia was inspired to deliver personalised coffee training sessions at Gratia, after realising that there was a gap in the barista training market that focused on the intricate details to help aspiring baristas develop the skills and knowledge to produce coffee that is unique to their style and meets every customer's expectations.
Her course is not about spending a few hours in a busy class, just to receive a certificate which doesn’t promise you anything.
Instead it is a one-on-one experience focusing on the little details that matter. The details that change a customer's experience for the better and enable you, as a barista, to flourish in your career.
