Since its inception in 2009, the academy has trained over 300 employees a year on average in the coffee service.
To meet increasing demand for training, BaxterStorey has created a devoted training space at its London office, which includes eight teaching stations, hand-built espresso machines, brewing equipment and a reverse osmosis water-filtration system.
