ABOUT AFRICAN COFFEE CAMPUS

Rooted in Ethiopia. Crafted for the World.

At African Coffee Campus, we believe the best way to learn about coffee is to go straight to the source. Based in the birthplace of Arabica coffee, we offer a transformative, hands-on educational experience that bridges the gap between coffee’s rich agricultural roots and the modern specialty café culture.

  • What Makes Us Unique

Unlike traditional coffee schools, African Coffee Campus offers a fully immersive journey that blends farm-based learning in Ethiopia’s Kaffa region with technical training in Addis Ababa. Students don’t just study coffee—they live it, work alongside producers, and gain a deep appreciation for every step of the coffee journey. We’re inspired by the structure and quality of European coffee academies, but our identity is deeply African, local, and culturally rich.

  • Aspiring baristas & cafe owners

Our testimonials

What feedback have our students provided?

The 3-week immersive course was a game-changer. Starting on the farms in Kaffa gave me a perspective on coffee I never could have gotten from a book. The second half in Addis Ababa was perfectly balanced with deep technical knowledge. The instructors were true experts, and the balance of professionalism and fun was spot on. A fantastic experience all around.

Helen England

The school is amazing with an incredibly kind and knowledgeable staff. You have so much fun and learn so much more than you expect. Waking up on a coffee farm in Kaffa is something I'll never forget.

Thibaut France

ACC is a brilliant school to learn about coffee in a way you simply can't anywhere else. Understanding the plant, the soil, and the people behind it all before you even touch an espresso machine changes everything. Highly recommended.

Hanna Germany

if you're hesitating, don't. Just book it. This isn't just a coffee course; it's a life experience. You'll leave with new skills, new friends, and a completely new appreciation for your daily cup.

I thought I knew a lot about coffee, but this course took my understanding to a whole new level. The sensory skills module was particularly eye-opening. The combination of farm life and city training in Addis is the perfect way to learn. Thank you, ACC!
