About Midwest Barista School
Education and Training
The Midwest Barista School (MBS) is not just a barista training school. It's a complete business training experience, run by successful operators, in a professional barista school. Our class provides a one-to-two trainer-to-student ratio in a small class size with JP's profitable operations since 1993 as our credentials.
Jack, Sherry and the MBS trainers bring real-life systems, day-to-day operational experience, years of assisting a variety of coffee businesses create, open and operate their businesses, and the real value that decades of successful operation give. We believe MBS offers the most relevant, most valuable experience of any barista training school because of our ongoing successful operation.
