Barista Training
As part of our commitment to making good coffee accessible to all, the Coaltown Academy offers barista training to our wholesale customers at our roastery. Drawing on more than 12 years of hands-on experience in specialty coffee, we’ve developed a bespoke training programme designed to build confidence, consistency, and quality behind the bar.
From the history and sourcing of coffee to espresso extraction, milk texturing, and latte art, our barista training equips teams with the practical skills and knowledge needed to serve exceptional specialty coffee every day.
Coffee Equipment
We specialise in providing our wholesale partners with industry-leading equipment to ensure you get the most out of our coffee. We work alongside some of the world’s top equipment manufacturers, including La Marzocco and only offer machines we use every day in our own cafés.
We also offer customisable options for coffee machines to best suit your aesthetic. If you're interested, don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’d love to help you find the perfect setup.

Not only do we install your brand new equipment and train you on it, but we continue to support you right the way through its life.
If you’re too far away for a Coaltown engineer, we have a support network of engineers across the UK who are on hand 24/7 to answer any queries you have or to pop in and get you back up and running. If you’re outside of your machine’s warranty, we review the fees on a case-by-case basis.

The working-class community engagement, the rustic and industrial aesthetic of HQ and the core values around quality, sustainability and passion align perfectly with ours.

Scott & his team have been relentless in making their dream become a reality & wow what a reality they have brought to Ammanford & the surrounding area. Not only has Coaltown offered us a fantastic product to sell but they have also provided countless training opportunities for our staff & given us invaluable advice into the equipment & setup that we needed to compete in our industry.

DERI REED ~ THE WARREN ~ CARMARTHEN, CARMARTHENSHIRE
"The quality of the product is exceptional; it always has been. From their quality of service to offerings and trying new products, it made it an easy choice for us. From when we first opened to now, our coffee orders have only increased. The Team at Coaltown have never pushed us but have supported us along the way.
Coaltown has always been good at following through, always asking what they can do to help and continuously providing a good product for our business.
We’ll continue to stick with them; that will never change.”
Adrian ~ BEAT ~ Bridgend
"We want to be able to provide a premium product and a quality product. You can see how busy we are today; people appreciate the quality we provide. We’re not everyone’s cup of tea and I get that, there are multiple other places they can get coffee. But I’m confident in saying this: you won’t get a coffee like how we make one, anywhere in this area. This is down to the staff, equipment, beans and how we process our coffee.
It’s been a great relationship from start to finish. Long may it continue."
