Nepal Coffee Academy

After taking barista class here, I have a good command of coffee knowledge. Teachers here are very patient with teaching and answering my questions, and because I am a foreigner they explained the knowledge to me more detailed and clear. They are experts in coffee. They are not only teachers but also mentors who help you to self develop and would like to share life with you. The machine here is professional. My classmates all become my friends, and they are very nice! We had enjoyable chitchat and sometimes I can hear customers playing musical instruments. I really enjoy my time and vibe here. It is definitely one of the most unforgettable and beautiful experiences for me living in Nepal. Besides I highly recommend food here. Whatever is sandwiches or cakes, they are super delicious. I have continuously had meals here for half a months. It’s a good place for people working online.

This place has been my go to place for brainstorming and outdoor working space. I love everything about this place. The food and the vibe are my favorites. If you are serendipitous, this place is perfect. For others, who want to enjoy food as well as time, this place is worth it.

i just finished my barista class today and i was a great Experience. Best part about this class was working and learning with the instructors cooperative and motivating. if someone is looking for a barista and brewing classes Nepal Coffee Academy is the perfect place for all.

I got to know many things about coffee in Nepal Coffee Academy. At beginning, I had zero knowledge about coffee but after learning and working with well experienced trainer makes me know more and more about about coffee.. I am glad that I learnt from one of the best coffee academy of Nepal.

NCA is one of the places i would want to spend my day either working or hanging out. It also has a space where i can study with no disturbance. NCA has great hospitality and everybody is very genuine. I love to visit here whenever i have time.

I took a workshop with Dr. Raj Kumar Banjara on introduction to coffee. Although I have been a roaster for more 3 years now and I have been working with coffee for more than 5 years and took several training programs. This workshop still offered me something new. Dr. Raj Kumar is a very knowledgeable person in coffee and is a certified SCA trainer as well as Q-grader. He is the founder of National Coffee Academy of Nepal. I found the training venue to be well designed with various important learning materials and analysing and brewing equipments. The workshop started with in-depth understanding of green coffee quality. We explored various factors that affects the green coffee quality and went through the sorting and finding various defects in green coffee. Dr. Raj explained how Nepali Specialty coffee is being produced, harvested, sorted and processed to ensure highest level of quality that eventually affects the quality of roasted beans. He explained how various equipments are used to measure density, moisture, colour. Then we did two roasting session with a Topper 1-kg roaster followed by cupping. The workshop was intended to for new coffee professionals. Anyone who is new to specialty coffee will find this workshop very informative. NCA offers ample facilities to learn about coffee and they have more detailed workshop for advance level courses. As me and the other workshop participants were already in the coffee industry, Dr. Raj went into details with understanding green coffee quality and cupping. The roasting session didn’t offer me anything new but someone who has just started to learn will find the roasting session useful. Nevertheless to say roasting is very complex to be covered in just one workshop.

The disability inclusive accessibility is a new aspect that adds value to the training institute and Dr. Raj has previously trained visually impaired and physically challenged learners which is a great initiative.

Great initiation, the organisation is working on a Coffee industry value chain and National Coffee Academy is a part of that value chain, the inclusive principle adopted by organisation is really admirable.

A nice quiet place for you to pull your laptop out and get some stuff done. The staff is super friendly and the coffee is the best in the business.
