For our next student feature, we are featuring who did our Basic Barista Package late last year — his passion and enthusiasm is infectious and we can’t wait to see what he gets up to in the future!

I completed the Basic Espresso, Advanced Espresso, and Latte Art courses.

The training at MCA was honestly a game changer. The knowledge, passion and real-world insight shared by the trainers was incredible. They equipped us with not just the basics, but the finer details and industry skills that you don’t always find elsewhere. Their support gave me the confidence to perfect my craft and helped me turn my passion into a successful business— I’m so grateful for everything I learned there.

Things have been going really well! We’ve grown The Coffee Enthusiast into a fully mobile coffee cart that now services events all across Melbourne—and even in regional parts of Victoria. From weddings and school events to corporate gigs and sporting carnivals, we’re booked most weekends and often during the week too. If you’ve got an event coming up, we’d love to be a part of it—just make sure to book early so you don’t miss out!

We’re looking to expand even further. There’s been so much interest in our unique coffee cart setup—unlike traditional vans or trailers, our cart can access indoor venues and tighter spaces, which people love. Because of that, we’re currently planning to launch a second cart so we can double our capacity and reach even more communities and events. Down the line, we also hope to train more baristas and eventually open a small espresso bar or café when the timing feels right.
