At Kenya Coffee School (KCS), we double up as the home of the finest Specialty Coffee and Barista Skills training, known for our unmatchable latte art mastery. Whether serving in exquisite gastronomical settings, domestic kitchens, or international hospitality markets, our alumni carry excellence that speaks for itself.

But we are not just about crafting coffee — we are about crafting futures. By coupling our world-class barista training with job-matching and career opportunities through our partnership with APPLY GLOBAL, we are moving the game forward. Together with Barista Mtaani, KCS is on impact gear for the youth in coffee, ensuring dignified livelihoods across Kenya and beyond.

Our Legacy: Empowerment & Planet First

Our mission is not only to empower others but to protect what sustains us all — our one and only planet. That is why we made the bold decision to go beyond “Fair” and embrace “Good” practices. Through our Earth Observation Programs, we are introducing cutting-edge sustainability initiatives to monitor, protect, and regenerate the ecosystems that make coffee possible.

As Alfred Gitau Mwaura the Founder of Kenya Coffee Schoo reminds us:

“Who’s the voice for Planet Earth? To whom much is trusted, is equal to how much accountability is demanded! In this age of AI, we are challenged to prove our moral existence — through kindness, humility, and the fighting spirit to defend our natural resources for all.”

At KCS, we believe you cannot sell for profit what humanity truly needs to survive and thrive for a tomorrows’ generation.
Coffee is more than a commodity — it is a bridge between livelihoods, culture, and nature.
