Hola Coffee

A Madrid specialty-coffee roaster with three cafés and an academy in Carabanchel that gives tastings, workshops and barista courses.

Hola Coffee is a specialty-coffee roaster in Madrid. It roasts daily at its roastery in Carabanchel, sells coffee online and to cafés and restaurants, and has three cafés of its own: the one at the roastery, on Avenida de Pedro Díez, another on Calle Doctor Fourquet, next to Lavapiés, and another on Lagasca, in the Salamanca district.

A roaster with an academy

In the same building as the roastery runs the Hola Coffee Academy, the classroom where the team trains professional baristas and enthusiasts. Courses range from one-hour tastings to a barista intensive, with the option of Specialty Coffee Association certificates at the professional levels. The house says it works with traceable coffees, looking for the farm, variety and process to show in the cup.

How the workshops work

Each workshop is bought on the website, choosing the date from the drop-down, and is held in the Pedro Díez classroom in groups that the house describes as small. For enthusiasts there are tastings, filter coffee, espresso at home and latte art; none requires previous experience. The cancellation terms are strict: you are refunded everything if you cancel 21 days ahead, half between 21 days and 48 hours beforehand, and nothing after. If only one person signs up, they may postpone the session or offer a refund. For questions, write to [email protected].
