Barista Hustle
Barista Hustle is the world’s leading online platform for barista training, bringing innovative and accessible coffee education to millions of people. Founded by two-time World Barista Champion Matt Perger, Barista Hustle is committed to helping baristas and coffee professionals sharpen their skills and push the boundaries of coffee making. With a focus on engagement, transparency, and precision, Barista Hustle offers a wealth of resources — from comprehensive online courses to expertly designed tools.
Matt Perger’s journey into coffee began with a relentless pursuit of excellence. As a world-renowned barista and coffee innovator, he made waves in the industry by popularising groundbreaking techniques like using the EK43 grinder for espresso and sieving coffee grinds for uniformity. With these achievements under his belt, he launched Barista Hustle as a way to share his expertise and passion for the craft.
“Everything I do is focused on consistency, accuracy, and deliciousness,” says Matt, whose approach to coffee making has shaped both his personal career and Barista Hustle’s ethos. His passion for precision is also reflected in the design of Barista Hustle Tools, a line of thoughtfully crafted coffee equipment including the iconic Barista Hustle Tamper and cupping bowls. Each tool is designed to mirror the craftsmanship and attention to detail taught in their online courses.
At the heart of Barista Hustle is the mission to demystify coffee for learners of all levels.
