BECOME YOUR OWN FAVOURITE BARISTA

Learn the mindful approach to coffee making that separates true baristas from the coffee snobs. Walk away with the skills and confidence to craft amazing coffee at your home or office, every single day.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

THE SECRETS TO DIALLING IN

Espresso is part science, part instinct — and we're here to take the guesswork out of it.

You'll learn exactly how to dial in your espresso so every shot lands where it should. No more wasted beans, no more frustrating trial and error. Just consistently great espresso, pulled right in your own home or office.

FOOLPROOF MILK TEXTURING TECHNIQUES

Velvety, silky milk foam isn't just for cafés. We'll walk you through exactly how to texture milk to that perfect consistency, whether you're making a flat white for one or a round for the whole office - from home brew to hero.

POURING WITH CONFIDENCE

There's something deeply satisfying about pulling together a café-quality flat white or long black in your own home — and it's more achievable than you think.

We'll show you how to bring all the elements together using your own equipment, so you can pour balanced, beautiful coffee that tastes exactly as good as it looks.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • 2-hour hands-on workshop
  • Master the art of dialling in espresso and steaming silky-smooth milk on your home or office setup (or ours).
  • Choose to learn on the machine you use every day and unlock its full potential — or use one of ours.

    Small class sizes mean personalised attention and real practice time — not just watching from the back of the room.
