Did you get a home espresso machine for Christmas or your birthday? Do you want to get one for home but don’t know where to start or what to expect? Are you currently pulling shots at home and can’t seem to get them as good as you’d like? Is your steamed milk not so fluffy? Well, say no more! We can help!

This is a hands-on approach to learning the fundamentals of espresso and milk science. Students will learn how to properly dose, tamp and pull shots of espresso and understand what they should taste like. We will also learn the basics of blending for espresso, milk texturing and stretching, proper milk temperature for beverages, proper beverage sizes and proportions. *PLEASE NOTE: If you are looking to learn barista training to work in the coffee industry or to open a coffee shop, this class can be a place to start! We offer a professional class that is more focused so please see this page for more information.
