Looking to master the art of espresso? This Basic Barista Workshop is perfect for anyone keen to brew barista quality coffee at home. In this 2.5-hour hands-on session, participants will learn how to work with a professional espresso machine and pick up essential barista skills in a relaxed, small-group setting.
The experience begins with an introduction to speciality coffee – how it’s grown, processed and ethically sourced. Attendees will then explore the roasting process and discover how different roast profiles influence flavour. But the real action starts at the machine. Under expert guidance, coffee lovers will learn how to dose, tamp and extract the perfect espresso shot, as well as how to spot and fix common issues like over or under extraction.
The workshop also includes an intro to milk steaming and texturising – the secret to silky flat whites and smooth lattes. Towards the end of the session, participants can put their new skills to the test in a friendly “drinks-off”, recreating popular café-style drinks and comparing results.
With small group sizes and loads of time on the machine, this workshop offers a fun, practical way to gain confidence and improve brewing skills. Whether they’re total beginners or just want to fine-tune their technique, this is a brilliant entry into the world of home barista life.
It also makes one of the best coffee lover gifts going. If you’re searching for thoughtful, experience-based gifts for coffee lovers that go beyond beans and mugs, this is a top pick. Because let’s face it – life’s too short for bad coffee.
