About this Event

Hey Chicago! Come elevate your espresso game.

Join us at the Sip Society Coffee Education Studio (1806 W Cuyler) to unlock the secrets to making café-quality espresso at home in this hands-on workshop. Learn how to build your ideal espresso recipe by mastering key brewing variables—grind size, dose, extraction time, and others. Whether you’re new to espresso or refining your skills, this workshop will help you to brew this beautiful beverage with confidence.

Have an Espresso Machine?

Bring it! We want to help you learn how to use your own machine. We will have three espresso machines, ranging from beginner to mid-range and high-end. But, we think one of the best parts of this workshop is for you to get hands-on experience with the tools you have at home. So, if you've got it, bring it!

Don't have an Espresso Machine?

We will have three machines that range from beginner and budget friendly to high end and fancy. This workshop helps people figure out what type of machine they want, so join us if you're in the market or on the fence about a machine. We'll help you figure out what works for you.

Who are we and why should you join us?

The workshop will be led by Bradley and Matthew, who have over twenty years of experience in the coffee industry. We formed Sip Society in 2024 to focus on coffee education with a particular emphasis on everyday drinkers in addition to professional coffee people.
