About this Event
This workshop is an introduction to the techniques of craft coffee, espresso, and latte art. Guests will learn the basic science behind the perfect espresso shot, including the process of dialing in espresso grind size, coffee to water ratios, and calculating proper brew time. Guests will also learn the basics of the most aesthetic part of coffee-making – milk steaming and latte art. Whether you own a home espresso machine or not, you will be able to glean practical skills and knowledge applicable to virtually any brew method. Participants will have the chance to gain hands-on experience with a top-tier home barista espresso machine, the Breville Barista Express, as well as a top-tier commercial espresso machine, the La Marzocco Linea Mini. In addition to espresso and milk trainings, guests will also receive a bonus training on brewing the most accessible and delicious cup of black coffee with the pour-over method.
Participants will walk away with pamphlets that outline the skills and techniques covered in class and information on further consulting and development (including a free follow-up consult!) so that they can continue their barista training journey.
