Home Barista Intensive: Espresso, Milk Texturing & Latte Art

HOME BARISTA INTENSIVE

From Bean Selection to Latte Art

Bring more intention to your espresso routine.

Join Six Rows Café and barista instructor Kyle for an evening intensive exploring the full home-barista workflow—from choosing coffee and preparing an espresso shot to texturing milk and practicing foundational latte art.

Designed for home coffee enthusiasts, aspiring baristas, hospitality professionals, and TSU students, this class brings together practical technique, guided demonstrations, and opportunities to troubleshoot your approach.

SESSION FOCUS

• Bean selection and its role in your espresso workflow

• Grinder adjustments and dialing in an espresso recipe

• Preparing the portafilter, distributing coffee, and tamping

• Evaluating espresso and making intentional adjustments

• Espresso-machine operation and workflow

• Milk steaming, texture, and pouring control

• Foundational latte-art techniques

• Cleaning and caring for your espresso station

WHAT TO EXPECT

This is an equipment-focused learning session led by Kyle. Demonstrations and guided practice will connect each step of the workflow, helping you understand not just what to do, but what to adjust when your drink is not turning out as intended.

You do not need professional barista experience. The class is geared toward participants ready to move beyond introductory coffee tasting and explore espresso preparation in greater depth.
