Have you always wanted to make coffee at home just like at a good coffee shop? During the “Barista at Home” workshop, you’ll learn, step by step, how to get the most out of your coffee machine and how to make better espressos and cappuccinos at home. This workshop is entirely hands-on and suitable for anyone who wants to get more out of their coffee.
You’ll learn how grinding, dosing, and extraction affect flavor, and how to froth milk until it’s creamy and smooth for cappuccinos and lattes. You’ll also discover more about coffee beans, flavor differences, and the techniques behind specialty coffee.
The workshop takes place in Schiedam, Dordrecht, or right in your own home. You can even bring or use your own coffee machine, so you’ll learn to work with your own setup right away. That way, you can put everything you learn into practice at home immediately. An inspiring workshop for any coffee lover who wants to brew better coffee at home.

“A really fun workshop. I thought I was already pretty good at making coffee, but it turns out I was still doing a lot of things wrong. Adjusting the grind and frothing the milk, in particular, really made a difference.”
Thomas
“My partner and I took this class because we bought a new espresso machine for our home. We got so many practical tips that we could put into practice right away. Now our cappuccino tastes so much better.”
Linda de Vries
“A cozy atmosphere, clear explanations, and—most importantly—lots of hands-on work. Exactly what I was looking for.”
Bas
“I expected it to be mostly theory, but we were actually operating the machine ourselves almost the entire time. It’s great that you also get feedback on what you’re doing. That helps you learn much faster.”
Eva“We did this as a team outing with four coworkers. Everyone was at a different skill level, but they did a great job accommodating that. We had a lot of laughs and learned a thing or two, too.”
Mark Jansen“After this workshop, I finally understand why my espresso at home never tasted the same as it does at a coffee shop. Small adjustments really made a big difference. I highly recommend it if you want to get more out of your machine at home.”
Sophie
“We were looking for a unique outing and ended up here. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the instruction is great, and you can tell they’re really passionate about coffee. We’re still practicing making the hearts at home. We’re not perfect yet, but we’re getting better and better.”
Kim & Dennis“Very informative! I was especially surprised by the tasting of different espressos. You really learn to recognize why one coffee tastes so much better than another.”
Patricia
“Great workshop. Not too hard, not too easy. Just lots of hands-on work, asking questions, and practicing. In hindsight, it could have been an hour longer.”
