* Larger groups by arrangement

Experience specialty coffee, from green bean to perfect cappuccino

Are you curious about how coffee is made before it ends up in your cup? During the Barista Studio Coffee Experience, you’ll experience the entire journey of coffee in an inspiring setting: a real coffee roastery in Amsterdam. During this unique coffee workshop in Amsterdam, you’ll discover how green coffee beans are roasted, how roasting affects flavor, and how to recognize these differences yourself during an in-depth coffee tasting.

After the tour, you’ll get to try your hand at operating a professional espresso machine. You’ll learn the basics of making espresso, discover how grind size, dose, and extraction work together, and practice frothing milk for a creamy cappuccino. It’s all about experiencing, tasting, and learning firsthand.

With its combination of an exclusive behind-the-scenes look, hands-on exercises, and personalized guidance, this workshop is much more than just another barista workshop in Amsterdam. At the end of the workshop, you’ll receive a nice goodie bag so you can continue the Coffee Experience at home.

Who is this experience for?

The Barista Studio Coffee Experience is perfect for home baristas, coffee lovers, and anyone curious about the world of specialty coffee. No experience is necessary; this workshop is specifically designed to introduce you to coffee in an accessible and inspiring way. Even if you’re considering taking an in-depth barista workshop or SCA training later on, this Coffee Experience is an excellent first step.
