Workshop
⭐ 8.0
From Bean to Barista is a unique one-day training course for anyone who truly wants to learn more about coffee. During this comprehensive workshop, you’ll spend an entire day diving into the world of espresso, pour-over coffee, latte art, sensory evaluation, and coffee techniques. It’s not just a collection of separate modules, but a complete experience where everything comes together.
Before the workshop, we’ll discuss your interests and the topics you’d like to explore. Based on that, we’ll put together a program that’s perfectly tailored to your level. This makes the workshop suitable for both beginners and experienced coffee lovers.
You’ll work with professional equipment in our Barista Studio in Schiedam and gain a deeper understanding of various brewing methods, flavor profiles, and techniques. We’ll also cover milk frothing, extraction, and latte art in detail. Thanks to the small group sizes, there’s plenty of room for personalized guidance and hands-on instruction. Lunch is included, and you’ll have plenty of time to practice, taste, and explore.
