Home Barista Courses
Find out how to brew like an expert barista, how to make coffee that tastes the absolute best it can, and then take those skills back to your family and friends to spread the love.
Master the skill of brewing exceptional quality coffee at home through our expert-led barista courses. Whether you're eager to learn the fundamentals of espresso making or impress your family and friends with incredible latte art, we have the perfect class for you. Our hands-on Home Barista Courses are ideal for coffee enthusiasts of all levels.
Making great coffee can be intimidating. The water and the milk need to be the right temperature, the beans ground the right way, the cup tilted on the perfect angle. But our aim is to remove that complexity and show you that coffee making is an art form that absolutely anyone can enjoy. And the classes aren’t just about brewing a good cup; they’re a deep dive into the whole world of coffee, from origin to cup.
Which class should you choose?
