ABOUT THIS CLASS
Who this class is for
Our two and a half-hour espresso class is suitable for all beginners – whether you’re just starting out and want to learn the basics of how to make espresso, or you’ve been making espresso drinks for a while and want to refine your skills.
This class is also popular with people who are curious about making specialty coffee at home. You will learn more about why certain coffees taste the way they do as an espresso.
What you’ll learn
In this fun and hands-on class, we’ll show you how we make espresso in our shops, and teach you some tricks that will help you make beautiful espresso-based beverages at home. We’ll taste different extractions side by side and show you how to tweak your espresso recipes to get the most out of your beans and home equipment. This class covers the journey of the coffee beans from harvest to roaster to cup, how to assess extraction and describe the flavours of the brew.
What to expect on the day
Our espresso class has a maximum of six participants.
You will be able to ask all your espresso-related questions, making and tasting coffee throughout the session and take home a little gift from the roastery to start your specialty coffee journey at home.
