The Home Barista Skills workshop is designed to equip you with the theory, practical skills and confidence to make cafe quality and beyond espresso-based drinks at home
Class Duration - 3hrs
This workshop is tailored to individuals' needs but generally speaking, we will cover the following:
- Get to know your espresso machine & grinder
- Learning about what physically is happening during coffee extraction with tasting exercise
- Measuring and maintaining brewing variables (dose, yield, time, temp, grind size etc.) and how they all can affect extraction
- Using those variables to create a recipe and dial our coffee in to taste. We will source a speciality coffee local to you
- Techniques involved in preparing consistent espresso. (Dosing, distribution, tamping, workflow)
- Get to know the best home coffee accessories for you
- Steaming milk & if requested alt milk for silky smooth microfoam
- Three pillars of latte art and how to pour a basic design
- Machine cleaning and maintenance
I'll also touch on some knowledge to do with green coffee origins, processing & roasting science. Although not super relevant to making coffee at home it's good to get familiar with it and improve your coffee game all around!
Not only that! But Afterwards, you'll receive a full recap of what we covered alongside my fully comprehensive barista bible. I'll always be around to answer more questions afterwards as well!
Online versions of the class will take place over Zoom. I'll reach out after purchase to schedule a session and send across any preparation questions. Online sessions will require you to be able to provide a video on your end so I can help you through the coffee-making process and offer guidance and feedback after observing your workflow. From my end, there will be a slideshow presentation which you can also keep afterwards.

A great afternoon spent learning new coffee skills at home. Adam was really knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic and he gave us more confidence in how to make a great espresso. The training was focussed on the machine we have at home and Adam also covered ‘dialing in’, single dosing’ and yielding the perfect amount of tasty espresso. We even tried out some latte art and ge gave us some great tips to help us improve.
Adam answered all our questions, including those we didn’t know we wanted answers to.
He brought all his own equipment including the very tasty Parrallel coffee beans!
I would definitely recommend his at home workshop!
Adam's workshop was brilliant! He takes his time to explain all the concepts and really knows his stuff. His experience and love for what he does shines through and you can't help but get excited! Would recommend to anyone wanting to know more about how to use their new machine and just generally about the process of making a great coffee!
Adam delivered a fantastic Barista Skills workshop at our shop. Even with an experienced team, we all learned something new and had a great time doing it. It was engaging, informative, and a brilliant team-building session. Highly recommended.
Adam brings a relaxed and enthusiastic approach to a fun and addictive hobby. I had a great time further developing my coffee knowledge, talking all things coffee and found it very beneficial to be able to ask an expert burning questions regarding taste, yields, aesthetic and the secret to latte art! I’d definitely recommend Adam’s workshop to anyone begging their journey into the world of espresso or for those making the upgrade to espresso capable equipment.
I got in touch with Adam through instagram after hitting a few problems with the dial in process. He gave me so much help just through messages, but after running into a few more issues I decided to book the class to gain more confidence. Adam answered all my questions and explained everything to me perfectly. I gained a deeper understanding of my machine, the dial in process and ways to be more consistent. With Adam's knowledge and chilled attitude, it was the perfect environment to learn in. To describe the experience in one photo:
