Bought a coffee machine but still can't make the coffee you expected?
Our at home coffee training brings a professional barista trainer directly to your kitchen. We teach you how to use your own coffee machine, grinder, coffee beans and equipment, so you can make better coffee at home with the setup you already have.
Many people invest in a home espresso machine and grinder but never receive practical training on how to get the best results from them. Our private home barista training is designed to bridge that gap.
Rather than learning on a commercial café machine and then going home to figure out your own equipment, you learn directly on your own machine.
Learn How to Make Better Coffee at Home
This practical 1–2 hour coffee machine training session is suitable for beginners, home coffee lovers and anyone who wants to improve their espresso-making skills.
We will work with your equipment and show you how small adjustments can make a significant difference to the coffee in your cup.
During your home coffee training, you will learn:
  • How to set up and use your home coffee machine and grinder
  • How to choose the correct grind size
  • How much coffee to use for your espresso
  • How to prepare and extract espresso correctly
  • How to recognise and fix sour coffee
  • How to recognise and fix bitter coffee
  • How to fix weak or watery coffee
  • How to adjust your grinder and extraction
  • How to tamp and prepare your coffee correctly
  • How to steam milk for a flat white, latte and cappuccino
  • How to create smooth, creamy milk
  • How to improve consistency from one coffee to the next
  • How to clean and maintain your coffee machine
  • How to get better results from your home coffee setup
* Coffee Machine Training Using Your Own Equipment *
Every coffee machine and grinder is different.
Your coffee machine, grinder, coffee beans, grind size, dose, extraction time and milk technique all influence the final result.
That is why our coffee machine training is conducted in your home using your own equipment.
We can look at your actual setup, identify what may be affecting your coffee and show you what to change.
You don't need to buy another machine or learn on a professional café setup first. We help you understand the equipment you have already invested in.
No Particular Coffee Brand. No "One Right Way" to Make Coffee.
We don't believe there is only one correct way to enjoy coffee.
Our recommendations are based on your equipment, your coffee, your preferences and the way you like to drink it.
We are not affiliated with or committed to any particular coffee machine, grinder or coffee brand. Our aim is to give you practical, independent advice rather than tell you what you should buy.
If you like a stronger coffee, a smoother coffee, a shorter espresso or a larger milk-based coffee, we will help you understand how to adjust your setup to achieve the result you enjoy.
After all, it's your coffee, your machine and your home.
With more than 20 years of hospitality experience, we bring practical professional knowledge directly to your kitchen and are happy to answer your questions along the way.
