Home Barista Workshop

Become your own barista in this barista class in San Marcos! Our mission is to help coffee enthusiasts, like you, learn how to develop skills to become a coffee connoisseur. Every workshop is unique and comes with personalized brewing assistance and Q&A. Nobody should experience the struggle of making a great cup of coffee as you experienced it in a shop. In this workshop, you will learn everything from how to froth milk to how to make espresso at home.

We will first introduce the principles behind espresso-making: ratios, grind, maintenance, brew time, and temperature. We will taste three different doses and three different grind sizes to illustrate the theory behind them. Next, you'll learn how to dial in. Your instructor will introduce you to a basic and simple dial-in protocol to tweak your shot based on the taste, shot time, and yield.

The second part of the workshop is about milk steaming, frothing, grooming, and pouring. This will include proper pitcher selection, milk, and plant-based alternatives, steaming, frothing, and grooming techniques, and finally, you will learn simple latte art.

​Last but not least, we will combine the knowledge you just gained to make the perfect cup, whether you like single espressos, cappuccinos, or anything in between. Soon you'll have the recipes all of your favorite coffee drinks!

Bonus: you'll get a free bag and some goodies!
