Intro to Espresso Class

Are you a home barista looking for professional-level training? Did you receive an espresso machine as a gift and want to know how to get the most out of it? Maybe you’re a new coffee aficionado looking to understand if purchasing a home machine is right for you.

Join our Beverage Director, John Cappelletti, for an espresso brewing workshop. We’ll begin with a brief lecture on espresso as a brewing method, then move on to workflow review and on-bar training on our state-of-the-art equipment. We’ll work on tasting, dialing and perfecting your espresso at home. We’ll open up for Q&A and conclude with a few gifts for you!

You don’t need to bring anything to this workshop. Tasting discard cups will be provided for those of us with caffeine sensitivity.
