Course Description

We dive deep into coffee from the beginning. This is absolutely not a beginner's course, but rather designed for the home barista who already has some experience and knowledge in the field of grinder adjustment and extraction.

What temperature does which coffee need, how much coffee to how much water and all of this in what extraction time? These are exactly the topics we'll cover completely and work through. Each participant will work out the perfect brewing recipe for a variety of coffees.

Together we bring out the best in every coffee.

The sensory aspects of coffee are also not neglected. A wide variety of qualities will be tasted to understand what makes high-quality coffee. We also take a look at different processing methods such as semi-washed, anaerobic fermentation and honey. Both in theory and in practice.

Of course, latte art is also covered. We work on the perfect milk foam and try not only to pour hearts, but also create tulips and other patterns.

You can also bring your own machine to this course. We would actually recommend this for this course so you can directly apply your new knowledge with your own equipment.

Important Information: of course we will check the offset setting (temperature setting) of your portafilter machine with you in this course and adjust it if possible.

What prior knowledge do I need for Home Barista Level 2?

The course is aimed at the ambitious home barista who wants to get the best out of every coffee. Prior knowledge from a Home Barista course and an understanding of brewing recipes are mandatory.
