Course content: This course format allows you to experience a barista course comfortably from home. The idea behind this online course is to provide participants with helpful tips about coffee to improve their espresso brewing at home. The videos can be re-watched at any time as needed, allowing for targeted continued learning.

Who is this course suitable for? For people who want to independently and specifically gain more knowledge about coffee online. (However, for discussions on coffee sensory analysis, nothing beats an in-person course at our coffee academy.)

Good espresso and cappuccino should no longer be a matter of chance! That was our goal when designing the Home Barista Online Course.

  • 30 video units recorded in our academy in Basel.
  • A total of more than 2.5 hours of video material.
  • Additional materials in the form of slides and texts as supplementary and in-depth material.
  • Applicable to various espresso machines for home users.
  • Permanent access to the videos, materials, and community area via our course platform - in the browser or in the app.
  • for further information, we recommend you watch the video below briefly

After purchase, you will receive all information by email on how to activate your access in Tevello. There you will find the course, all materials, and the community area bundled in one place.

Why do we have the Home Barista Online Course and our community?

Our in-person Home Barista courses in Dinslaken and Basel are a highlight for many. You come with your own espresso machines or use one of ours, and we fine-tune the devices together to get the most out of them.

We have incorporated the experiences from these many years of course practice into the Home Barista Online Course. You get many short, concise lessons that guide you step-by-step through the most important topics so that you can safely operate your espresso machine in everyday life.

You can access the course at any time - in the browser or on the go with the Tevello app. You have permanent access to all video units and documents and can continue exactly where you left off.

Additionally, there is a community area for the course: There you can ask questions, exchange ideas with other course participants, and share experiences about espresso, grinders, and machines.
