Why did we create the Home Barista Online Course and our community?

Our in-person Home Barista courses in Dinslaken and Basel are a highlight for many. You bring your own espresso machine or use one of ours, and together, we fine-tune the settings to get the absolute most out of your equipment.

We have incorporated the experience from our many years of teaching into the Home Barista Online Course. You get many short, concise lessons that guide you step-by-step through the most important topics so you can confidently operate your espresso machine in your daily routine.

You can use the course anytime – in your browser or on the go with the Tevello app. You have permanent access to all video units and materials and can pick up exactly where you left off.

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