Ik kreeg deze latte-artcursus als cadeau. Na maanden zelf oefenen had ik wel vooruitgang geboekt, maar ik miste nog steeds consistentie en een paar belangrijke basisprincipes.
GeertJan was enorm vriendelijk en deskundig. Hij keek eerst naar mijn melk-steamingtechniek en gaf meteen een gouden tip: lucht toevoegen terwijl de melk nog koud is, en daarna de stoomlans dieper plaatsen om op te warmen. Daardoor verdwijnen de grote bellen wél wanneer je de kan op het aanrecht tikt.
Daarna bekeken we mijn schenktechniek, waar ik veel meer te leren had. We begonnen met een simpele hartvorm en bouwden daarop verder. Tijdens de les maakte ik veel cappuccino’s, waardoor de principes eindelijk duidelijk voor me werden. De sessie was ontzettend leerzaam én gezellig — veel gelachen en fijn contact.
Ik moest wel een paar oude gewoontes afleren, en dat kost tijd. Maar na een paar maanden oefenen (alleen ’s ochtends, dus geen honderden per dag!) zijn de resultaten veel consistenter, zowel met soja- als havermelk. Ik maak nu niet alleen mooie harten, maar ook bloemen en meerlaagse vormen. Zodra de basis weer klopte, ging de vooruitgang veel sneller.
Kortom: deze cursus is een uitstekende investering om je fundament te verbeteren en je latte-artskills snel naar een hoger niveau te tillen. Aanrader!

I received this latte art course as a gift, after months of trying to improve the art in our morning coffees and chai lattes. I’d made some progress on my own, but I was still inconsistent and felt I was missing some core principles.
GeertJan was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. After I explained my situation, he first checked my milk-steaming technique — which, thanks to practice, was already decent — but he immediately gave me one invaluable tip: start introducing air while the milk is still cold, then lower the steam wand to finish heating. This simple correction makes a huge difference; if you add air once the milk is warmer than body temperature, the bubbles are tougher and won’t pop when you knock the jug.
After that, we focused on my pouring technique, where I had a lot more room to grow. We started with a basic heart and then moved on. I made a lot of coffees during the lesson, and the principles finally “clicked” in my mind. The session was incredibly helpful and gave me a framework to evaluate my results and know exactly how to adjust. On top of that, I had a lovely chat with GeertJan — lots of laughs and a great atmosphere.
One thing worth mentioning: I had to unlearn some old habits. Like when Tiger Woods rebuilt his golf swing, it takes time to replace ingrained patterns — especially when you’re only practicing once a day at home. It took me a couple of months to fully adjust, but the results are absolutely worth it. My latte art is now much more consistent with both soy and oat milk, and I’ve moved beyond simple hearts to flowers, layered designs, and more. Once the basics were properly reset, progress became much faster.
Overall, this course is an excellent investment if you want to refine your fundamental techniques and accelerate your latte art skills. I highly recommend it.
De siroop smaakt heerlijk, ik gebruik hem bij het maken van matcha :)
Veel geleerd over onze eigen koffiemachine in korte tijd, door veel zelf uit te proberen en te kijken waar aanpassingen nodig zijn. Uiteindelijk kwam er zowaar een lekkere koffie uit! Dank voor de leuke workshop!
Super leuke workshop, leerzaam en waardevolle tips gekregen. Wij kunnen thuis aan de slag!
Heel inhoudelijke workhop met een late-art praktijkelement. Super!!
Rustige uitleg, aanstekelijke feitjes en goede vakkennis bij ingebrachte vragen! Top!
Geweldige en gezellige Barista workshop gehad aan huis. Geert-Jan legt alles heel goed en duidelijk uit, waardoor je na 2 uurtjes alle kennis hebt om je eigen Barista koffies te maken. Ook heel leuk om cadeau te geven aan een koffie liefhebber. Kortom, super goede investering wat mij betreft!
interessante workshop, nuttige informatie en gelijk in de praktijk kunnen toepassen!
It was a great class! Every step of the coffee-making process (from choosing the beans to creating latte art) was explained in detail. We then practiced both espresso making and latte art. The instructor was extremely helpful and informative at every stage. I’m definitely going home with lots of useful knowledge, and I’d highly recommend it!
Ik heb een hele fijne en duidelijke cursus gekregen van Geert-Jan. Geert-Jan vertelt sowieso met heel veel passie en enthousiasme! Gestart met wat interessante informatie over koffie, die je echt helpt met het zetten van je eigen koffie. Alle tips en tricks voor bij de Sage machine waren ook heel handig en fijn! Ik kan nu heel fijn mijn eigen koffie maken! Veel dank!
Geweldige uitleg, duidelijk een expert van het vak. We gaan aan de slag met alle essentiële info voor de juiste cappuccino!
