Who are these modules for?

These online barista modules are intended for home baristas who want to brew better espresso at home with more control over coffee beans, taste, extraction, and maintenance.

Do I need a specific espresso machine?

No, you don't need a specific brand or type of espresso machine. The modules are designed for people who make espresso at home and want to better understand how coffee, grind, freshness, and extraction work together. Whether you work with a simple home espresso machine or a more extensive semi-automatic one: the explanations will help you get more out of your own setup. Especially the module The 3 Golden Rules of Espresso is very relevant here.

Are these physical products?

No, these are digital coffee modules. Each module consists of an online lesson with a video and PDF, allowing you to watch the explanation immediately and easily refer back to it later. You will not receive a physical product by post.

Do I get instant access?

Can I buy modules separately?

Would you prefer to logically combine several topics?

This allows you to quickly gain new knowledge without lengthy course blocks, and at the same time review or reread at your own convenience.
