Frequently Asked Questions

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. They are suitable for beginners, as well as for coffee lovers who have been making espresso for a while but find their results too inconsistent. Do you want to get acquainted first? Then start with the free introductory module: Start with Espresso Under Control.

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.

Can I buy modules separately?

Yes, you can buy all modules separately. This way you can choose exactly the topic that suits your needs, such as coffee beans, freshness, roasting, extraction, or maintenance. Would you prefer to logically combine several topics?

How long does a module usually take?

A module is deliberately compact and practically structured. On average, a module consists of approximately 10 minutes of video, supplemented by a clear PDF summary. This allows you to quickly gain new knowledge without lengthy course blocks, and at the same time review or reread at your own convenience.
