Barista workshop at home โ€“ for your La Marzocco espresso machine

Barista workshop at home at La Marzocco | Private coffee training


Discover how to achieve coffee bar-quality results with your La Marzocco espresso machine at homeโ€”without the hassle and guesswork. In this private, in-home barista workshop, you'll learn step-by-step how to get the most out of your La Marzocco espresso machine: the right grind, proper extraction, perfect milk texture, and how to brew consistent espressos. The training takes place at your home, on your own machine. No generic lessonsโ€”but 100% tailored to your specific needs.


Why this workshop?

The La Marzocco espresso machine is fast, powerful, and modern โ€”but only when properly configured and used will it truly reach its full potential. The La Marzocco espresso machine offers a wealth of potential.
Many home baristas struggle to consistently achieve a good extraction or froth milk without bubbles. This workshop will help you avoid these pitfalls.


What do you learn?

We use a clear structure where theory and practice go hand in hand โ€” fully tailored to your La Marzocco espresso machine and your level.

Theory

  • Where does coffee come from? Which flavor profiles correspond to which countries?
  • How does branding affect taste?
  • How do you choose beans that really suit your taste preferences?
  • What do factors like grind, temperature, and extraction time mean for your espresso?

Practice (on your machine)

  • How to make a good espresso on your La Marzocco espresso machine โ€” from dosing, tamping, pre-infusion to extraction.
  • What to do if the espresso doesn't come out of the La Marzocco machine properly: too fast/too slow, too blond/too dark?
  • Which parameters can you adjust immediately (grinding degree, dosing time, temperature) to gain consistency?
  • How to froth milk for a cappuccino or latte without big bubbles โ€” and how to learn to pour latte art?
  • How do you clean your own La Marzocco machine, maintain it easily, and get the most out of your equipment?


Who is this workshop for?

  • For you if you have a La Marzocco espresso machine at home or are planning to buy one and really want to learn how to use it.
  • For the experienced home barista who wants to make the leap from โ€œso-soโ€ espresso to โ€œwow, thatโ€™s good.โ€
  • For the coffee lover who wants to learn how to make latte art, for example โ€” or simply make better cappuccinos for friends and family.
  • For the home-based hospitality entrepreneur who wants to hone his barista skills on his own La Marzocco machine.


Why at home?

  • You'll learn on your La Marzocco espresso machine โ€” so it's directly relevant to your machine, your beans, and your kitchen.
  • No โ€œone-size-fits-allโ€ lessons: the training is tailored to your level and questions.
  • Personal guidance from a barista/professional: you'll receive immediate feedback and tips that you can apply tomorrow .
  • Comfort of your own environment: you don't have to travel, and you work with your own device and tools โ€” this prevents confusion or incorrect transfer later.


Why Geertjandebaristaman?

With years of practical experience, trainer Geertjandebaristaman knows his way around every espresso machine and situationโ€”including your La Marzocco. He tailors the workshop entirely to your questions, skill level, and preferences. From the right grind size to latte artโ€”you're the center of attention.
This way your kitchen becomes your own barista lab.

Do I need to have experience with espresso machines?
No โ€” the training is suitable for both beginners and experienced users who want to delve deeper. We tailor the approach to your level.

Which beans should I use?
During the theory session, we'll discuss which beans suit your taste (e.g. fruity, chocolate, nutty) and how to adjust your grind and extraction accordingly.

Will my beans/grind be used?
Yes. We use your beans and your La Marzocco. This means you learn directly on your trusted device.

How long does the workshop last?
The standard duration is approximately 2 hours, depending on your questions and desired depth.

How much does the workshop cost?
