Let customers speak for us
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!
Wat een geweldige uitleg en we kunnen zeker vooruit met het maken van een heerlijk kopje koffie . Zelfs een hartje op de cappuccino
What are we going to do?
Whether you have an ECM, Rancilio, QuickMill, Sage, or another espresso machine at home, the foundation of good coffee remains the same: hot water is forced through ground coffee. With the right knowledge of this process, you'll learn to make truly high-quality cappuccinos or black coffee.
Contact us!
Are you enthusiastic, do you want to know more or do you have a question? Feel free to contact us about business or private Barista Workshops.
We will then look together, based on your specific situation or question, which workshop structure suits you best.
Is this workshop suitable if I have just purchased an espresso machine?
Yes, definitely. Especially when you are just starting out, a workshop is valuable. You will learn directly how to use your machine properly, so that you can achieve results faster and make coffee with more confidence. But even if you have had an espresso machine for a while, a training can be surprisingly educational. I regularly meet coffee lovers who have been making coffee for years, but still notice that there is more to get out of their machine. With a few practical tips, your coffee will suddenly taste really good again.
Do I need a separate coffee grinder for this workshop?
Not necessarily. We work with what you already have. Do you have a built-in grinder or a separate one? Fine. Do you make coffee with pre-ground beans? Then we will look at how you can get the most out of it. Do you not have a grinder yet, but are you thinking about buying one? Then I will give you honest and brand-independent advice during the workshop — tailored to your situation and budget.
Will the workshop be tailored to my level and equipment?
Yes, always. Whether you are just starting to make coffee or have been making espresso for years, the workshop is tailored to your needs. We work with your own machine and grinder, at your own pace. No standard story, but advice and explanation that fit your experience, your questions and your coffee goals.
Can I also learn how to froth milk and make basic latte art?
Definitely. During the workshop you will learn how to froth milk with the right temperature and structure — without big bubbles, just as it should be for cappuccinos and latte art. If you are interested, we will also practice pouring and you will get tips for your first heart or rosette.
Do we also discuss choosing the right coffee beans?
Yes. We discuss which flavor profiles exist, which type of beans match them, how to recognize what is on a package and what to look for when buying tasty and fresh beans. Whether you use filter, single origin or a blend — you will receive honest, brand-independent advice that suits your machine and your taste.
How long does the home workshop last?
The workshop lasts an hour and a half. That's enough time to work together on your focus point, whether that's making espresso and adjusting the coffee grinder, frothing milk, or a specific point of interest, without it becoming overwhelming.
Of course, we will tailor the pace and format to your experience and interests — it's your time.
Is the workshop intended for one person or can I participate with someone else?
You can easily follow the workshop together. Whether you come with your partner, colleague or friend — I make sure that everyone actively participates and learns at his or her level. When booking, let me know how many people you are with, then I will adjust the set-up and the quote accordingly.
Will I also receive a summary or advice by email afterwards?
Yes. After the workshop you will receive a short summary with the most important tips and advice that we discussed. This way you can read everything back at home and immediately continue practicing with what you have learned.
Until when can I cancel or reschedule a workshop?
You can reschedule a workshop up to 48 hours in advance free of charge after payment. In case of cancellation within 24 hours, the costs will unfortunately be charged in full. Rescheduling is always possible in consultation - I am happy to think along with you if something comes up.
How does payment for the workshop work?
If you are curious and contact me, you will receive all the information about the workshop, available times and a customized quote. This quote is based on the address where the workshop is given. After approval, you will receive an invoice, which must be credited to the account number stated on the invoice no later than one week before the planned date. As soon as everything has been arranged, I will make sure that I am present at the agreed address on time. Are you unexpectedly ill or does something come up? No worries — we will simply schedule a new date.
Do I need to prepare anything before you come over?
Not much. Make sure your espresso machine, coffee grinder (if you have one) and possibly milk and beans are ready. It would be nice if we could get started right away during the workshop. Do you have specific questions or things you run into? Then you can write them down in advance — then I will definitely take them with me.
