This private, in-home barista workshop will teach you step-by-step how to get the most out of your Barista Express.

Why this workshop?

The Sage Barista Express is an all-in-one machine with an integrated conical bean grinder, 54mm portafilter, and a combination of fully automatic and manual functions that give you control from bean to cup.
In practice, it turns out that many users know the machine is powerful, but struggle with how to use it consistently: the correct grind size, dose, tamping, extraction time, and milk texture. This workshop bridges that gap—in your own kitchen, on your machine.
Trainer Geertjandebaristaman brings with him ten years of experience in specialty coffee and knows exactly what home baristas face.

What do you learn?

The session lasts approximately 2 hours , at your home, on your machine. The content is tailored to your starting level and your specific machine settings.

Theory

• Which flavor profile comes from which region, and how does that influence your bean choice?
• What does roasting, freshness, and grind size do to flavor and extraction?
• How does the Barista Express's integrated grinder work (grind settings, dose, static buildup)?
• Why is extraction temperature and pressure so important for a good espresso?

Practice (on your machine)

• Step by step: how to set the grinder, dose, tamp and start the extraction.
• What if the espresso brews too quickly or too slowly? Which parameters can you adjust (grind size, dose, extraction time)?
• Frothing milk: How do you get microfoam without large bubbles? How do you learn the correct pouring technique for cappuccino or latte art?
• Maintenance & Care: How do you keep your machine and grinder clean so you can consistently produce quality?

Who is this workshop for?

• For you if you have a Sage Barista Express at home or have just purchased one and really want to learn how to get the most out of it.
