Sage Barista Pro workshop at home on your own machine

During this private Sage Barista Pro home workshop, you will learn to work with the machine and integrated coffee grinder that you use every day. Geert-Jan will work with you to examine your coffee beans, grind size - how fine or coarse the coffee is ground - dosage, amount of espresso in the cup, extraction time, and taste. This teaches you not only which setting works at that moment, but also how to determine what to adjust yourself later on.

Depending on the chosen workshop variant, coffee beans and cleaning, espresso extraction and grinder adjustment, milk frothing, and basic latte art can be covered.Barista Focuslasts approximately 90 minutes, and Barista Masterapproximately 120 minutes. The workshop is suitable for one to five private participants. After your request, you will receive a personalized total price and available times.

Your Sage Barista Pro can do a lot, but which setting should you adjust?

Perhaps your espresso tastes good one day and sour, bitter, or watery the next. You adjust the grind setting, dosing time, or water volume, but then don't know which adjustment actually made a difference. During the workshop, you will learn to assess these signals step by step.

  • Your espresso runs too fast or barely at all

    You learn to observe the amount of ground coffee, how fine or coarse the grind setting is, how much espresso ends up in the cup, and how long that takes. This tells you which setting needs attention first.

  • The same settings do not always yield the same taste

    New or aging coffee beans can react differently. You will learn to measure, taste, and change only one setting at a time, so you understand what influences the result.

  • Milk gets too airy or remains difficult to pour

    You'll learn when to add air, how to swirl the milk, and how to prevent large bubbles. After that, you'll practice the basic technique for cappuccino and simple latte art.

For private Sage Barista Pro users who are just starting with the machine or have been struggling for a while with inconsistent espresso, the integrated coffee grinder, bean selection, milk frothing, cleaning, or an unclear daily routine.

A good attitude is only valuable when you understand why it works

The Sage Barista Pro gives you control over the integrated coffee grinder, dosing, and espresso volume. This is useful, but it also means that multiple settings together determine the outcome. If you change everything at once, you won't know afterwards why an espresso tastes better or worse.

During the workshop, you will therefore build up a fixed working method. You will check how much ground coffee you use, how much espresso ends up in the cup, and how long that takes. Then you taste and adjust one component. This way, you learn to correct sour, bitter, thin, or inconsistent espresso more effectively.

This method remains useful when you later buy other coffee beans or notice that the same beans react differently over time. So you don't just memorize one recipe, but learn how to arrive at an appropriate setting again.

You don't just learn what to set, but how to determine the next logical adjustment yourself.

The three components of your Sage Barista Pro workshop

With Barista Focusyou choose a maximum of two main modules. Barista Mastercombines all three modules into one complete home barista journey.

Request your total price and availability

1. Choosing coffee beans and properly maintaining your machine

You discuss which coffee beans suit your taste and the drinks you usually make. This includes origin, Arabica and Robusta, light, medium, and dark roasts, roast date, freshness, and storage. You also evaluate the beans you use yourself. Cleaning and maintenance are covered in this section, including daily cleaning, cleaning the brew group and portafilter, maintaining the integrated coffee grinder, and keeping the steam wand clean. The goal is for bean selection and maintenance to no longer be separate considerations, but to become part of a regular coffee routine.

2. Making espresso and adjusting the integrated coffee grinder

You will get hands-on experience with the amount of ground coffee, the amount of espresso in the cup, and the time it takes for the water to pass through the coffee. You will learn how to adjust the grinder to a finer or coarser setting and why even a small change can affect taste and flow. You will brew multiple espressos, measure the results, and taste the differences. If the espresso tastes sour, bitter, thin, or different every time, you will learn the probable cause and which setting to adjust first. This way, you will develop a method that you can later replicate yourself.

3. Frothing milk and basic latte art

What to do at step 3?

What you can improve yourself after the workshop

You continue working on exactly the same machine

You don't need to translate the instructions for a training machine to your own kitchen. The settings and points of attention are linked to your Sage Barista Pro, coffee beans, and daily routine.

What you can improve yourself after the workshop

You can correct taste problems more precisely

You will learn how grind, coffee quantity, espresso yield, and extraction time are related. As a result, you will no longer arbitrarily change multiple settings at once.

Can Geert-Jan also repair my Sage Barista Pro?

No. The workshop is a training and not a repair service. The Sage Barista Pro and integrated coffee grinder must be functional. Minor adjustments and operational problems can be investigated, but technical repairs are beyond the scope of the workshop. If the equipment is found to be defective upon arrival or different from what was previously reported, the workshop will be adjusted where possible. The reserved time will continue, and the agreed price will remain valid.

Personalized help with adjusting your Sage Barista Pro

A Sage Barista Pro combines a semi-automatic espresso machine with an integrated coffee grinder. This allows for a lot of customisation, but also requires an understanding of how the amount of ground coffee, grind setting, espresso volume, and extraction time influence each other. A good result is not achieved by simply adopting one universal grind setting or dosing time. Coffee beans change, tastes differ, and every daily routine involves small variations.

During the workshop, you will therefore learn a method that allows you to assess what is happening yourself. You will measure, taste, and change one element at a time. This will give you more control over espresso that extracts too quickly, tastes sour or bitter, or comes out differently every time.

For all general terms and conditions, workshop variants, and service area, please see the central page about the private home barista workshop. If you have a different Sage model or would like to compare different forms of guidance first, please see the personal Sage espresso support and training.

If you would like to familiarise yourself with the method behind measuring and targeted adjustments independently first, start with the free introduction to Espresso Under Control. If you want immediate personal guidance on your own Sage Barista Pro, request your total price and available times.
