Learn to make coffee together using your own machine

Learning to make coffee together is more fun when you’re both hands-on. During a private barista workshop for two, I’ll come to your home and work with your own semi-automatic espresso machine and coffee grinder. Whether you’re a couple, two friends, or an older parent and adult child, you’ll each practice at your own level.

Two coffee lovers, different experiences

You enjoy drinking coffee together, but one of you usually operates the machine. During this workshop, you will both learn how to assess the grind, dosage, yield, and flavor.

  • Everyone starts at their own level

    Some already know the coffee grinder, while others have just started.

  • Practice together on your own equipment

    Practicing together makes it easier to ask questions and compare results.

  • Espresso and milk each require attention

    Espresso and frothing milk sometimes require a different approach.

How does a private barista workshop for two work?

We start with what you want to learn yourselves. One participant might mainly want to learn how to make espresso, while the other wants to practice more with milk and latte art. We tailor the exercises to the capabilities of your own machine and the chosen duration.

Who is this joint workshop suitable for?

For couples, friends, or two family members who want to learn how to make coffee together at home. Also great as a shared experience, without having to book two separate workshops.

Practical details and conditions

Barista Focus lasts approximately 90 minutes and starts at €179; Master lasts approximately 120 minutes and starts at €219. These starting prices only apply for limited travel distances around Utrecht. For other locations, I will send a no-obligation personal total quote including VAT and travel components in advance. One to five participants pay the same workshop price. One free 350-gram bag of coffee beans per workshop and follow-up care included.

Why practice together on the same machine?

With two people using the same machine, you can help remind each other how the settings work after the workshop. Everyone practices themselves, not just the person who normally makes the coffee.

You practice on your own machine, with attention to everyone's questions.
