Super geslaagde workshop thuis

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!

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!

Hele leuke en fijne barista training!

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!

Ver uit de lekkerste siroop!

Na even zoeken eindelijk de siroop gevonden waar ik in Mexico zo dol op was! De natuurlijke smaak en heerlijk in zowel warme als ijskoffie! Dit is voor mij de lekkerste en beste siroop om te gebruiken.

Barista cursus aan huis!!

hoi Gertjan als eerst wil ik he bedanken dat je me verslaaft heb gemaakt, nu ben ik niet echt verslavings gevoelig alleen dit is wel z’n gave en vooral lekkere verslaving dat ik het niet nodig vindt om een kliniek op te zoeken. Na contact te hebben gehad was de afspraak al snel gemaak, dat ging heel makkelijk. Lekker korte lijntjes daar hou ik van. Bij binnen komst nam je geen eens de moeite om een kopje koffie te drinken, nou ik kan je vertellen dat ik het zelfde gedaan zou hebben, na even geklets te hebben aan de slag. Eerst afstemmen van de molen en daarna veel proberen, qua doorlooptijd en maling. Na een 5 tal keer geprobeerd te hebben kam er godzijdank de eerst super de luxe eerste shot van het goddelijke godendrank uit de piston lopen en wow wat een wereld van verschil de tips die je gaf bij het instellen van de molen en extractie tijd zijn helder en leerzaam na 1,5 uur slurpen en proeven zat het in mijn systeem en ik nog uitleg gehad over melk opschuimen na twee uur zat het er helaas op je bent een leuke vent en weet het boeiend over te brengen. Bedankt voor alle tips and tricks, Pascal

When do you choose a telephone coffee consultation?

A telephone coffee consultation is ideal for anyone who wants quick, personal and practical help with a coffee question. Whether you make coffee at home and don't understand why your espresso tastes bitter, or are unsure about grinder settings in your catering business: sometimes you just need someone to think along with you. No online forums, no endless YouTube videos - but 1-on-1 help from an experienced barista who will get you started right away.

A remote barista support call is particularly suitable for situations in which you encounter something that you cannot solve yourself. Think of problems with espresso extraction, adjusting your coffee grinder, doubts about which beans are suitable for your machine, or questions about workflow and maintenance. An independent consultation call is also ideal if you want to buy a new coffee machine or bean grinder, but do not feel like a sales pitch.

What makes this type of remote assistance so effective is its direct applicability. You don't have to understand theory or filter what applies to your situation yourself. You speak directly with a specialist — Geertjandebaristaman — who understands your level and equipment. This way you get to the core of your problem faster and you get advice that really suits your situation.

The consultation lasts 30 minutes and takes place over the phone. During the consultation, you can ask anything: from basic questions to technical details. You don't have to be a barista — the consultation is always tailored to your knowledge and goal. Afterwards, you will receive a short and concise advice report by email, so that you know exactly what you can do to improve your coffee immediately.

For home baristas, coffee lovers, beginners and hospitality starters, this is an accessible way to get professional guidance, without having to leave the house. So do you want to make better coffee, avoid a bad purchase or just be sure that you are on the right track? Then a telephone barista consultation is the solution.
