You have a good machine, but the coffee isn't turning out the way you want yet.

Many home baristas will recognize this: you have a beautiful espresso machine, you buy good beans, but sometimes your espresso tastes sour, other times bitter or watery.

  • ☕

    Often, it's not due to a single component, but rather the combination of beans, freshness, grind, dosage, extraction time, and technique.

  • ☕

    Frothing milk also seems simple, until you realize the milk becomes too thick, too thin, too hot, or difficult to pour.

  • ☕

    During this training, you will not only learn what to do, but especially why certain steps influence your coffee.

What is a private barista training in Amsterdam?

A private barista training in Amsterdam is a closed 2-hour training for yourself or your own group. You will learn to better understand espresso, froth milk, and apply basic latte art in a professional training room at Maasstraat 84.

For those for whom this is logical

For home baristas, couples, friends, small private groups, gift experiences, and people who have just bought or are considering a semi-automatic espresso machine.

Key details

The training is for 1 to a maximum of 5 people. You will practice with professional equipment, fresh coffee beans, milk, milk pitchers, tampers, and barista accessories. Everything you need for effective practice is included.

Why personal guidance works faster

You can find many coffee tips online, but at home the question often remains: what exactly am I doing wrong? During a private training session, Geert-Jan observes your technique, your tasting method, and your understanding of espresso and milk. This ensures you receive explanations that are directly tailored to your level and learning objective.

You won't leave with just a few tricks, but with a clearer understanding of coffee beans, extraction, milk texture, and the steps you can replicate at home.

The private barista training route

The training has a fixed, practical structure, but no strict minute-by-minute timetable. Sometimes the emphasis is a little more on theory, sometimes on espresso, frothing milk or latte art. We tailor this to your questions and experience.

1. Understanding what influences taste

We'll start with coffee beans, freshness, roasting, packaging, and flavour profiles. You'll learn what to look for when buying coffee beans and why old or poorly chosen beans often lead to disappointing espresso.

2. Espresso Extraction and Grinder Adjustment

Afterward, we will get hands-on with espresso. You will learn how dosage, grind, extraction time, recipe, and taste are interconnected. We will work with measuring, tasting, and adjusting, so you have to guess less.

3. Froth milk and make microfoam
