THIS IS YOUR GIFT
What can you buy with this gift voucher?
You are purchasing a digital credit of €50 to €300 as a contribution to a private at-home barista workshop. The recipient will later use this credit when paying the individually calculated workshop price.
The workshop takes place using their own espresso machine and coffee grinder. The workshop content will be tailored to the recipient's equipment, experience, and learning goals. After the request, the recipient chooses between Barista Focus and Barista Master and receives the personalized price and available dates.

A PERSONAL COFFEE EXPERIENCE
What gift does this gift voucher give?
You're not gifting a standard demonstration, but rather personalized barista coaching at the recipient's home. During the workshop, the recipient will practice on their own espresso machine and coffee grinder. This ensures that the explanation directly relates to the equipment they use every day.
Geert-Jan reviews the settings, technique, and taste in the cup. The workshop is tailored to the recipient's experience, questions, and learning objectives. This includes making espresso, adjusting the coffee grinder, frothing milk, latte art, choosing coffee beans, and cleaning and maintaining the equipment.
The recipient will later choose between Barista Focus and Barista Master. This allows them to decide which components are most important and how much time is needed to get hands-on with them.
• Practice on your own espresso machine and coffee grinder

SPENDING THE CREDIT
What can you use the gift voucher for?
What can the gift voucher be used for?
The gift voucher is primarily intended as a contribution to a private at-home barista workshop. The recipient uses the code when paying the personally calculated workshop price.
Any remaining balance can also be used later for products paid directly through the checkout of De Barista Shop. For example:
• personalized coffee mugs
• coffee syrup
• clothing and other products from De Barista Shop
• Aficionado coffee beans, available for pick-up by appointment only in Leidsche Rijn
The available credit will be automatically deducted from the order total during checkout.
What can the gift voucher not be used for?

This applies, among other things, to barista tools and cleaning products that are not paid for directly via the De Barista Shop checkout. The gift voucher code can only be entered for an order completed within De Barista Shop.
Can the gift voucher balance be used in increments?
Yes. The full value does not have to be spent in a single order. If there is still credit remaining after the workshop or another purchase, this balance remains linked to the same gift voucher code.
The recipient can reuse the same code later for a subsequent eligible order in De Barista Shop.
FREE UPON REQUEST
Would you prefer to hand over something tangible?
After purchase, you can request a free personalized A4 gift voucher. You will receive the PDF by email and can print it yourself at home to hand over in person.

BARISTA WORKSHOP GIFT
Give a private at-home barista workshop as a gift
Are you looking for a personal gift for someone who wants to make better espresso, cappuccino, or latte art? With this digital gift voucher, you give credit for a private barista workshop at the recipient's home. The workshop is given on their own espresso machine and coffee grinder, so the explanations directly relate to the equipment used daily.
The recipient later chooses between Barista Focus of approximately 90 minutes and Barista Master of approximately 120 minutes. Depending on the chosen workshop, topics such as coffee beans and freshness, espresso extraction, adjusting the coffee grinder, frothing milk, latte art, and cleaning and maintaining the equipment will be covered. Geert-Jan de Baristaman tailors the explanations to the recipient's experience, taste preferences, and main learning goals.
The gift voucher is available with a value of €50, €100, €150, €200, €250, or €300. This amount is a contribution to the workshop price. The final price is calculated personally based on the chosen workshop duration and location. This way, the recipient knows before booking what the package price is and what amount, if any, still needs to be paid after using the gift voucher.
The digital gift voucher is sent with a personal message by email on the chosen date and is valid for two years. The private barista workshop is primarily provided in the Randstad and Central Netherlands. Other locations in the Netherlands are possible in consultation.
