Coffee Drinks and Proportions – Build Cappuccino and Latte the Way They Were Meant to Be

Yes. This bonus module is specifically designed for home baristas who already know how to make espresso and want to learn how to create classic coffee drinks with it. The explanation is practical and directly applicable to almost any espresso machine.

In this module, you'll learn how classic coffee drinks are created from espresso. You'll receive clear references for proportions, milk texture, and pouring order, so you can reproducibly brew cappuccinos, lattes, Americanos, and other beverages on your own espresso machine.

The video is about 7 to 8 minutes long. It gives you a clear overview of the most important coffee beverages and their ratios.

This module is currently available exclusively as a review bonus within the Espresso Under Control series.

After access you will receive:

• the video module
• a summary PDF with the most important ratios
  

This allows you to quickly look back at the correct composition while making coffee drinks.

The difference lies primarily in the proportions, amount of milk, and foam texture . Every drink begins with espresso, but the amount of milk and microfoam ultimately determines the drink's character. You'll learn the proportions of these and other drinks in module 10.

Because espresso is just the starting point. Most coffee drinks are built around that espresso. Once you understand the classic proportions, you can prepare all traditional coffee drinks correctly and consistently with a single espresso machine.

When you write a review of a purchased module, you'll receive FREE access to Module 10 – Coffee Drinks & Ratios as a bonus. The product page explains how to submit your review and how to gain access.

Yes. The modules from Espresso Under Control are also available as a bundle . This is useful if you want to follow the complete series and understand all the steps from coffee selection to extraction.

Espresso Onder Controle isn't a general hospitality training program or a certification program. It's a practical, digital training for home baristas who want to brew better espresso on their own semi-automatic espresso machine.

The modules consist of focused video lessons and summary PDFs that you can follow independently. You choose the topics that best address your needs: bean selection, roasting, extraction, maintenance, or beverage composition. You don't have to complete a full course, but you can work with it like a toolbox.

The content is based on practical experience from home workshops and corporate training sessions, and is applicable to virtually any home piston machine — from Sage and Ascaso to ECM, Rocket or La Marzocco Mini.

If you work with a fully automatic coffee machine such as Jura or a fully automatic De'Longhi, some principles are useful, but the system is primarily developed for machines where you have control over grinding, dosage and extraction time.

The goal isn't a diploma. The goal is control over your espresso.

Choose the modules that best suit your needs or work step by step to gain more control over flavor, extraction, and bean selection. All modules can be completed individually and are directly applicable to your own espresso machine.

Yes.

In addition to these online modules, I also offer private barista workshops at home on your espresso machine , where we look at your espresso machine, coffee grinder, and coffee beans together.

During such a workshop, you will learn step by step how to fine-tune your espresso and which choices influence taste and extraction.

Many home baristas use the modules as a foundation of knowledge and then opt for a workshop to personally optimize their setup.
