Home Barista Workshop
"Geert-Jan came to my house to teach me and a few friends the ins and outs of latte art. He is skilled, patiently explains everything, and tailors his session to the student's level. And above all, he was great fun to be around. I learned a lot, my latte art is now quite decent, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Absolutely recommended!

Practical explanation
"The at-home workshop was clear and informative. First, a little over an hour of theory, then getting started with your own machine. Pleasant communication. The great thing is that you can still ask questions afterwards, because once you start working on your own later, you'll still have some questions. Definitely recommended to invite to your home!"

Let customers speak for us
from 149 reviewsZeker een aanrader!
Een barista aan huis met duidelijke en professionele uitleg. Hij had veel kennis en kon al mijn vragen goed beantwoorden.
Wat ik vooral waardevol vond, is dat ik nu ook weet welke koffie ik moet kiezen. De theorie was minstens zo belangrijk als het leren werken met mijn eigen apparaat.
Dankzij de heldere uitleg kan ik nu een goede start maken. Ook fijn dat ik meteen de tools die ik nog miste kon aanschaffen.
Ontzettend lekker en makkelijk te gebruiken met de bijpassende pomp
Loved how quick they responded, provided designs and delivered all with 3 working days. The cup looks amazing, and can't wait for the recipient (as it is ordered as a present) to be amazed
De latte art workshop bij Geert-Jan is top! Hij is enthousiast, geduldig en legt alles goed uit. Dankzij hem weet ik nu hoe ik goed en snel melk kan opschuimen en de eerste hartjes zijn gemaakt!
Wij kregen een goede uitleg over de soorten koffiebonen, smaak en meer. Deze specialist wist ons te verbazen met hints en tips over de pas aangekochte Expresso apparaten. De wijze van cappuccino maken (en meer) is tot in de puntjes uitgelegd. Dank daarvoor.
Wij gaan nu nog meer genieten van onze cappuccino!
Wij hebben genoten van de workshop van Geert-Jan. Wij hebben nu vertrouwen erin om heerlijke cappuccino’s te maken!
Niet te duur en altijd op tijd met leveren
De workshop thuis was helder en leerzaam. Eerst een klein uurtje theorie daarna aan de slag met je eigen machine. Prettige communicatie. Het fijne is dat je daarna ook nog wat kan vragen, want als je eenmaal later zelf aan de slag gaat heb je ook nog wel wat vragen. Zeker aan te raden om bij je thuis uit te nodigen!
Zoveel geleerd tijdens de workshop bij een vriendin. Nooit geweten dat je je machine met de 16 en 60 regel moet instellen! Ook dat bonen zoveel verschillen. Ook de branddatum dat die zo belangrijk is voor de smaak!
Fantastische workshop gehad. Heel goede uitleg, kundig en gebracht met humor. Nu weet ik pas wat ik uit mijn machine kan halen. Een aanrader voor iedereen die inzicht wil hebben in de bereiding van goede koffie!!
Ik ben hartstikke blij en tevreden met de privé workshop die ik van Geert-Jan heb mogen ontvangen. Mijn skills en kennis over espresso, het maken van een lekkere kop cappuccino en vooral hoe mijn Delonghi espresso apparaat effectief te gebruiken, zijn binnen twee uur aanzienlijk verbeterd.
Dankjewel Geert-Jan voor jouw deskundige en warme, geduldige en plezierige reis door Baristaland! Ik heb er geen moment spijt van gehad dat de keus voor jou heb gemaakt! You're the best!!
Geweldige workshop gehad van Geert Jan. Hij heeft ons alles heel fijn uitgelegd en nam daarvoor ook alle tijd. Wij hebben er zeker veel van opgestoken. Een echt aanrader. Nogmaals hartelijk bedankt voor de goede uitleg. TOP!!
Met het volgen van de workshop van Geert-Jan is een lang gekoesterde wens in vervulling gegaan. Geert-Jan geeft op een zeer enthousiaste wijze uitleg over het gehele proces van koffieplant tot het maken van een heerlijke espresso, cappuccino, ….. Zijn enthousiasme is aanstekelijk en naarmate we de workshop doorlopen worden mijn zoon en ik steeds enthousiaster.
Geert-Jan, ontzettend bedankt voor het delen en overbrengen van jouw kennis waardoor wij nu in staat zijn onze espressomachine goed te kunnen gebruiken. Grazie mille, Simon & Hans
De workshop was heel waardevol; Geert-Jan legt alles met veel enthousiasme en geduld uit.
Ik ben nu al super trots op de espresso en barista/ latte art skills die ik in 1 ochtend heb geleerd.

Ik kreeg deze latte-artcursus als cadeau. Na maanden zelf oefenen had ik wel vooruitgang geboekt, maar ik miste nog steeds consistentie en een paar belangrijke basisprincipes.
GeertJan was enorm vriendelijk en deskundig. Hij keek eerst naar mijn melk-steamingtechniek en gaf meteen een gouden tip: lucht toevoegen terwijl de melk nog koud is, en daarna de stoomlans dieper plaatsen om op te warmen. Daardoor verdwijnen de grote bellen wél wanneer je de kan op het aanrecht tikt.
Daarna bekeken we mijn schenktechniek, waar ik veel meer te leren had. We begonnen met een simpele hartvorm en bouwden daarop verder. Tijdens de les maakte ik veel cappuccino’s, waardoor de principes eindelijk duidelijk voor me werden. De sessie was ontzettend leerzaam én gezellig — veel gelachen en fijn contact.
Ik moest wel een paar oude gewoontes afleren, en dat kost tijd. Maar na een paar maanden oefenen (alleen ’s ochtends, dus geen honderden per dag!) zijn de resultaten veel consistenter, zowel met soja- als havermelk. Ik maak nu niet alleen mooie harten, maar ook bloemen en meerlaagse vormen. Zodra de basis weer klopte, ging de vooruitgang veel sneller.
Kortom: deze cursus is een uitstekende investering om je fundament te verbeteren en je latte-artskills snel naar een hoger niveau te tillen. Aanrader!

I received this latte art course as a gift, after months of trying to improve the art in our morning coffees and chai lattes. I’d made some progress on my own, but I was still inconsistent and felt I was missing some core principles.
GeertJan was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. After I explained my situation, he first checked my milk-steaming technique — which, thanks to practice, was already decent — but he immediately gave me one invaluable tip: start introducing air while the milk is still cold, then lower the steam wand to finish heating. This simple correction makes a huge difference; if you add air once the milk is warmer than body temperature, the bubbles are tougher and won’t pop when you knock the jug.
After that, we focused on my pouring technique, where I had a lot more room to grow. We started with a basic heart and then moved on. I made a lot of coffees during the lesson, and the principles finally “clicked” in my mind. The session was incredibly helpful and gave me a framework to evaluate my results and know exactly how to adjust. On top of that, I had a lovely chat with GeertJan — lots of laughs and a great atmosphere.
One thing worth mentioning: I had to unlearn some old habits. Like when Tiger Woods rebuilt his golf swing, it takes time to replace ingrained patterns — especially when you’re only practicing once a day at home. It took me a couple of months to fully adjust, but the results are absolutely worth it. My latte art is now much more consistent with both soy and oat milk, and I’ve moved beyond simple hearts to flowers, layered designs, and more. Once the basics were properly reset, progress became much faster.
Overall, this course is an excellent investment if you want to refine your fundamental techniques and accelerate your latte art skills. I highly recommend it.
