Espresso Brewing Masterclass – Understanding Espresso at Home

Description

This session is designed for people who brew espresso at home and want better results – without guesswork.

We’ll start with a guided coffee cupping to help you understand flavour, balance, and extraction. From there, we’ll break down how espresso works in simple terms and demonstrate how to dial in espresso properly, focusing on what to change, in what order, and why.

This is not a barista qualification or a latte art class. It’s about building understanding and confidence so you can make better espresso at home every day.

What You’ll Learn

• What espresso actually is (and why it behaves the way it does)
• How grind size, dose, yield, and time affect flavour
• How to taste espresso and identify under- or over-extraction
• A clear, repeatable process for dialing in at home
• Practical tips for improving consistency on home equipment

What’s Included

• Guided coffee cupping
• Live espresso dial-in demonstration
• All coffee and equipment provided
• Small group learning with time for questions

Who This Is For

• Home espresso machine owners
• Curious coffee drinkers who want deeper understanding
• Anyone frustrated with inconsistent espresso at home

If you mainly brew pour-over, you’re probably already deep in the rabbit hole. This session is espresso-focused.
