Are you as passionate about coffee as we are? Join our advanced home barista course in Weesp at Amsterdam Coffee Lab! Immerse yourself in the incredible universe of coffee and learn from Wouter, our expert trainer, who is not only a skilled barista trainer but also a sensory specialist known as the CoffeeNose πŸ‘ƒ

This course is designed for home baristas with experience. You know how to dial in an espresso and are even doing latte art, but good is not good enough for you. You want to refine your skills and take them to the next level.

At Amsterdam Coffee Lab, we believe in the power of practical learning. We will meet your individual needs, so you can learn to brew espresso like a professional. 

Seize the chance to tap into Wouter's knowledge and immerse yourself in our exceptional offerings! Being a proficient barista requires not only technical skills but also a keen sense of taste to evaluate the espresso and suggest necessary modifications. You will shift your focus from the usual metrics (extraction time, dose, yield, etc.) and reconnect with the core principles of tasting, assessing, and leveraging your expertise to improve the next shot!

If you have the opportunity, please bring your own machine and grinder so we can train you on the tools you work with every day. If you can't bring your equipment, please take some pictures of it.

Espresso is a delightful journey of flavors, ranging from rich nutty and chocolate undertones to vibrant floral and fruity notes. We will embark on an exciting tasting adventure, and remember, just like with fine wine, you have the option to spit it out if caffeine is a concern for you. Don't miss out on this experience!

In the masterclass you will learn:

  • dialing in the next level

  • adaptive dosing

​

  • advanced puck preparation


  • how to fine-tune your recipe to match your unique taste preferences


  • how to make espresso based beverages based on the blend/beans

​

  • basics of temperature and pressure profiling 


  • and a treasure trove of additional tips and tricks that will make you a coffee connoisseur
