Master your espresso machine in your own kitchen.
A private 90-120 minute session at your own machine. Leave with balanced, consistent espresso - and the confidence to dial it in yourself.
Your espresso machine can do far better than this.
Your home coffee machine has the potential to make exceptional coffee. The secret is knowing how to use it. The differences lie in technique - and that is exactly what one considered, hands-on session addresses.
The gap is rarely the machine.

From the kitchens we've dialled in
“We bought a Sage Dual Boiler and spent months getting bitter espresso and bubbly milk. In two hours, Kieran had us dialling in grind size, nailing 1:2 ratios, and actually pouring decent latte art. Worth every penny.”
