BYO Machine One-on-One Session

Overview

Own a coffee machine at home but struggling to get the results you want? This personalised, one-on-one session is tailored entirely to you and your setup. Whether you’re brand new to home espresso or looking to refine your skills, we’ll help you unlock the full potential of your machine.

You set the pace and focus — from mastering espresso extraction to perfecting your milk texturing. By the end of your session, you’ll have practical skills, improved confidence, and a clear path to making consistently great coffee at home.

Each booking also includes a 250g bag of specialty beans to continue your practice at home.
