FAQ
What equipment can I bring in?
The Home Barista Training is perfect if you have a bean to cup or group head espresso machine.
If you grind from whole bean, bring your grinder as well! We want you to be comfortable with what you use, and with our decades of industry experience, we can guide you through pretty much any brewing method available.
Do I have to buy your coffee?
Of course, we'd hope that you're already enjoying our delicious coffee, or plan to start treating yourself to our natural, healthy and ethical roasts, but if not, don't worry!
On the day, we'll use our own coffee in your machine, and that's covered in the cost of the session. There's no expectation or pressure on you to be one of our customers, however you will get a free 250g bag of one of our Signature Roasts to take home with you. A perfect way to round things off!
I don't have my own kit, can I use yours?
Absolutely!
We have professional, industry standard group head espresso machines here that we will take you through step by step. If you're looking to buy a group head machine, we can also advise and support you with that too!
