Some customers are just delightful. Meet Graham! ☕️

We loved helping Graham get the best out of his Breville Barista Express. From dialling in the perfect espresso to mastering silky smooth milk, it all came together.

And that smile? Priceless. We think his expression says it all.

Here's to many more great coffees at home, Graham!

Two Pommies on a mission to make great coffee!

We loved having these two in our roastery, sharing a few tricks of the trade and showing them what goes into a proper Australian coffee.

Lots of laughs, plenty of espresso and some serious milk texturing practice.

Girls, we hope you take a little of Melbourne's coffee culture home with you. Good luck with your coffee adventures back in the UK!

Now that's dedication to a good coffee!

Straight off a night shift at the fire brigade, Gerard arrived bright and early at our roastery, determined to give his six-year-old coffee machine another chance.

Turns out, the machine wasn't the problem. A little know-how, some proper dialling in, and suddenly the espresso was flowing beautifully.

One coffee machine spared from retirement. Plenty of money saved. And many great coffees to come.

Nice work, Gerard!

Yes, we love seeing that smile — when customers finally start falling in love with the machine they invested in. ☕️

Quite often, many of our students bought a new coffee machine thinking it would all be a little more automatic. Press a button, coffee comes out, done. If only. 😄

With a manual or semi-automatic machine, there is still a bit to learn. Understanding what is happening during the extraction, knowing what to adjust when the shot is too fast, too slow, sour or bitter, and then getting the milk silky and glossy makes such a difference.

And that’s the part we really enjoy — when it suddenly starts to make sense.

All smiles around. ☕️

Our private BYO barista classes are all about learning on the equipment you actually use at home. And yes, booking is now much easier with our online calendar — including weekend classes.

Geez, you’ve got to love some birthday presents. ☕️🎁

For this duet BYO Barista Class, the birthday present was not only the class itself, but also a brand-new Breville Barista Express. So brand new, in fact, that we unboxed it together at the start of the session.

It was actually a great way to begin. Rather than taking a new machine home and wondering, Where do I start? What grind setting should I use? How much coffee goes in? Why is my shot running too fast or too slow? — we could work through the setup together from the very beginning.

A pretty good birthday present, we thought — and it certainly set everyone up for a much better morning coffee routine. ☕️

Today we met a lovely couple with an almost-new Breville Barista Pro. ☕️

After plenty of frustration trying to dial in the espresso and even more frustration steaming milk this lovely couple decided to bring their coffee machine along to a private barista class and work through it properly. And there was plenty to work through.

We tasted lots of different extractions, talked about strength, extraction and flavour, and then checked what we were tasting with measurements from a refractometer. For us, that is a big part of learning espresso. It is not just about following a recipe or chasing a particular number. We want our customers to understand the theory, but also to develop their taste buds and learn how to connect what they are tasting back to what is happening in the extraction.
Is the shot sour because it is under-extracted? Should the grind be finer? Is the coffee simply too strong? What should you change first? And why does milk sometimes end up bubbly rather than silky and glossy? Those are exactly the kinds of questions that come up when someone is trying to learn how to dial in their own home espresso machine.

By the end of the session, the sour shot was gone, the milk was silky and glossy and there were smiles all round.

Our private BYO barista classes are all about learning on the equipment you actually use at home. After all, life is too short to drink bad coffee.

A little Breville Bambino joined us for a BYO session recently.

We love getting to know different equipment and, we have to say, this little machine really surprised us. Our customer had brought along the Bambino together with a Turin DF54 single-dose grinder — a lovely compact setup with a very small kitchen footprint.

Like so many home baristas, the questions were familiar: How fine should I grind? Why is my espresso running too fast? How do I know when I have actually dialled the coffee in properly? So we worked through it together. We adjusted the grind, weighed the dose and yield, tasted the shots and made small changes along the way.

And because the Bambino was producing some really lovely espresso, we got a little curious and brought out the refractometer to see what the numbers said.
They backed up what we were tasting. The extraction was right where we wanted it to be. A nice reminder that you really don’t need a huge machine to make great espresso at home.

We always say dynamite comes in small packages, and the Bambino certainly proved the point. By the end, we had some beautifully balanced shots coming through. We were impressed. Our customer was pretty happy too. ☕️

If you’re looking for a little help getting the most out of your home setup, have a look at our private 1:1 barista classes. You can bring your own coffee machine and grinder, and with our online calendar it’s easy to pick a time that suits you.

We love teaching barista classes, but one of the nicest parts is seeing customers finally fall in love with the coffee machine they invested in.

Today it was a Breville Barista Express Impress and an especially lovely couple behind it. They had come along wanting to better understand their own machine, but with our private BYO classes we can also spend time on whatever our customers are most curious about. And we’re always very happy to share what we know about coffee.

Because yes, the way you extract espresso has a huge impact on taste but so does the coffee you start with. Origin, variety, processing method and roast level can all change what ends up in the cup. So today we talked about different origins and flavour profiles, tasted a few coffees and found a new favourite for our customers.

Then we dialled it in. Bang. Much better. We also worked on the other big home-barista question: how do you get milk silky and glossy rather than bubbly and foamy? By the end, the milk was beautifully textured and we even had a first go at what one could generously call latte art. 😄

All smiles around.

It’s exactly why bringing your own coffee machine to a barista class can be so useful. You get to understand the machine you actually use at home and hopefully enjoy it a whole lot more afterwards.

What better way to spend some quality mum-and-daughter time than learning something new together — with a great coffee in hand.

We love these little moments in our barista classes at the roastery. Shared laughs, shared learning, and usually a very proud smile when the first latte is poured.
