Barista Training: Espresso Extraction Foundations

New to espresso or still building your confidence on bar? This hands-on, small-group workshop will walk you through the essential steps of dialing in for a balanced, flavorful shot. Designed for beginner to early-intermediate baristas, this session builds core skills through a mix of lecture, demonstration, and guided practice.

Topics Covered:

• Understanding key variables: grind size, dose, yield, and time
• Tamping techniques for consistency
• Intro to the dialing-in process and basic espresso recipe building
• Identifying under-extracted and over-extracted shots
• Tasting and calibrating with confidence

In this workshop, the barista will have some time to work with the machine and receive hands on coaching. Some of these topics will be covered in theory and demonstration only.
