Our roadmap to becoming a skilled at-home barista:

Step 1: Are you curious? Have you been watching YouTube videos and still have more questions? Head over to our classes page to book a class!

Step 2: Where to Start? If you have an espresso machine, start with our Espresso Workshop. This class will cover the science of coffee extraction and how to acheive the “God Shot” on your home espresso machine. Learn the variables that go into making a perfectly constructed shot of espresso. We’ll have multiple round on the espresso machine in the lab to adjust your tamp, grind size, and measure perfectly dosed shots.

Step 3: Latte Art or Latte Blart? Have you tried pouring latte with little success? Let us help! Sign up for our Latte Art Masterclass. With our unique hands-on class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of milk steaming, perfecting milk texture, and the high-low-high method of latte art. Multiple pours with our professional trainers help with technique, placement, and flow rate. Are you washing out your design by going too fast? Or are you too slow and the foam never comes out? We can get you to pour a heart by the end of this class.

Step 4: What’s a Cortado? What’s a cappuccino? If you are wondering these questions, set up a private lesson to go over drink and beverage construction. We can do iced or hot. This private lesson will offer a quick espresso and milk theory refresher before we get into different types of beverages, including, espresso machiato, cortado, cappuccino, latte, and flat white. Private lessons are open Fridays between 12pm-5pm but we can make accommodations for your schedule. Just email us at thread@threadcoffee.com
