Eight hours, six patterns, every person films a video of their best pour. For people whose first heart already sits.
A one-day seminar with a lunch break. Every pattern comes once as a demo, then you practise, then you get feedback. At the end, one video per person.
Calibrate grind and brew profile so the crema is dense and load-bearing. The prerequisite for clean multi-layer pours.
A refresher on the three classics. Clean symmetry, centre, end line. Those who are already confident move straight on to multi-layer tulips.
The swan separates advanced from more advanced. Pour, turn, head etching. In two hours, visibly landed at least once by everyone.
Six-leaf rosetta, etching pin for details (eyes, feathers, lettering). This is where it gets creative — you take your patterns home.
Everyone films their best pour. We watch the videos together and give targeted feedback. You take the video and the assessment with you.

The Foundation teaches the heart. The Intensive builds on that and takes you through tulips, swan, multi-layer and etching — with video review.
You should already be able to pull espresso and steam milk. Anyone who has done the Foundation is exactly in the right place. Anyone working in a café, even more so.
Yes — as an MP4 download after the course. Including trainer audio commentary with the three most important points to work on.
Coffee, water, snacks unlimited. You organise lunch yourself — four good options within five minutes' walk.
Eight hours of standing with breaks. We have stools. If you have back problems, let us know.
No — the chapters build on each other. If you only want to practise etching, you're better off in a Private Lesson.
Six to ten espressos per person. We recommend going caffeine-free the evening before and getting enough sleep.
Anyone who did the Foundation gets a 30 € discount on the Intensive within 60 days. Mention it in the contact form.
With a doctor's note we reschedule, free of charge, to the next date within three months.
From four people from the same company onwards we'd rather do a Corporate workshop — usually better tailored and cheaper overall.
Six seats. Etching pins go home with you. Write to us with your preferred date.
