Description
I have designed this course to give you the knowledge and skills you need to make consistently outstanding coffee using the brilliant Breville range of dual boiler espresso makers.

The programming and operation of the Breville range of dual boiler espresso machines.
The elements that make up uniform coffee extraction.
How to get even coffee grind distribution in the basket and a good tamp.
What to look for in a coffee bean and the best way to store your beans.
How to minimise waste of your milk and beans.
How to choose and set the best brew boiler water temperature.
How to program the single and double shot buttons and extract a smooth shot of espresso.
How to texture your milk to the same temperature every time, without a thermometer.
How to texture your milk to a good consistency for late art.
How to pour a rosetta and simple hearts.
How to make a great chai latte and hot chocolate.
Like most professional baristas I started out with a desire to make a decent espresso based coffee at home. That desire morphed into an obsession, and that obsession into a full time job as a barista. That barista job morphed into the ownership of a specialty coffee cafe in the busy West End of Brisbane. I have done my best to roll all of that experience into a single course based around my favourite home espresso machine, the Breville BES920.
It is absolutely possible to make outstanding coffee with the BES series of espresso machines, and it is my aim to give you the knowledge and skills you need to do so.
You will need an espresso maker, preferably but not necessarily a Breville dual boiler, a grinder and a set of digital scales accurate to 0.1g.
