Event information
Cape Coffee Beans runs a show-and-tell crash course aimed at beginners and home coffee enthusiasts, covering the fundamentals of espresso extraction. The session demonstrates key ratios, grinding methods and tamping technique, alongside the basics of steaming milk for micro-foam and pouring a simple heart-shaped latte art pattern.
The course also covers straightforward maintenance for home coffee machines, framed around the core principles of consistency, cleanliness and attention to detail that underpin good coffee-making. The format is primarily a live demonstration, with a short window at the end for attendees to try out what they have watched.
The course is aimed at people who already own, or are considering buying, a home espresso machine, rather than those pursuing a professional barista qualification.
Cape Coffee Beans operates as a retailer of roasted coffee beans, machines, grinders and accessories from its Claremont premises, alongside running its own in-house courses.
