The hands-on format was perfect for me — I got to pull shots and steam milk myself instead of just watching a demo. By the end I was actually dialing in a decent espresso, which felt way more doable than I expected for a beginner.

I went in knowing nothing about espresso and left actually pulling shots with decent crema—the instructor's pacing was perfect for a total beginner. If you're a student or just curious about specialty coffee, this class is worth every penny.

The hands-on part is what sold me—actually pulling shots and steaming milk instead of just watching a demo. I left feeling like I could finally make a decent flat white at home, and the small class size meant I got plenty of one-on-one time with the instructor.
