    Great course with lots of tasty coffee!

    We had a great time learning all about pulling espresso shots and how to create the perfect milk texture! The course is 4 people max which really makes it feel like a private experience and you get lots of chances to ask questions and have them work with you to pull the perfect shot. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to learn more about brewing coffee, and you'll even get a free tote with a bag of coffee beans at the end. Great way to spend a Saturday morning!

    Insightful and fun!

    Genuinely informative espresso course - split between a primer on the coffee industry, why espresso works and the logic behind the perfect shot (plus a lot on sustainability which was pitch perfect) - and then we were unleashed on some La Marzoccos! By the end of it we were dialling in the perfect espresso and learning how to get the milk just right. Perfect course if you're just getting into making espresso or want to practice on a better machine with a seriously well-informed trainer in Dean. Can't recommend this enough - although, you will leave more caffeinated than ever before...!

    Hi Noah,

    Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback.

    We're thrilled to hear about your fantastic experience at our Home Espresso Course in London. It's wonderful to know that you found the perfect balance between the theoretical foundations and hands-on practice with our La Marzocco machines.

    We're particularly pleased that you appreciated the sustainability component of the course - this is something we're passionate about at Origin. Dean's expertise and teaching approach consistently receives great feedback, and we're delighted that you found him to be well-informed and engaging.

    Your comment about the caffeine levels gave us a smile - it's certainly true that enthusiasm for perfecting espresso shots can lead to quite a few tastings!

    Many thanks for your support.

    Maddie & the Origin team

    Espresso Course

    Thoroughly enjoyable. The course was run by Dean , time went by quickly and I felt as much as I enjoy my coffee my lack of expertise was quickly evident. I learned enough to improve upon this and would recommend the course to anybody.

    As a newbie in the world of home coffee brewing - I wanted to increase my knowledge and make better expresso-based drinks at home. We had a small class (4) which was a perfect environment to learn and ask questions as necessary. Dean and Ollie (I apologise if I have got/spelt their names wrong) were patient, informative and above all, friendly. There was no snobbery involved and I felt very comfortable in enquiring on the information given and the techniques shown. I left the course with a renewed passion for trying to make better coffee (we all know it can be SO frustrating sometimes!).

    If you’re wondering about whether to attend or not - I would say definitely try it. There’s no coffee machine, online video or book which is a ‘magic bullet’ for making better coffee - you’re much better off (in the long run) picking the brains of people who do this on a daily basis, for a few hours. They are more than happy to impart their knowledge to us and are own specific situations. It was a fun way to spend a few hours with likeminded people imo.
