☕❤️ Have you ever wanted to create beautiful latte art but didn't know where to start?

Whether you've never touched an espresso machine or simply want to learn the basics, this beginner-friendly class is designed to help you pour your very first heart in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Unlike many workshops, this lesson takes place inside a real working café during its quietest hours. You'll learn behind a professional coffee machine, experience the atmosphere of a real café, and discover what it's like to step behind the bar.

What you'll learn:

• ☕ How to prepare a balanced espresso
• 🥛 How to steam silky, smooth milk
• ❤️ How to pour your first heart latte art
• 💡 Practical tips to continue improving at home

Every coffee you make is yours to enjoy, so you'll experience how different techniques affect both the appearance and the flavour. To finish the session, you'll prepare your own café-quality takeaway coffee using premium specialty beans, just like a real barista.

Perfect for:

• Complete beginners
• Coffee lovers
• Anyone curious about becoming a barista
• Friends, couples, or solo participants

No previous experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity, and we'll take care of the rest.

Class details:

• 📍 Location: Mixed 1981 Café, 50 Fort Street, Auckland CBD
• ⏱ Duration: 60 minutes for a solo session, 90 minutes for 2 or more students
• 💰 Price: $45 to $60 per person

This format allows plenty of hands-on practice while ensuring every participant receives personalised guidance.

🇯🇵 Learn Japanese with An, a native tutor from Fukuoka, every Sunday from 3:30pm in Auckland CBD.
