Frequently Asked Questions

About

Do I need to bring my own Breville machine?

No, we will have several popular Breville models (Barista Express, Oracle, etc.) provided for hands-on use during the class. You are also welcome to bring your own machine if it is easily portable.
Is this class suitable for absolute beginners?

Yes, this class is designed for anyone who owns, or is wanting, a Breville machine and wants to move from basic operation to cafe-quality results. We cover foundational concepts specific to the Breville espresso system.
Will we discuss the differences between "manual" and "automatic" features?

Absolutely. A key takeaway is understanding which type of machine best suits your routine. We will compare the full manual control of semi-automatics (like the Barista Express) versus the automated dosing, tamping, and steaming of super-automatics (like the Oracle), allowing you to maximize the potential of whichever model you own or plan to buy.
Will we learn milk steaming on both the manual and automatic steam wands?

Yes. We will cover techniques for both the manual steam wands (for ultimate control and latte art) and the auto-steaming/auto-frothing features found on some Breville models to ensure you can achieve cafe-quality microfoam regardless of your machine type.
Will this class cover cleaning and maintenance?

Yes, a dedicated section covers crucial, simple steps for cleaning and maintenance to keep your specific Breville machine in top shape and ensure its longevity.
What if I have dietary restrictions for the milk used?

We provide a variety of milks, including standard whole milk and popular non-dairy alternatives like oat and almond milk. Please inform us of any severe allergies upon booking
