About this Class

Join Coffee Common baristas and Breville for an exclusive event produced especially for Skillshare at A Startup Store beta. This will be the last exhibition at A Startup Store beta before they debut their first theme LOVE and announce their permanent store name.

Espresso is perhaps the most difficult way of brewing coffee, but for 90 minutes, professional baristas from around the country will be showing attendees the fundamentals of espresso brewing. Breville is kindly providing a selection of their brand new Dual Boiler espresso machines, the first machine to offer commercial grade equipment for the home at an affordable price. Coffee Common will have multiple stations set up, each with its own barista, to make sure attendees get access.

  • Gimme Coffee from NYC
  • Intelligentsia Coffee from Chicago
  • Ritual Coffee from San Francisco
  • Heart Coffee Roasters from Portland
  • Counter Culture Coffee from North Carolina
