Espresso Made Easy
$97
Your espresso machine is ready. Let’s make the coffee worth looking forward to.
Espresso Made Easy is a step-by-step course for home baristas who are tired of sour shots, bitter coffee, and changing settings without knowing why. I’ll walk you through the process so you can make better decisions—and understand what to adjust when a shot goes wrong.
Here’s what we’ll cover together:
- Welcome to Espresso: get your setup and the basics clear.
- Understanding Coffee Beans: choose beans that suit your taste and learn how roast and freshness affect your shot.
- Dosing & Grinding: build a repeatable routine and learn how grind changes affect extraction.
- Distribution & Tamping: prepare your puck to reduce uneven extraction and channeling.
- Extraction & Shot Timing: watch, time, and taste your shots so you know what to change next.
- Milk Texturing: learn the milk-steaming fundamentals for lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites.
- Cleaning & Maintenance: care for your machine and grinder.
- Troubleshooting: work through sour, bitter, fast, or slow shots with a clear next step.
You’ll also get Putting It All Together, a final wrap-up module to connect the steps into your own routine.
Practical tools to keep beside your machine
The course includes an espresso starter checklist, coffee buying cheat sheet, grind-size troubleshooting chart, dose log, gear guide, visual shot guide, flavor wheel, milk alternatives guide, cleaning schedule, and troubleshooting map.
Made for your home setup
I demonstrate with a Breville Barista Express, but you don’t need the same machine. Bring an espresso machine capable of brewing around 9 bars, an espresso-capable burr grinder, a tamper, and fresh beans. The course focuses on espresso and milk fundamentals; it isn’t an advanced latte-art course.

It'd have saved me time and money
I spent $1,087 on random espresso equipment I didn't need... Only to end up pulling sour, inconsistent shots. Espresso Made Easy would have saved me SO much time and money. Every pull feels like a calculated decision, regardless what beans I'm using. My coffee shop is in for a bad quarter, because I'm no longer dropping a daily $10 when I can make craft shop quality espresso at home. Thank you, Liz!! -Jordan O. P.S.: It's so easy, even my 7 year old can do it (pic attached)
Relatable and nice pace to follow
What a nice personal story you shared and within minutes you hit the most important things that i experienced and i must say somewhat comforting that you struggled at home as a home barista with the actual barista experience you had, of course in a good way. The quality of the video and sound quality is very nice and your pace is very nice and i can follow nicely! -Zeki K.
