Become your own barista in this barista class in San Marcos! Our mission is to help coffee enthusiasts, like you, learn how to develop skills to become a coffee connoisseur. Every workshop is unique and comes with personalized brewing assistance and Q&A. Nobody should experience the struggle of making a great cup of coffee as you experienced it in a shop. In this workshop, you will learn everything from how to froth milk to how to make espresso at home.
We will first introduce the principles behind espresso-making: ratios, grind, maintenance, brew time, and temperature. We will taste three different doses and three different grind sizes to illustrate the theory behind them. Next, you'll learn how to dial in. Your instructor will introduce you to a basic and simple dial-in protocol to tweak your shot based on the taste, shot time, and yield.
The second part of the workshop is about milk steaming, frothing, grooming, and pouring. This will include proper pitcher selection, milk, and plant-based alternatives, steaming, frothing, and grooming techniques, and finally, you will learn simple latte art.
​Last but not least, we will combine the knowledge you just gained to make the perfect cup, whether you like single espressos, cappuccinos, or anything in between. Soon you'll have the recipes all of your favorite coffee drinks!
Bonus: you'll get a free bag and some goodies!

I believe communication is the first step to solving anything. That’s why we value trust, transparency, and mindfulness in everything we do. Coffee flows in my blood since my childhood in Paris, France. From the café on the terraces to a warm cup of Turkish coffee at home, it was always a connecting moment between people and culture.
After my engineering degree, months of travel at coffee origins, and years of coffee education in London, UK, I launched Memli Coffee Lab to propose an innovative approach to coffee roasting with a focus on sensory experience, transparency, and education.
Looking back, coffee has always been in my life. As we say in French, it's my "madeleine de Proust" and my glimmer of hope at the same time. I hope you can catch me one day and share ideas around a cup of coffee
