The Peacock Presents: Barista 101

Friday, September 26, 2025 • 6:00 PM

Ready to level up from coffee-lover to coffee-maker? Join us for Barista 101 at The Peacock—a fun, hands-on evening where you’ll learn the craft behind café-quality drinks, step by step.

What you’ll learn

• How to dial in espresso: grind, dose, tamp, and extraction timing
• Milk texturing for silky microfoam (hello, latte hearts and tulips)
• Drink building & workflow for cappuccinos, lattes, americanos, and more
• Basic machine care & cleaning so your coffee tastes great every time
• Flavor balancing and simple syrup tips for signature drinks

Who it’s for
Total beginners, home-espresso enthusiasts, and new café staff—no experience required. You’ll practice on professional equipment with guidance from our team, and everyone leaves with a printed mini-guide and a new feather in their coffee cap.

Extras
Tastings included, plus a little friendly latte art throwdown at the end for bragging rights.

Good to know
Spots are limited to keep it interactive. Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start promptly at 6:00 PM. Closed-toe shoes recommended.

Tickets & questions
Reserve your seat now. Have accessibility needs or group inquiries? Reach out and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of.

Come learn, sip, and have a little fun—The Peacock way. 🦚☕️
