Breville: Introduction to Espresso at Home

This beginner-friendly class, hosted by ACE Coffee Roasters in partnership with Breville, is designed to help you make consistently good espresso at home—without the guesswork.

Held at our West Ritchie Roastery, this session focuses on how Breville espresso machines actually work, why small adjustments matter, and how to build good habits from day one. Whether you already own a Breville machine or are thinking about buying one, this class gives you a solid foundation you can keep building on.

Each ticket admits two people, and you do not need to own a machine to attend.
