On 13 October 2026, Jodie Chan from Three Bears Coffee Studio taught espresso extraction and basic latte art at La Marzocco's Melbourne showroom, 104 Nicholson Street, Abbotsford. The hands-on lesson brought together coffee education and home espresso equipment, using Linea Mini and Linea Micra espresso machines alongside the Pico grinder.
From espresso extraction to heart and tulip pours
The session focused on espresso extraction and foundational latte art. Participants practised heart patterns with side-to-side pouring and tulips, connecting the preparation of an espresso with the milk pouring that follows.
Learning with the equipment in front of you makes a coffee lesson tangible: participants can practise at the bar, observe the process and ask questions as they work. The photographs below record the classroom and hands-on practice during this particular showroom session.
Learning on Linea Mini, Linea Micra and Pico
The lesson used the La Marzocco Linea Mini and Linea Micra espresso machines, with the Pico coffee grinder. For people exploring a home espresso setup, practical training is an opportunity to connect a machine and grinder with the skills used to prepare a cup of coffee.
