New for #ACF2026, The Coffee School is where espresso gets real. Hands-on, high-energy and happening right on the festival floor, this is all about doing coffee, not just talking about it.

Powered by Sage and led by the coffee pros at Blommers Coffee Roasters, The Coffee School is your backstage pass to better coffee. No boring lectures, no ego — just proper skills, real machines and expert coaches showing you how it’s done.

Small Groups, Big Upskilling
Each 60-minute session runs with just 9 stations and max 2 people per station, so you’re never lost in the crowd. Whether you’re a home barista, café crew or full-blown coffee obsessive, this is your moment to level up.

Espresso, But Make It Iconic

You’ll be working on the Sage Barista Pro, learning how to dial in, extract and balance flavour like a pro. It’s all about grind, brew, taste, tweak, repeat — with Blommers’ trainers bouncing between stations to keep you sharp, confident and improving fast.

Microfoam Dreams

Milk is not an afterthought here. You’ll learn how to steam silky microfoam and get your texture right for cortados, cappuccinos and flat whites. Latte art lovers, this is where your swans and hearts start making sense.


Perfect Your Skills on the Barista Pro
The Sage Barista Pro brings café-level performance home, combining pro-grade technology with intuitive controls so you can craft specialty coffee exactly your way. With an integrated grinder, fast heat-up system, precise temperature control and powerful steam wand, every shot and every pour is dialled for quality.

Learn Even If You’re Watching
Not on a station? Jump on the sidelines. Watch the workflow, catch the tips, soak up the technique and learn by osmosis. The energy is high and the learning is constant.
