A 45-minute run of show balancing technical instruction with a soft pitch for the coffee subscription.
| Minute | Block | Spoken point | Visual cue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0:00 - 0:05 | Welcome and Setup | Welcome everyone. Tell me in the chat what espresso machine you use at home while we wait for late arrivals. | Title slide with a countdown timer and a QR code for the chat. |
| 0:05 - 0:10 | The Bean Matters | A great shot starts with the roast date. Supermarket beans are often stale before you buy them. | Side-by-side photo of fresh roasted beans with crema versus stale beans. |
| 0:10 - 0:20 | Dialing in the Grind | Your grinder is more important than your machine. Let us look at what a proper espresso grind looks like. | Overhead camera showing grind consistency on a white background. |
| 0:20 - 0:25 | Tamping and Extraction | Apply even pressure. You want the shot to pull in about 25 to 30 seconds for a standard double. | Live demonstration of tamping and pulling a shot, timer on screen. |
| 0:25 - 0:30 | Common Mistakes | If your shot is sour, you are under-extracting. If it is bitter, you went too far. | Troubleshooting graphic showing fast/sour versus slow/bitter. |
| 0:30 - 0:35 | The Subscription Pitch | To practice this, you need fresh beans constantly. Our subscription delivers coffee roasted to order every two or four weeks for [price]. | Slide showing subscription box, delivery options, and a direct link. |
| 0:35 - 0:43 | Live Q&A | Let us look at the chat. I see a question about milk frothing. | Split screen showing the presenter and the selected chat questions. |
