Attended the Barista Basics course with Jake, I was in awe of his passion and enthusiasm for coffee. His knowledge of the product and nuances around brewing, milk steaming and latte art was contagious. But Jake also stressed the importance of basic hygiene and cleaning of your machine, which if not done, will compromise the flavour of the coffee and the performance of the machine. And that goat farmer who discovered the bean…………Jeff Bezos eat your heart out.

Had a brilliant one-to-one, two-day barista training course here with Harriet, she was super helpful, professional, and all-around lovely. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get a head start on a professional career, a part time job in a cafe, or just some additional knowledge about coffee. I went in knowing barely anything and came out with loads of super valuable knowledge and insight on coffee production and making beverages using professional machinery. 10/10.

Great course for a beginner that does not know much about coffee. We had a 1-1 because it was Covid. The lady that ran the course was informative and ran a good course. Enjoyed the afternoon!

Jake is a great teacher, clearly passionate about all aspects of coffee and keen to share his knowledge. I attended the Barista Basics & Barista Advanced – both fabulous courses delivered with enthusiasm and I learnt so much from the origins to latte art. Its a fun way to learn in a great environment and Jake was excellent.
