5/5 from Sue Piccoli, attended Oct 2026: The class was great, very comprehensive, well organised with a good mixture of taking and doing!! I didn't realise how much making a good cup of coffee entailed!
5/5 from Sofie Grin, attended Oct 2026: I really enjoyed the course. You can learn so much, including a lot about coffee beans, which I found really interesting. The instructor was very friendly and had such a positive attitude. Five hours felt a little long at first, but I think it was actually better this way because we had more time to practise and learn by doing. I even managed to make a heart for the first time! All in all, it was an amazing course, and I would definitely recommend it to others!
