5/5 from Erin Evans, attended May 2025: Great class. Very informative
5/5 from Melanie O'Shanassy, attended May 2025: I thoroughly enjoyed the barista coffee making course. Vimal was a very knowledgeable in the ark of making coffee and was able to impart her skills and knowledge in an impactful way. I was in with a wonderful group of people and it was a great morning out!
3/5 from Yahli Groswasser, attended Mar 2025: It was ok for the basics, the teacher wasn't very professional in my opinion and didn't have a lot of knowledge about coffee
5/5 from Glenda Hamilton, attended Jan 2025: Harry was very good and paticent with all students. and answered all of the questions completely and clearly. I don`t remember anything being said about a gift card, so no I didn`t recieve a gift card.
5/5 from Deborah King, attended Jan 2025: I really enjoyed the class. Harry was a great teacher and made it fun. I’m encouraged to take it forward and do a more advanced certificate. Thank you Harry
5/5 from Yvonne Pan, attended Jan 2025: Erin was the best teacher!! So knowledgeable and made learning very enjoyable. We learnt a lot very quickly and the time flew by. We wish Erin all the best in her future!
5/5 from Tobias George, attended Dec 2024: It was great fun and I learned a lot. I liked the hands on approach ant the teaching technique Definitely recommend
5/5 from Paul Garrioch, attended Dec 2024: The teacher was very kind and patient. Gave direct instructions, created the perfect environment to be able to make mistakes in and improve. Presentation and sheet given to us were very informative
4/5 from Janine Stray, attended Dec 2024: The location was great, a little tricky to find but still great. Teacher was efficient and professional. Great feedback and positive teaching Equipment and facilities perfect Group size suited us Intent to book for other classes Highly recommend
4/5 from Ishmanpreet Gosal, attended Dec 2024: The class was an amazing experience! The teacher taught us how to make different style of coffee such latte, cappucino, flat white and espresso shot. She gave us detailed and clear instructions for us to follow, and in such a short time I was able to learn so much about using a cafe style coffee machine. She also got us to be involved as much as possible in the lesson which allowed the lesson to be less awkward especially since you are going into a class with complete strangers that also have a passion for making coffee.
4/5 from Arun Sundaramurthy, attended Dec 2024: Decent value for the money! Pros: 1. Very hands-on. You practice the main 4 types of coffee (espresso, cappuccino, latte and flat white) many times. 2. Location is very good - right off flinders station! Cons: 1. Inexperienced teacher - she was very pleasant and tried her best, however it would be great to have someone who knows coffee extensively or with significant experience as a Barista 2. Would have been nice to have a take away material of everything covered in the course. They provide you an A4 sheet that gives the recipe for various coffee, however a detailed guide would have been nice.
5/5 from Sonya Rutherfurd, attended Nov 2024: This class was excellent and very good value for money. The teacher gave us lots of practical experience in making various types of coffees, and I only had one milk explosion! I am a complete novice but feel like I have enough skills to start making coffees in my new cafe job.
5/5 from Rachel Martino, attended Nov 2024: The teacher was helpful, positive and knowledgeable. I learnt so much and will be able to use my new skills with confidence. The course was very hands on which was great.
5/5 from Martin O'Connor, attended Oct 2024: Well facilitated. An experienced barista. I don't like the fact I need to add a certain amount of words to provide feedback.
5/5 from Paul Stolz, attended Oct 2024: Helped me understand the art of coffee making much better to assist our voluntary organization. Harry was very clear in instructing and very helpful
3/5 from Abby Rager, attended Oct 2024: The barista course my family and I attended was good. Harry was knowledgeable and patien. But there were two key issues I wanted to share. First, regarding the milk options: none of us drink regular milk, and unfortunately, there were no alternatives like almond, oat, or soy available. My husband ended up going down to Coles mid-course to buy our own milk so we could enjoy the drinks. While it wasn’t a huge issue, I would have expected this to be considered given how common these options are nowadays. Second, and more importantly, we had a very unpleasant experience when it came to the certificates. We asked for two of them to be reprinted—one due to our mistake, but another because of a spelling error on their end. Instead of resolving the issue, we were made to feel like we were wasting their time, and they ended up charging us for the reprints. It wasn’t about whose mistake it was; it was how they handled it, which really soured the whole experience. This was my husband’s birthday present, and that scene at the end really took away from what was supposed to be a special day, which is a real shame.
5/5 from Lyndell Hardwick, attended Aug 2024: It was enjoyable and I learned alot - lots of hands on training which was great
5/5 from Mahesh Jayaram, attended Jul 2024: Jay was excellent, very knowledgeable and taught really well. I enjoyed the course very much.
5/5 from Kannitha Kean, attended Jul 2024: It was worth it. I learned so much in just a few hours. Quick and simple for new skills. The teacher was so friendly and helpful. It was an efficient short course in making coffees. I would come for another course in the future.
5/5 from Junki Matsumoto, attended Jun 2024: The teacher was very kind and his lecture was great. I was nervous because I didn't know some English words for making coffee, but he cheered me up. Thank you!
5/5 from Oliver Davys, attended Jun 2024: Carlos was a great help, and full of knowledge. Would 100% recommend for anyone interested
5/5 from Steff Davis, attended May 2024: Carlos was our teacher for the day, and he did an amazing job. He gave everyone time and advice one on one and went through everything very clearly. Learnt so much that I can take home and do myself!
5/5 from Elizabeth Spanjer, attended May 2024: Carlos was an incredible teacher - kind, patient, and clearly knows his coffee. Would absolutely recommend this class ️️
5/5 from Michelle Escobar, attended May 2024: I highly recommend this class, and Carlos is a great instructor. He taught me how to properly froth milk and recognize different shapes, sizes, and types of coffee. I would love to go back to learn more about coffee art and continue to practice.
5/5 from Eleanor McCandless, attended May 2024: Jimmy was a great teacher, he was very helpful and patient with the class. He explained everything well and went through every step and bit of info clearly. The materials were good and we had a lot of time to practice each coffee.
5/5 from Raul Cintero Matas, attended Apr 2024: Great course. Well explained and enough time to practice. No big numbers of students so we had enough coffee machine to use
5/5 from Val Wong, attended Apr 2024: Carlos was a great teacher! He was able to provide a good overview on how to make espressos and steam milk. I loved how he tailored it's based on everyone's skill level and wants. (I.e. job vs hobby) Overall, a great class to learn the foundations.
5/5 from Mick O'Hagan, attended Apr 2024: The teacher (Carlos) was great. He thoroughly explained everything and made it possible for us all to make good coffees by the end of the course. The course was good value for money too.
5/5 from Richard Gleeson, attended Apr 2024: Knowledgeable and skilled teacher, venue was good, all the materials needed were provided, learnt the major coffees made in Melbourne, good value for money.
5/5 from Elizabeth Bachmann, attended Apr 2024: Wonderful teacher, the instructions were easy to understand and learned a lot in just a few hours. I highly recommend.
5/5 from Jasmine Warner, attended Apr 2024: Great class with lots of hands on experience + practice. Takeaway sheet is also a great reference for afterwards
5/5 from Simran Kaur, attended Apr 2024: I recently attended a barista class.it was a fantastic experience! The instructor was knowledgeable and passionate about coffee, and they did a great job of explaining each step of the process.I left feeling much more confident in my barista skills. Overall, though, I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to up their coffee game!"
5/5 from Jennifer Sumner, attended Mar 2024: Jimmy presented the information in a clear easily understood format and gave us a suitable amount of time to practice each skill. He was patient and worked with us individually if we were struggling with a technique. There was plenty of coffee and milk to repeat things until we felt confident.
5/5 from Rachel Wong, attended Mar 2024: Easy to understand. Very supportive and understanding. I learned how to make coffee and how to operate a coffee machine.
4/5 from Sujann Andradi, attended Mar 2024: Did the basic barista course and the instructor was very good and willing to help. Good course content. Enough milk and coffee was provided for as much as coffees we ended to practice on. Did not like the venue much. Not very clean. Can understand that it is hard to find a commercial kitchen to do the course but could be cleaner. Did not get a handout although we were just asked to bring a pen. But overall the class was really informative and practical!
5/5 from Ivy Rose Cripps, attended Feb 2024: Jimmy was an excellent instructor who was so patient and truly passionate about helping others. He delivered the course in such a way that was clear and I was able to learn SO MUCH. I thought I knew how to make coffees before but now that I've done the course I realised I knew almost nothing about how to make proper coffee beforehand. Highly recommend, did the morning class, it was so chill and we got to make our own coffees to drink. Just awesome. Jimmy is the goat.
5/5 from Kerry Duligall, attended Feb 2024: I enjoy time barista more to learn coffee so amazing I’m happy and confident too as well best my time as great
5/5 from Lady Julieth Gonzalez Romero, attended Feb 2024: It was a very entertaining class, we learned about the theory of making all the coffee preparations and then we practiced until we achieved a good result. The teacher was very motivated and patient.
5/5 from Blake Andreas Valentino, attended Jan 2024: What was the teacher like? He was kind and patient and helpful If materials were provided, did you like them? Coffee milk and the coffee machines and compressors were all great for the course Was the experience good value for money? Definitely worth it and you'll learn a lot What did you do / learn? Learned how to do different coffee and foams and frothing What did you like most? 15/10 mminute breaks in-between
5/5 from Luis Mario Murillo Romero, attended Jan 2024: The teacher is nice and help you every time with every question you have, he has so much expierence and easy understand to the things explained you have enough material to try and do it right and itsn't expensive, I love the course I'll like to take another
