This class was great! The teacher was so knowledgeable and lovely. I looked forward to this class each week to learn more! It was very practical and you come out of it with a new skill set, and being very proud of what I accomplished.

Kind of disappointing because:
1) Instructor very late-at least by 45minutes
2) Materials were not prepared properly- we were using a “tamper” of the wrong size.
The milk beaker for frothing was way too big for what we were doing.
3) I expected “Latte art” to be part of it but he said it’s not included.
4) There was a lack of facility on how to clear the Group handle of used coffee. We were knocking it on the lid of the rubbish bin in the room. One would certainly not do this on a regular basis as you would end wrecking your bin quickly.
5) Too much emphasis on making lots of coffee too quickly and efficiently. Not of value to anyone who just wants to make a good fresh coffee all the time.

Amazing experience. Would recommend those who are keen on learning about coffee an would like to explore more

Kesler Nguyen • Jun 2023

I really love it, when I came in I was very nervous, but when we were learning it was very interesting, it was also funny with the person teaching us and the people around. It really made my day, the most part I love is the milk, where we have to heat it and feel the temperature and then pour in to the coffee. Thank you very much, it's been truly amazing.

I enjoyed the class.
Have much more understanding how to grind the beans also feel more confident in making a cappuccino and a flatwhite

Norman Diaz • Jan 2023

Instructor is super passionate about coffee, it really made the class enjoyable and easy to understand. Venue was well equipped and had very nice machines to learn on.

Did I enjoy this course? Would I recommend this course? Yes and yes!
Great for those wanting to gain the skills and knowledge to become a barista or make a great coffee at home. Greg is absolutely wonderful, he is very passionate and very knowledgeable. Our class size was not big, just six of us so it meant we were able to practice on the machines what we had learned. From grinding the beans to achieve the perfect espresso shot to frothing the milk for the perfect texture of a smooth and creamy cappuccino or flat white. Looking forward to making and enjoying my homemade coffee now with my new skills.

If you have, or want to develop a love for making coffee, this is the course for you! Greg is seriously passionate about coffee! And he tries to pass that passion on to his students. This course is aimed at budding baristas, rather than those who just want to have fun. Nevertheless, it is extremely informative and hands on! The atmosphere is extremely warm and professional. The equipment is top of the line and easy to use. The groups are small, and you get individual instruction. I’ll be sending my daughter to the sane class so that she can have this skill on her resume.

Really good communication skills. Greg was able to engage all ages in the art of brewing a prefect coffee. Learned that grinder setup is critical to the perfect cup. Would recommend this course

Great course delivery, teacher very encouraging and patient with participants, everyone walked away with lots more confidence and new skills!

Beverley Root • Aug 2022

Very thorough explanation on grinding coffee - which I knew nothing about - also explained well espresso and the milk process for Cappuccino and Latte - very informative. Is there any other classes which would progress me further? Teacher was great

Carol Zhou-Zheng • Jun 2022

I highly recommend this course! It is especially great for beginners who don't know very much about making coffee.
Greg was absolutely a fantastic instructor - enthusiastic, passionate, knowledgeable, personable - but not to mention, he was very understanding when I had a last minute change and had to reschedule the class.
The content and presentation was very fun and thorough - it was structured well and logically. Class size was not very big, which meant we got more time with the machines.
We learnt from the very beginning - learnt about the roast and grinding of the beans, and how to make and adjust for the perfect espresso shot. We then learnt about how to foam milk, how to pour beverages, and how to clean the machines.
Absolutely loved this interesting course!

Margaret Matta • Mar 2022

The class was very inviting lots of helpful advise on fabrics, cotton scissors pins,sewing machines, and lots more, that, i didn’t know of and i am familiar with sewing. Susan was amazing loved it.
Definitely doing the class again.

Cara Andrews • Mar 2022

Rena our teacher was amazing, she has a wealth of experience under her belt, she is super patient and explains everything well.

The materials provided were high quality and would definitely recommend her class to anyone wanting to learn how to make candles, start a business or just a team bonding event.

The class definitely exceeded our expectations.

Mary Rovero • Feb 2022

I have thouroughly enjoyed the class. Its was fun and insightful from beginning to the end.
I don't have much knowledge of good coffee. I only knew instant and sachets kind . But after having the class with Greg, he had shown us what a good coffee is and its depths. I will surely enjoy my coffee more, as much as I have enjoyed making it!
