We really enjoyed this intimate cupping class, the instructor’s coffee knowledge was impressive and his passion for coffee (and providing good quality coffee to his customers) was evident. He was generous with his knowledge and also their beans as we got to take home some sample bags!

The class was very fun and informative! They taught us the science and technique behind latte art that let us understand how it all works! Roy was a great instructor, very knowledgeable and was always happy to help.
My partner and I came out of it very keen to keep practicing and get better. We had a great time!

George was an amazing host. I learned so much. Had a meal afterwards and the service and food were exceptional. This was an amazing experience I won’t forget.

This class was great fun. The instructor was great at what he does and had answers for every question. There was plenty of time to practise our late art and drink plenty of coffee along the way.

My first ever cupping session it was hosted by the head roaster and the owner himself, George.
We were given 10 different coffees, single origins and blends. We got to smell, taste, and taste again, and just got more confused basically It was fun, and real lot to digest!
George is very very very kind to share and answer all of things I want to know. His passion and love of coffee is contagious. It's just coffee is a very complex thing to comprehend in such a short time, morever I'm a noob! It's a long learning process.

I really enjoyed this class. The teacher was kind, patient and had so much knowledge. While giving us the necessary technical knowledge in a way that was simple and easy to understand. I highly recommend this class, great value for money. While my art is not perfect I know have the information I need to practice and perfect.

Great instructor, thoroughly enjoyed learning about the techniques of steaming and pouring milk, and how cups can make a difference in the taste! Highly recommend this for everyone
Kotone Kihara • Jan 2023
It was really beneficial class. I could learn how to make espresso, to steam milk with using machine. My class was four people so had enough time to use machine practically. Moreover I could learn how to draw late art, and make about four coffee by myself. I would like to introduce this class to who want to learn comprehensive basic skill and way to make coffee.
At the end, Thank you for the useful and enjoyable class
Jesse Hele • Jan 2023
Roy was great! He took his time to explain theory and answered all the questions with great knowledge and insight. Facility was easy access with street parking and everything provided, friendly service.
Cynthia Lam • Dec 2022
Educational class. Roy was a great instructor and was very encouraging. Also very accomodating to use of alternative milks.
Hanna Whydle • Oct 2022
An amazing morning! Andrew was brilliant and super encouraging. It’s was so much fun, would 100% recommend
Taras Rymar • Oct 2022
Overall the experience was great, however, I'd like it to be more structured and coherent
Lissi Lee • Oct 2022
Easy and Kind teaching.
Enough time to try coffee and art.
Thank you so much.
Maggie Lawlor • Oct 2022
Great experience - we learned a lot! Our host was generous with his time and info.
Cadmus To • Oct 2022
Our host was George, who is passionate and knowledgeable about coffee. I think we had 10 different beans to taste today with a range of aromas and flavours. I would recommend this to others who have only been having "regular coffee" because specialty tastes pretty different. One thing that was obvious to me is that there is much less of a lingering taste (a bitterness) after having these coffees.

Andy is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher - he is very encouraging and gives everyone great feedback on how to improve. Small class (three) with a never ending supply of milk to practise, learnt a lot. Great experience!
Francois Euzet • Sep 2022
Andrew has been such an amazing instructor! It is inspiring to see how passionate he is in what he does and is very knowledgeable with everything about coffee. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to have a great start in understanding the art of proper coffee making. I'm making sure I will be inviting him as well to our wedding!
Eve Choi • Aug 2022
Christos was very informative and helpful. We could tell he was highly experienced and passionate about his craft. We are now getting set up with drip coffee and look forward to trying a bunch of blends!
Gail Miles • Aug 2022
This class was well worth it - I learnt a lot. From how to make the perfect espresso to frothing the milk & making designs. The teacher knew what they were talking about. It was a small class which was great. I definitely recommend this class for beginners. I walked away knowing I can make decent coffee art, & feeling confident to do so. Practice makes perfect. Can’t wait to make my next cup!

Thank you for the great experience and informative class! Georgie was great and opened one eyes to different coffees and flavour notes. The coffee was also delicious and the Whitehouse blend was a favourite.
Jarize Loyola • Jul 2022
Good decision to attend this class. Andrew is our teacher and he explained everything very well. He pays attention to every students and guided us on how to do things properly like from coffee extraction, dosing, milk frothing and latte art. I also like that the class is not crowded were only 4 students on this session which is good.
Neha Vasant • Apr 2022
The class was very good . The location was great and the teacher was excellent! He was very patient and very keen on teaching extremely well and made sure we practiced enough to go to the next step
We learnt 5 types of latte art , texturing the milk to the right consistency and texture and couple of other techniques
I would highly recommend doing this class !
Helen Lee • Apr 2022
the theory was easy to follow and well-explained, definitely helped grasp the concepts and transitioned well into the practical part of the class. Dougie, our teacher, was so lovely and gave time to have one-on-one lessons with each student, so by the end of it everyone got the results they wanted. if we ran out of milk or beans he would refill immediately so we didn't have to lose any time on practising. I could not praise him more, a truly genuine and caring guy.

Amazing experience! Good for people just that regularly drinks coffee and wants to understand it better! You get beans too! Worth it!
Gustav Sjöberg • Feb 2022
Dougie was amazing! Super personable, a good listener and let us be hands on during the class! He has an incredible amount of knowledge. We learned a lot and the time went by so quick. 2.5 hours felt like no time had passed at all. Would highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn more about coffee, using a barista machine and learning how to create latte art!

The main reason why this is rated great is because Kunaal is an exceptional teacher.
He is passionate, yet laid back and knowledgeable in a humble way.
The Roastville “lab” upstairs was comfortable and felt like a science lab where blends and single origins are created. Since it’s was a very small group we had a La Marzocco espresso machine each!
We learnt a lot about the coffee making process, asked a lot of questions and got great answers to everything. This preface to the actual Latte Art making was really great on its on.
Kunaal is on Instagram as @kunsin - but hope he creates a YouTube channel sharing his expertise…I’d watch it!

Great experience! Learned a lot about brewing, a lot of practical stuff to improve how I brew coffee at home. Kunal was super lovely and knowledgeable. I’d recommend getting there early to have breakkie at the cafe beforehand (I do not advise doing this afterwards as the cafe is super busy around brunch time!).

Join the Latte Art Class at Roastville Coffee is the great experience ever.
The trainer is really patiently to teach us and you can easily pick up the information you needed to learn as a starter. Lots of fun, highly recommend it for those want to appreciate the fine art of coffee.
Nikki Chavez • Dec 2020
It was an amazing session. The venue was nice, easy to find. Small class size than other classes so the instructor has more time to answer our questions and assist us. Very engaging. The instructor was very knowledgeable and experienced. We used amazing machines from grinding the beans, compacting, extracting the espresso, texturing the milk and even rinsing the milk jug. All were automatic and very nice machines so we can work on fast pace and concentrate on our latte art. Very good experience.
Ricky Huynh • Dec 2020
I highly recommend this class! Max was so thorough in teaching us the theory for pouring the art. He also worked very closely with each person helping them to fix their pouring and steaming. The venue also provided an excellent meal for our break so we felt nourished and able to continue making latte art. All in all, highly highly recommend!
Matthew Evans • Dec 2020
Really enjoyed the class. Now I wfh have bought my own Breville coffee machine and wanted to learn how to do coffee art - but learnt so much more. Thanks!
Kerry Danaher • Dec 2020
Kunaal really knows his stuff and how to share his passion with the not so knowledgeable. I was amazed Kunaal was able to cater for the various levels of experience in the group so well, it was a very collaborative season. Venue was perfect, nothing virtual about the experience at all. Supper was unexpected and delightful. The journey had just begun. I will be back for more tips, tricks and trade secrets for sure.
Rose Dearinger • Nov 2020
This Latte Art course was absolutely perfect for my skill set, I definitely achieved what I wanted from this class. There was no messing about with basic coffee machine operation - straight to business with how to texture milk and free pour beautiful latte art. I went from absolute latte pouring novice to being able to control a heart and a leaf !
Jasmine Chen • Oct 2020
Kamal is a great instructor and always checking in to clear up any doubts. Would be great if there is more feedback as to how I can make better coffee.
Sophie Ko • Oct 2020
Beautiful place, nice coffee and delicate teacher! I was really happy to experience the best facility, materials and food.
Malek Elzein • Aug 2020
This was a great class. Making coffee is fun, doing latte art is challenging but when you are able to get that pattern in your cupthe coffee just tastes better.
Kunaal was great and has a wealth of experience. He provided great tips and advice about coffee and latte art. Definitely taught me more about how to get the art right.
The venue was great, had a nice cosy atmosphere. The equipment was amazing.
The class was so much fun and enlightening, I'd definitely do it again.
Latte art is a constant learning game and I definitely learnt more than I could from watching videos online.
Highly recommended!
Alena Cuevas • Aug 2020
Really loved the class! The teacher was great! Taught a lot of information and keen to answer all our questions. We even get to take home a bag of Gesha coffee beans! Will definitely be back!
Yin Tun • Jul 2020
The teacher was very helpful and friendly, displaying great knowledge about coffee and what goes into it. It was also a lovely venue. We learned about the basics of latte art (heart, tulip, and rosetta patterns).

Really fun class and our coffee coach was really kind and approachable. Learned heaps in just 2-3 hours and was so wired from the coffee. They even gave us a free bag of coffee at the end to take home, which was awesome. Would highly recommend this to anyone.

Teacher was knowledgeable and able to provide instructions and feedback constructively. It was a fun class and a light dinner was provided which was nice. Lost count of the number of coffees I was able to make so even though there was only one machine for the 8 of us we still got ample opportunities to practice!
Yumi Yong • Jun 2020
Andy is super nice and friendly, offering not only kind explanations of coffee’s history and changes of all different styles but also dinner! I would definitely love to take another course of his. I had a bunch of questions and he answered really nicely until the end. Thank you for being such a nice teacher, mentor, trainer for me.
Mandy Hu • Jun 2020
Andy is so charming and professional. He gave great advice and guided everyone to make improvement. We learned basic skills, how to make heart, tulip and rosetta with commercial coffee machine. He also did demonstration on another level.
Highly recommend, will definitely attend for the further course.
Li Liou • Mar 2020
Andy is very friendly and patient. He explained everything very clear and detail. It’s a helpful course for me and my boyfriend. The course also provide some light food while break time!
Christian Whittaker • Mar 2020
A great interactive class. Our host Tien ensured all participants got involved. We all now have a better appreciation of the life of a Barista and the art and skills required to perfect a good tasting coffee.
