It was good fun and learnt a lot even though I'm quite immersed in that world. George definitely walks the talk and knows his stuff. Very generous with time, so didn't bother bringing up the 100g/200g take home samples mentioned on the event page (x 3 tickets) - but I likely would have reordered if I enjoyed them.

Didn't give 5 star however as I just felt the high quantity of coffees tasted (about 12 or so) made each too similar for my undeveloped palate to really "evaluate flavour, aroma, aftertaste, acidity, body, uniformity, balance and sweetness." - what I was really after. Sensory overload and it all started tasting the same very quickly.

I feel I would have learnt better with 4 or 5 massively different roasts each accentuating a quality or two each.

Definitely a fun experience though - just feel (as did the two friends I brought along) like we're no better evaluating coffee.

Jacqui Lofgren Mar 2024


This was great. I pretty much knew nothing about coffee, and when I left I had a new appreciation for it. The host was great, and was very knowledgeable.

Nicholas Gleeson Mar 2024


The experience was awesome, George was a great host and very knowledgeable. Thank you very much

Fitzroy Sy Mar 2024


Very informative, good educational session. Roy was very knowledgeable and explained to us every thing. He was also very practical and provided tips to us.

Louise Ann Apostol Mar 2024


Learned a lot about coffee! From how it's made, processed, and how to do coffee cupping and tasting. Definitely enjoyed this experience, and the variety of coffee we tasted!

Dimitri Gotsis Mar 2024


I learnt allot and Casey was awesome, very open to constant questions yet kept the class moving forward with all the info we needed to learn the basics (yet complex) steps towards making coffee at home. I thought i knew what i needed to know and just needed some in person demo, but Casey gave us some info i have never seen online and explained in ways which were easy to understand. My friend and i had allot of fun and it was a great space too - very welcoming.

Jason Taylforth Mar 2024


Roy was awesome - very knowledgeable and helpful.

Talk us all a lot.

Probably a bit too long and by the end was pretty much over it & losing focus/concentration.
Also, with making so many coffees all I felt like was having one (and really badly by the end) but as I don't drink full cream milk and that was all we were using there was no option, i.e. it would have been good toward the end if we all got a chance to sit down and enjoy our own coffee (I understand that for others who do drink full cream milk they pretty much had a constant supply of coffees if they wanted to drink them).

Also, when I attended a previous class at Roastville (cupping) they gave out small bags of beans at the end which I thought was a nice touch - not today though (which was another reason why a coffee to drink would have been nice & appreciated).

Arbaz Khan Mar 2024


Great session! Very informative and happy to answer all our questions. Great to see the variety and how coffee is impacted by so many variables. We got to try lots of coffee and got a great understanding of the process from farm to cafe. Thank you!

Mary Hanna Mar 2024


A very informative experience. The host was very knowledgeable and provided a variety of beans to try.
If you have a love for coffee this is for you!

Madi Brittain Feb 2024


George was a fantastic host. He was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience highly enjoyable. We learned a lot about the coffee picking and roasting process plus tasted some delicious samples. If you love coffee or are interested in learning more than I highly recommend this class!

Rachael Lin Feb 2024


Felt like a private class when it was just the four of us, and whilst it started late, the head roaster was super informative and engaging! A very rewarding experience :)

Coffee Cupping Tasting Experience review by Rachael Lin - Sydney

Joe Wongchanglor Feb 2024


We got to cup 6 different single origin coffee and 3 blends. Very informative and interesting experience and very good coffee!

Greg Doutty Feb 2024


Excellent course and fantastic value as I didn’t realise how much coffee I was wasting making sour coffees; it was my lack of knowledge on how to make a good coffee. Not the “beans” but “operator error”. Tutor extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
Highly recommended!

Rob Pirillo Feb 2024


Instructor was fantastic. Great course for beginners and home barristers. Would recommend to anyone and will be.

Bridget Feb 2024


This was the second time we have done this cupping course. Highly reccomend. The knowledge George has is amazing.

Pius Lam Jan 2024


Good condensed course for general coffee making at home. Ideally to also include more on Moka pot method.

Pavlos Con Jan 2024


Casey proved to be an exceptional instructor, displaying a high level of expertise and facilitating an engaging learning experience. Due to several cancellations, our class evolved into a one-on-one session for both myself and my partner. Casey recognised my existing knowledge as a coffee enthusiast, which allowed us to streamline the discussion by skipping certain topics and delving directly into the subject matter.

I opted to bring my own jug, as it seemed practical for me to practice with my familiar tools. However, I appreciated the opportunity to use different jugs, including Casey's, which featured a sharper spout, revealing intriguing variations in pouring techniques.

The class proved highly informative, particularly in the realm of pouring and pushing art, a skill set that was novel to me. As Casey emphasizes, 'trust your milk.' I am eager to put into practice the plethora of new ideas gained during the session.

Thank you for a valuable learning experience!

Michelle Seeto Jan 2024


Really fun and educational experience to do with family! Learnt a lot about all the work and craft that goes into a cup of coffee - left with a much greater appreciation for all our local cafes :)

Chris Bolton Jan 2024


informative and fun. apparently I need to write 15 words or more, three more words

Brittany Mitro Jan 2024


We had such a fun time at this class. Learned a lot about how to pick what coffee you’d like and how to make a good espresso shot. The latte art was really challenging but really fun! Definitely need to keep practicing at home!

Juliana Garcia Guerrero Jan 2024


it was really good, they should have chairs to sit down for a bit hahaha, thank you so much! amazing experience

Claire Cheung Jan 2024


Amazing. We learnt so much from George (I think that’s the right name? Sorry if I got it wrong) about coffee. Started with talking about different coffee processing method and farming knowledge, then we smelled and tasted the coffee in different ways. Ending with some sample of beans. Time very well-spent and thank you for your passion in coffee

Thanks,

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!

We booked the whole coffee cupping class and invited a few friends along. We met for lunch at the cafe below ( lunch was really yum!) We all enjoyed the class and learnt a lot from George about coffee. George is clearly very passionate about coffee, he loves imparting his knowledge about coffee and how its processed etc. He explains very clearly and invites any questions throughout the class. Bonus was we all got a little bag of roasted coffee beans to take home!

Krystof Pavlis Oct 2023


Absolutely fantastic experience, George was really knowledgeable and welcoming, answering all questions anyone had. It was really interesting learning about different coffee growing, processing, and preparation techniques while trying a selection of specialty brews. Would highly recommend to anyone, especially as you can grab a delicious bite before/after at their wonderful cafe downstairs.

Kevin Tim Lee Oct 2023


Great class. Roy was a fantastic teacher that showed us the proper techniques and gave us plenty of opportunities to practice

George and Destiny were amazing
We were there to celebrate a birthday and the cupping experience was fun and informative. Thank you George for a great cupping class and to Destiny for looking after us with the booking and lunch. We will be back!

Andrew Gregory Sep 2023


Ron was very knowledgeable about coffee and was happy to answer questions and have conversation. The venue was a great location above the cafe, and had all the equipment needed. The coffee beans provided were top quality. I learnt so much about manually brewing coffee, something that seems easy but there is so much subtlety involved!

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.

Great class, teacher can be a bit clearer when speaking, not his fault, just the accent a bit hard to understand.

Xiao Chui Jul 2023


Roy was really passionate and patient with us. We could tell he has a lot of pride and love for coffee making and it really shows in his teaching style.

He was also very considerate of the level of experience the class was at and taught us a lot of the basics that we really needed.

Thank you Roy for making this experience so great for all of us

Super interesting, informative - you can tell that the instructors here really know their stuff! Would recommend if you've ever wanted to explore your daily drink a bit more. I'm by no means a coffee connoisseur but still enjoyed this class a lot.

Rob Saunders Jun 2023


Roastville hosted a brilliant experience and were super generous with their time and knowledge to really build life long fans of the coffee ecosystem and Roastville itself. I’d easily recommend this class to anyone vaguely interested in coffee and will be back again with other groups to enjoy tasting seasonal coffees

Dan Roebuck Jun 2023


Legendary experience would recommend. 10 of 10. George was a super nice and patient teacher

Sophie Gialouris Jun 2023

Sharath Rao May 2023


I had a really good experience learning about coffee origin, cupping and how it tastes and smells different based on the origin, drying, roasting etc. Highly recommend it for coffee lovers!

Joel Absolon May 2023


The instructor walked us though all the different coffee methods and explained why they cup coffee. Then when we went through tasting them all he explained how to do it and what we are looking for. Overall excellent

Jessica Dong May 2023


It was a great experience to learn about different types of coffee beans and different processing methods.

Lee Tan Apr 2023


Marvelous to have Roy instruct us on the fundamentals of steaming milk and starting latte art.

Now that the core fundamentals, it now comes down to practice.

Strongly recommend the course to anyone who wants to understand how baristas make such beautiful art.

Roy topped it off with a swan which was so impressive!

Learnt a lot at the Latte Art Workshop, was amazed at how quickly the 2.5 hours passed by, Ray (Roy?) was a very good teacher, very knowledgeable and patient.

George is so down to earth and humble. Amazing knowledge and he explains everything I’m such simple ways. Highly recommend this class.

Coffee Cupping Tasting Experience review by Joshua Kassis - Sydney

Nathan Hyratt Apr 2023


Roy was a great teacher! He is really knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. It was little tricky to understand him at times with his thick accent, but he never minded clarifying when necessary. I really valued getting to learn skills that will help me to troubleshoot my milk skills - knowing what I need to change when seeing a mistake I’ve made. Glad I did the workshop!

Duncan McArdle Apr 2023


The class was good, and I felt like I learnt a lot around a new process of latte art. We used the full length of the 2.5 hours, and we had a lot of time to practise (including a lot of coffee and milk) which is the sort of thing we just couldn't do at home. Roy was a good teacher, but he did tend to repeat himself a lot (it would take him 10-15 minutes to tell you something that only really needed 2-3 minutes, because he would keep repeating it). I would have liked something to take home (a cheat sheet sort of thing) as some of the timings are easy to forget / misremember.

Helen McKinnon Mar 2023


The class went for half an hour longer than expected, due to the presenter taking a long time to explain or answer questions. It was interesting to see how and why the cupping is done. Each participant received a bag if coffee beans which was unexpected.

David Oslington Mar 2023


Roy was great. Made everyone feel welcome. He knows lots about coffee, and chose to teach us the basics well.

Andrew Nguyen Mar 2023


The Latte Art session at Roastville, Marickville Sydney was awesome. The host, Roy - Head Barista, was such a wealth of knowledge. Awesome to be guided by someone so enthusiastic about coffee, hospitality business/culture.
If you love coffee / you're a home barista, and want to take your finesse to the next level - this is a great and fun experience. Especially with commercial grade machines at your fingertips in the workshop.
An area of improvement would have been better organisation? The cafe was really busy, so it was quite disruptive for the staff when we came for our Latte Art session. The workshop wasn't set up in advance, so myself and the fellow guests walked into a sauna, and the room never really cooled down to be comfortable. And no machines were turned on, nor materials like milk were prepared in advance.
Just a bit of preparation and organisation and team work would have made the experience top notch.

Evan Cooper Mar 2023


Was a great introduction to cupping! Would have enjoyed a little more detail on the cupping steps and to be guided with tastings rather than the free for all approach we had

Kanalli Meharg Mar 2023


Insightful info to behind the scenes of the coffee beans. Would love if you could have more volume of each taste

Madeleine Markson Mar 2023


Excellent class! Lots of hands on practice which was great fun. Would definitely recommend this class.

Ben Taylor Feb 2023


This is an excellent class for learning how to refine and pull a great coffee. The class is ran by Roy who is knowledgeable, approachable and makes coffee simple. Roy explains how to correct errors when pulling a shot, as well as explains why you get certain tastes with the coffee and how to fix them. You get about thirty minutes on the machines. I thought there would be more time, but I was not disappointed at all as I learnt a lot more through Roy's demonstrations and explanations. Highly recommended.

Angela Nguyen Feb 2023


Great class for beginners! Roy was a great teacher and we were given a lot of time to practice.

Linley Feb 2023


Great insights to understanding manual brewing

The experiment at the end of the classes brought to light all the technical content.

Great class. Thanks

Raymond Kan Feb 2023


Great workshop, relaxed teacher, small group of 4, practical focus on how to, why and how long, all to to achieve a better consistent brew, and simple guides to following recipes. Great sample pack of the blend we used in the class.

Georgia Hill Feb 2023


The course was very enjoyable and our teacher Roy was extremely knowledgeable! I highly recommend this course!

Very interesting workshop. Learned a lot about the extraction process, what makes the coffee sour or bitter, milk frothing and pouring. There is knowledge and proper technique with everything. Very passionate and knowledgeable trainer. Starting / finishing closer to scheduled times would have been better. A bit more tasting and comparison of different coffees could be interesting. Overall very good experience.

Really good class to cover how to pull an espresso, steam milk and pour simple latte art. Roy was really knowledgeable and Roastville had a very well equipped room for the workshop.

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

Jie Lun Nov 2022


Great teacher, Andrew explained the process thoroughly with encouragement and positivity, I didn't actually manage to produce a latte art by myself, but the other in the class did, so I'm assuming it's just my lack of technique, but I do feel like I learned a lot about what equates a good coffee and how theoretically it can happen.

I walked away appreciating coffee even more. We had time to ask questions at the end. It was tailored to the needs of the class at the time

Ernest Mo Oct 2022


The guy was very knowledgeable! But would have loved to get straight to the tasting maybe a tad sooner! Also our class felt a bit too large with 11 people

Taras Rymar Oct 2022


Overall the experience was great, however, I'd like it to be more structured and coherent

Coffee Cupping Tasting Experience review by Taras Rymar - Sydney

Brittany Lopes Oct 2022


It was great! I do wish it went for a little longer as I felt like there is so much more to learn but my partner and I had a great time cupping coffee and tasting.

Also wish we could have gone more into specifics of how to smell and taste certain aromas but maybe this is outside of cupping

Lissi Lee Oct 2022


Easy and Kind teaching.
Enough time to try coffee and art.
Thank you so much.

George had a deep understanding of coffee - all the way from seed to cup -which was clearly evident from the rich insights that he provided throughout the session. In addition, he spent extra time after then session to address the queries from the group. Definitely recommended.

Christoph was a exceptional teacher.
The venue was great; all materials and tools were provided and enough time to try out technqiues.
I learnt how to steam milk to get a silky texture which I had previously really struggled with, but Christoph provided expert advice on a simple method to get consistent results.
As a visual learner, I really appreciated the explanations of the concept/therory of latte art coupled with the demostration and constructive, real-time feedback on how to correct tecniques during the workshop. Leaving the workshop I felt more confident in creating silky textured milk and well on the way to building on my latte art skills with practice. Also, I won the latte art contest at the end, so I feel pretty proud!

Elmar Scott Oct 2022


Very good and clear teaching. Will definitely help me with work options thankyou for it!

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.

A great time, as someone who doesn't like coffee I was open to having my mind changed - and it was. Admittedly still not going to drink coffee, but it's nice knowing there's good stuff out there. Roastville aint messing around :)

Mrinaank Sinha Sep 2022


Very informative session, with an engaging and passionate instructor. Answered all our questions well, and I left with a newfound appreciation for specialty coffee.

Also natural >> fully washed .

Dean Taylor Sep 2022


Awesome little course and a very enjoyable way to spend a morning. Christos was a great tutor and took us from complete numpties to a level of knowledge we can now build upon on our home machine. The venue was cool, with a cozy vibe – there were 5 on the course altogether when my wife and I took part. The machines we worked on were professional-level machines you see out and around Sydney. There was a nice emphasis on supporting local businesses. And if you wanted you could even get advice on your first home coffee machine or upgrading from what you have. Very knowledgeable and friendly guy. And the food downstairs is damn good too but make sure you are hungry! Highly recommended.

Megumi Morikoshi 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.

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.

Equipment was readily availabile, size of class was good however would not of wanted anymore as the teacher was under the pump when some people required more help than others.

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.

the class was ok, though it's not so appropriate to taste the same coffee all together and wash the spoons in same cup under the Covid, just an advice.

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!

James Nguyen Dec 2021


Host was very knowledgeable, I now know how a coffee cupping works, and I found some coffees that I absolutely loved on the day, the West Arsi being my favourite, which to me had notes of blueberries and manuka honey (though the latter could just be me confusing the funkiness of the dry processing together with the caramel note, as manuka honey was not one of the tasting notes on the card). I walked away with a bag of West Arsi and bought a bag of the Pink Bourbon CM downstairs.

We had a great time, George our host, was informative, passionate & friendly. Obviously loved the job & sharing his knowledge. They say ‘find a job you love, then never work another day’ well that was George. The cupping experience was much better than I thought, I just presumed we would just taste the coffees. Do yourself a favour, spend an hour ‘cupping’ at Roastville with George, something different & fun☕️☕️☕️

1. One of water taps is wrong design, too close the edge of the sink edge, splashing water on the bench top.
2. It'd be better to improve lighting of the classroom. It is dark in the room.

Plus, it’s located at the cafe so you can make a morning of it with brunch afterwards

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.

Instructor was fantastic. Very informative class. Half of the class is a history of coffee including the supply chain and process from fruit to cup. The other half is brewing espresso and making white coffees. Very interesting throughout and enjoyable class.

Good class considering the duration, but I wish we practised more during the session. After all, practice makes perfect, am I right?

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 !

I thought Kunal was an excellent teacher. I really enjoyed the historical side of coffee making. Roastville was a good venue, easy to socially distance and with excellent facilities. A light meal was appreciated. I left feeling enthusiastic about not making “rubbish “ coffee again.

Great and highly recommended course. The teachers was awesome. Learner a lot. Will definitely be coming back for more coffee and education. Thanks a lot.

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!

The teacher was really nice and explained everything and helped us through the single steps. He had a lot of knowledge and loves to share it with his students. In the class, you learn everything about the basic steps and a bit of knowledge as well. It was really good and I thought I knew a bit about coffee, but I was wrong. Luckily I decided to take this class! Would do it every time again and I will take an advanced class when possible

professional and knowledgeable teacher, venue very cosy, thanx for dinner.
I got a taste of what has to be done and intend to do a lot of homework on my machine at home.
there is no point in having another workshop before really training a lot.
overall- enjoyable experience.

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.

It was a great class to get to learn about the taste of the coffee. I didn't know about the types of beans that could give a fruity flavour and now I know, which I am glad to have this lesson. One thing that could be improved would be the ways to taste the coffee, I didn't like the idea of sharing the same cups that has all the people spoons mixed in it.

Luke Hong Feb 2020


Awesome class and very knowledgeable teacher!
He shows you a variety of beans and the process of production to grinding, brewing and tasting. This is a very interesting class where you explore the subtle yet very different nuances of flavor

Jake and I have learnt so much about coffee culture. We now see coffee in a whole new light and will definitely appreciate the substance behind every single cuppa. Highly recommended. Small class of 4. We each had a complimentary pack of coffee beans after the class.

Derek Hambrett Feb 2020


Great, knowledgeable teacher. Smaller group size so much easier to ask questions. Highly recommend for any coffee enthusiast!

Sonal Atreja Feb 2020


He was really knowledgeable and had a lot to tell. He was kind enough to in detail answer all the questions asked.

May be the class could be of 2 hours so that we take enough of it. We missed the iced tea part which was really upset about. Eagerly waiting for the detailed recipe for the same and try it on my own.

Beatrice Jacinda Feb 2020


Very informative workshop. Andy corrected the basic common mistakes baristas make when steaming milk and pouring. Overall it was great but I’d hope to have more coffee machine during the workshop as there was only 1 machine so each of us had to take turns.

Andy was very knowledgeable and gave us loads of interesting information about coffee, its origins, and of course the art of steaming and pouring milk.

We did a standard cupping process, tasted a variety of washed and natural single origin coffees.

George was really patient in his explanation of all the knowledge you needed to be aware of for coffees and in carrying out the tasting.

We could also ask any questions we wanted, and it was clear how passionate he was in the art form of roasting coffees, and how much he was willing to educate people on coffee.

Will definitely be back for the other workshops that Roastville / George conducts.

Ying (Amanda) Dec 2019


Our teacher Andy is quite good, well explanation, everyone got chances to try on their own,too. He also gave us great advice, which makes us get better in other attempts. Highly recommend, it’s really value just come and have fun(●´∀`●)♡

Michael Krampitz Nov 2019


The instructors were very talented and examples were explained well.
The drawback was that a class of ten people only had one coffee machine to practise on. The workshop was useful as a tutorial but under equipped as a venue for practising and developing skills with Latte Art techniques.

Karen Wu Nov 2019


The teacher was experienced and knowledgeable. It was a bit crowded and at times hard to hear due to the noise from the cafe.
Great experience of learning how to do coffee cupping and the different filter methods and grind size.
Would have been great to be shown the variety of filter coffee equipment available for purchase. We were looking at the equipment ourselves and some were not shown in the class so we didn't know what to choose.
Lovely touch with a bag of coffee beans to take home.

Ara Perez Nov 2019


I'm joyous to have join thr Barista Class with teacher Andy. I learned a lot not just about the art of making king coffee but a lot more. Teacher Andy's a pro. Would definitely join another class from him. Roastville is an awesome cafe. You have to check it out while in Sydney

Bruce Anderson Oct 2019

Great fun and we went through a lot of coffee in all the practice. Also learnt how to drive a full blown commercial coffee machine.

Very friendly and informative. Explained things well and corrected us when we were making mistakes. Learnt techniques to make a heart, tulip and Rosetta. Only negative is I wish there were more machines so we can practice more. An enjoyable night nevertheless

Tania Koosasi Sep 2019

George our cupping instructor was amazing. Super down to earth and great conversation. We learnt A LOT about something we drink almost every day. Not only about coffee itself though, but the whole industry.

The venue was super authentic- in the back of the cafe where the (roasting) magic happens!

We had a bite to eat as well as a coffee recommendation from George in the cafe afterwards which was amazing (my friend said it was the best coffee he’d had in HIS LIFE.

Overall super positive experience- highly recommended. I may even go again if I have family in town visiting.

Alice Bae Aug 2019


It was so amazing class.
During the class, you could try variety coffee, get a lot of interesting things about coffee, and can see their fancy back stage for roasting.
Actually I'm studying about coffee, but even if you are just fan of the coffee, it will be good value to you. Really appreciate to 'D'.
By the way, it was my first time been there, so I was tried their coffee before class and after class, twice, it was sooo nice

The venue was well organised, maybe the teacher could comment about all the stuffs and machinery that was there.
Basically I learned more about the variable taste and flavors that we can find in a coffee at all different temperatures.
Thanks

King Fong Jun 2019


Experienced tutor! Fun class with good food. It would be much better to practice more!

Michael Tan Jun 2019


This was my first cupping experience and I enjoyed it so much. Our teacher, D, gave a lot of insight on the whole coffee process. I learned how different factors like geography and roasting time can alter the taste of the coffee. We had different varietals from across the world and D expertly helped us distinguish the nuances in flavor and aroma. I had a lot more appreciation for coffee after the workshop.

Johanna Guethler Jun 2019


Andi was really patience and passionate about showing us all different patterns and drawings with the latte art. He watched everyone of us individually and gave us tipps to improve our skills. We were a small group, so everyone got the chance to practice a few times. I learnt a lot of different techniques and tricks to improve my pouring technique. There was even some healthy food provided for our break. Thank you Andi

Richard Vergara Jun 2019


The class takes you through the journey of coffee making, starting from the beans place of origin all the way to the preparation by the barista in order to explain the role of cupping in context. D was fantastic, sharing his experience and knowledge as a barista while keeping a friendly and interactive atmosphere. A really enjoyable experience, thanks again D! Will definitely come back when I get the opportunity.

We were introduced to coffees from various origins (Ethiopia, Myanmar, other bits of Africa etc.), which we got to smell and taste. D the teacher was approachable and happy to answer any questions.
Materials provided for the cupping session included ground coffee from different beans (and Roastville's house blend), beans roasted differently (natural/honey process), bean skins and even a sprig with coffee cherries from their own coffee plant. Nice touch as people normally see their coffee at the very end of its production but rarely would recognise a coffee bean plant, or what the beans look like at intermediate stages of the process.
We ended up not really touching on the other factors by which to evaluate a coffee (flavour, aroma, aftertaste, body, uniformity, balance) except acidity and sweetness, but that's ok. All in a great experience. Really nice of the Roastville guys to run this workshop.

Our trainer Andy was definitely trying to engage us from the beginning. The class ran for the full 3.5 hours. Andy focused a lot on explaining his technique but the trade off was not getting much/any practice. There were 9 students & one machine with two steam wands so two people could practice at a time. That may sound like a fair ratio but I was surprised. In the entire duration, some people got to do up to 3 pours, others 2 and in my case 1. Baffling as it already was, I didn’t believe it was very fair as what determined the number of pours each person got to do was literally how students judged your art in a “smashout” between pairs. I agree that getting into the mindset of a being in a latte art competition (and focusing on theoretical technique) is useful, but not if we are unable to even try out the technique even once (i was given one go at the heart but not at the rosetta, free pour or even tulip after they were each explained). How different is this to watching video tutorials? Also it was established at the start that just about everyone in the class was doing this out of interest/ non professional reasons, so i really felt like there were no grounds for the lack of attempts/practice given.

Some food was provided which was a nice touch.

I came into class early and was all set up to give this class a splendid review, but the bottom line is: for 3.5 hours I only got one pour (doing a basic heart) and that’s definitely not what I paid/signed up for. And yes, I might have felt inclined not to leave such a review if everyone got the same number of tries, even if it was only 3 pours each.

Alex Larsen Apr 2019


This was a wonderful introduction to coffee tasting. I had always wanted to do a coffee cupping but felt intimidated by not knowing much about the process and how to taste. This workshop was relaxed and casual, but also really informative. I'd recommend this for anyone who's never done a cupping before and wants to learn more, and for those who have I think it's still a great opportunity to work on tasting and evaluating different coffees!

Miguel Hoyos Apr 2019

D was fantastic! He knew everything about coffee right from plantation to how you get the coffee into your cup. It was good to get to taste all the different varieties and notice the difference from their origin, harvet method and roasting qualities.

Heejin Dan Apr 2019


Class size was good and it was a good 1hour introductory class about coffee including tasting. After the class, you will get a good idea which type of coffee you like and what to choose. You can order your coffee based on what you learn from the class after(not a part of the class). Really appreciate for offering a !fantastic !+ !free! classe

Sharon Muir Apr 2019


Great teacher, excellent venue, some much to take in. I will definately appreciate my coffee more now that I know about the origin, processing and roasting of those amazing little beans

Useful, easy and funny workshop, basic theory everybody should know about before starting. I found all the class very interesting, a good balance between theory and practice. Sure in 3 hours you don't learn how to be a latte art master, but it's good for building up the basis to rely on.
The teacher is a champ. He really wants to help and he was absolutely available for any issue or question.

Thank you!

Julian Pogrebizhsky Feb 2019


The teacher was just extremely knowledgeable however for the whole 3.5hrs we only attempted 1 cup of latte art, very disappointed about that.

Maggie Vi Feb 2019


Andy’s teaching method was easy to understand and allowed us lots of time to harness and practice our technical skills with his expertise guidance. The class was interactive and fun - I especially enjoyed the “latte art smackdown!” Would recommend this class for both beginners as well as those with more experience looking to fine tune their skills.

Coffee class review by Maggie Vi - Sydney

Bar Amsalem Feb 2019


The teacher was good, the environment was funny and great.
Anyway I came to improve my latte art skills and it was theoretical and less practical ~ used actual milk just twice during 3.5 hrs. So if you're about to learn about the theoretical latte art this is the place for you.
For me it wasn't the best value for money anyway but nice experience.

Kris Hasenauer Feb 2019


Great location with awesome food and coffee. The class was interesting and informative. Our teacher was knowledgeable and passionate about coffee. Loved the decor too.

The teacher was fantastic and it was clear he was very passionate. We learnt a lot, but we also were expecting more of a practical component. Also, standing for one and a half hours was very uncomfortable and some more stools would have been very beneficial.

This workshop focused very heavily on the technique for pouring latte art, including details on the scientific aspect of how and why heated milk can be used to create designs. While this was useful information, it took quite a long time to explain and the instructor tended to repeat the same points multiple times. The workshop is advertised as needing no prior experience, however the first thing the instructor mentioned was that it would have been beneficial if people had attended the "Espresso Workshop" before attending this one.

We practised the techniques with water, which was a good idea as it allowed us to continue practising and adjusting our hand and arm movements (and the floor ended up getting quite wet!). However, after the introduction, explanations and water practise, no one actually got to touch milk until 7.30pm.

The workshop teaches three key designs, considered the building blocks of all latte art. We learnt the first of these designs before having a break (where we were fed some very tasty food!) but there was so little time left after the break that we had to rush through the other two designs. There were 10 students in the workshop, and all up over the 3.5 hours each student only got to attempt pouring with real milk and coffee once.

The instructor was very knowledgeable and skilled and had a warm and friendly approach. He made everyone feel welcomed and safe to just give it a go. The venue was good, although with everyone crowded around one machine I don't think it would be so comfortable with any more than 10 people. Overall the course achieved what I was looking for - to gain some knowledge of latte art so that I can go away and practise on my own. I do think it could benefit from a bit more structure though, to give students more chances to try out what they're learning.

This was a Christmas gift to me from two of my sons who also joined me. We are not barristers or involved in a café but just coffee lovers. Our teacher was Andy Liu. He was great. His knowledge and tips were well received and enjoyed by all. The venue was very good and the 3 hours we had was well spent. Driving home we were talking about what workshop will we do next with Andy.

Vincent was great! He has certainly done a lot of analyzing of coffee and latte art and it shows in his work and his teaching. I enjoyed learning from him as he has a true passion for it and they are the best people to learn from. The main thing I learnt was what my bad habits are and how to correct them, which is what I wanted to get out of it.

Such an informative afternoon. We loved learning about different coffees from George, who is clearly passionate about what he does. Great venue & great coffee. Will be back to try the food next!

It was really amazing time to learn coffee bean and different tastes each coffee depending on how to roast them. I found my favorite coffee as well. Thank you!

The training venue is a very good, very comfortable and very relaxing place. The cafe it self is a very good place for hanging out with friends, having a relaxing meeting with business client.
The teacher explaining a lot, more details explaining my question and give me more knowledge of tasting coffee. I am having a greatly experience to having a good cappuccino coffee from an excellent barista. It is highly recommend and good value for money.
I am greatly appreciate for having this class and many, many thanks for this opportunity, can't wait for the next workshop.

The teacher was amazing and very knowledgeable on all aspects of latte art and showed the class the 3 basic shapes: Heart, Tulip and Rosetta. The lessons were broken down in a very technical way which I found useful for practice and further development. We were trained on cup grip, milk jug grip and alignment, pouring technique like the angle of the cup, speed of pour, placement of pour etc. and milk steaming techniques.

All materials were provided and were of high quality with a range of milk jug sizes and shapes combined with a high tech commercial coffee machine.

The venue was inside the Roastville Coffee shop itself and it had a very earthy, chilled feel and was very clean with food provided half way through the course.

Value for money is subjective and I would say depends on how passionate you are about latte art. In this class, you're not just given a milk jug for 3 hours and aimlessly playing around but you are step by step trained in all aspects of pouring art and given expert tips from a barista champion and for me is priceless value.

I absolutely enjoyed the class as I knew absolutely nothing about coffee tasting. The venue was really nice and everything was nicely laid out. The technicalities were explained well on coffee cupping. However the teacher spoke too fast and assumed too much. E.g. he started off by saying 'you know how cupping works?' this is why we are attending this class Again we didn't really learn the flavour profileswe were told its mainly guess work. We ended up asking the teacher so many questions to dot the lines in between. I guess it was a free class so we shouldn't expect much. Overall I learnt something and am considering the barista course. Hopefully as it's a paid class the teacher would explain a bit more.

Such a great venue and experience! Who knew there was so much to learn about coffee, will definitely be analysing my morning coffee differently now. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and answering all the questions.

Great value for money. Andy was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. Loved his analogies :) Class was kept small which was good as I think it would be quite hard with a big group. I learned a lot!

Interactive element of the workshop was good but a bit too much theory at the beginning.

Rebecca Tikey Aug 2018


Andy was absolutely AMAZING. His passion 100% shines through when presenting all his beautiful teas. My friend and I loved everything we learned and we really enjoyed the afternoon. Can't wait to take his Coffee brewing class next!

Tom Jul 2018


Great 'cupping' experience, can't believe it was free of charge! We learnt a lot about how coffee is picked, dried and roasted and their unique flavours. We enjoyed trying the different types of coffee and even bought a bag of our favourite (Totora) at the end. Thanks Roastville!

Mirella Assoni Jul 2018


I gained a lot of knowledge and practice mr Andy liu was the best trainer i will give him 5 stars and looking forward for more classes with Andy

Kailey O'Loughlan Jul 2018


Andy was an awesome teacher - really funny and knowledgeable. He is amazing at what he does and we were in awe. The space is great and the coffee is delicious. We were provided with pizza as our light meal which was very tasty! There was a lot of hands on practice (with water) but it was great to have someone of his calibre show us the techniques. There are a few things that prevented me from giving five stars though. On Classbento it says that class sizes range from 1 - 6 students however we had 15 crowded around 1 machine which was okay when using the water for practicing but our class went 30 minutes overtime due to waiting for everyone to have a turn which actual milk. Also on Classbento it says you receive a gift bag which we did not get. I asked the owner on our way out and he said that it was a mistake. Overall a fun night with a lot of laughs and great company!

Andy was very informative and precise in helping us improve our milk frothing and pouring techniques. The classes could have been smaller as we were pressed for time and having more machines handy would have been good.

Very knowledgable teacher Andy, fun class and tea tasting. Would have loved to have more time hands on rather than on history of tea.

Venue and facilities were great and very modern. However I felt there was a lot of theory and not enough time allocated to put these skills into physical practice.

The teacher was super knowledgeable but often too quiet and I'd recommend asking lots of questions to get him talking a bit more.
It'd be nice if there was somewhere to put bags, and a bit more general organisation.

Very knowledgeable host. Full of information about tea brewing and also makes fantastic tea!
