A great introductory course to coffee making and barista skills. This course is non-accredited, however it still went for 5 hours. This allowed Joel, the presenter to give an overview of the history and origins of coffee before diving in to making coffee.

There were 8 participants and we each had a machine and Joel was able to get around to all of us. We practiced different styles including Long black, machiato, latte, cappuccino, flat white, and piccolo. We also had time to try some coffee art, but this takes time to master.

It is a fun course and informative course, and if you don't need to spend extra money to be accredited and want an activity to do on your own or with a group of friends, this could be the course for you. It is also a good course to do if you need a refresher.

Fantastic class. I've known Joe for many years when I first bought a mirrorless camera and had one on one lessons. The class was fun and even as someone with experience I still learnt new things. Joe showed us F stops, ISO and shutter speeds but in the context of shooting at Vivid and using manual mode. How to get creative shots with Intentional Camera Movement (ICM). The group was small so there was plenty of opportunity for Joe to review photo's and make any suggestions if it isn't turning out how you would like. Overall a great, affordable workshop to give you more confidence shooting at Vivid. New friendships were made also. Thanks Fotojoe!
