Silvia was fantastic. I'd highly recommend this class. The description is spot on -- it's an absolutely beginner class. She takes you from how to grind coffee/work the machines, all the way through to how to add milk + clean up the machines afterward. I am new to Australia and espresso machines. I recently purchased one and had a million questions :) She thoughtfully and expertly answered all of them. The small class size means you get to really learn and experiment. The best part is the instruction booklet Silvia gives you afterwards so that youSilvia was fantastic. I'd highly recommend this class. The description is spot on -- it's an absolutely beginner class.

Take this class! + more

Silvia was really helpful and kind. She explained everything
thoroughly what to do from the moment you enter a coffee shop and prepare the machines, until cleaning and closing. The venue was a little hard to find, but we managed to find it by asking around. Overall the class was a really good value for money. She even managed to give us some tips on what to do on a barista job trial which is super helpful indeed. Thank you silvia!

Everything was clear, even for a beginner like me, I had fun learning the fundamental skills for brewing the coffee. Highly recommended to try the class out, plus, it's only two people (and the teacher) per session, which is just great. We can fully focus and stay active until the class ends.

I can highly recommend this class, learning from Silvia I was a great experience. As this was 1:1 we had a lot of time for me to practice the things I was struggling with. Silvia was very particular and also taught me a lot of handy tips to troubleshoot in case the equipment did not work as expected.

Really great class, would highly recommend to anyone getting into making coffee, either starting out as a barista or just at home.
Silvia really knows her stuff, is clearly passionate about making good coffee and was a very patient instructor.
The venue, although a little difficult to find, is a really lovely setting for the class.
A detailed booklet was provided so I've got all the notes I need to reflect back on the class.

Absolutely wonderful experience! We have never made any coffee before, Silvia started from the very basic, covered everything including lots of tips and tricks, the lesson was easy to understand, we had plenty practice opportunities, made and tried different type of coffee, by the end of it I can’t wait to buy my own coffee machine! Highly recommended!

I highly recommend this course if you (as a beginner) would like to learn the ‘basics’ (so no previous knowledge is required). This one-on-one experience means so much extra - I basically felt much more comfortable this way than just be one from the 15-20 students in a class.
Silvia is a very passionate, precise and conscientious teacher and she gave a lot of tips and hints, what I can instantly use if I will work in a coffee shop.
Thank you Silvia!

Silvia is very detailed and friendly. She really went through the basic so it's very recommended for coffee enthusiast with zero experience who'd love to know more the basic of coffee making. My class is on one one and I'm very satisfied with Silvia's class as I got to grasp so much. Thankyou for the hospitality, Silvia!

Silvia was very knowledgeable and passionate about coffee, and had a lot of experience to share. The venue was a well-presented café with very good and clean equipment. The content of the class was hands-on and in good detail. We learnt how to maintain and control the machines as well as how to get decent shots and quality milk. Highly recommended for people who are passionate to learn practical skills.
