TESTIMONIALS

James Bowie Course: Pro Barista 3 Days Overall Rating: Excellant

I felt the Barrista Course was thorough and covered not only the aspects of Barrista Coffee but some excellent logistics in marketing.
The course was paced to allow questions demonstration and practical.
Josh, gave me some practice routines I could do on my own to work on my own.
The course covered everything I needed to start me off on a solid footing.
If I had any questions or equipment requirements either Josh or Trev. offered me their expertise.
Overall the course was well taught, thorough and well organised.

Matt CHAPTER ONE Course: Pro Barista Overall Rating: Excellant

We were total novices & needed training from the ground up. We spent a full day going through all the fundamentals of brewing coffee on a commercial espresso machine & why they matter. We also tasted loads of coffee & discussed how the brewing process can effects the final taste of the drink a very hands on course & learnt loads would highly recommend.

Mark Course: Pro Barista 1 Day Overall Rating: Excellent

I felt that Josh did an excellent job of tailoring the training to our needs and prior experience. I learned a lot of new things, and I now better understood some thing that I thought I already knew.

Particular highlights:
* Looking at the differences between washed, honey and natural processing and the effect on the green beans and the roasted beans.

* Espresso brewing. How to tell the difference between under, over and correctly extracted shots. How to prep the basket with minimal steps to get a good result. How to judge if the basket has correct dose and how to judge the quality of a shot.

* Milk preparation. How to get the basics of milk steaming. I've been practising what I learned and I'm now getting much better at it.

Josh and Trev also gave me plenty of really useful advice about my plans to set up a coffee cart. It's great to get these insights from people who know the industry.

Tim Male Course: Pro Barista 3 Days Overall Rating: Excellent

From the first min to the last was treated exceptionally well. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Loved the mix of theory and 121 training/feedback and coaching to real time ‘on the job’ experience. Josh is able to mix genuine knowledge and experience with a calm and reassuring manner that makes learning fun. When working the shop he was brilliant and judging when to give me time and space to do the work…and yet I knew he was listening, making sure I was/all was ok. Highly recommend it!

Mary Evans Course: Pro Barista 3 Days Overall Rating: Excellant

I would like to thank you and Josh for a most fantastic 3 days. The enthusiasm and knowledge from Josh made it so interesting, being a complete novice Josh pitched it just right and I was hooked. The hands on training was also perfect, loved seeing the passion from your regular customers and having the chance to make the variations you offer. I have tried to think of constructive feedback in what you could include or miss out, but, for me it exceeded expectation.
My only regret is I completely forgot to buy some coffee as I left Huge thanks again to Josh for everything.

Mrs Sanders Course: Pro Barista Overall Rating: Excellent

Attended the Barista's course with my daughter who is looking to find work in this area. It was a very enjoyable day and we has a positive learning experience. The course starts from explaining where the beans come from to serving up a latte and everything in between. Josh was very knowledgeable and never failed to answer any of our questions. Would recommend.

Pete GERRY'S BAKERY Course: Pro Barista Overall Rating: Very Good

A group of 4 from our team went on the 1 day Professional Barista Course. We were all at different skill levels & our approach to making espresso based drinks was all different. After the course we were all following the same process, preparing all the different drinks the same & had improved our milk steaming technique & espresso brewing across the board.

Simon Course: Home Brew Overall Rating: Very Good

I attended a 'Brew Better Coffee at Home' course at Smith St. I got a Sage Barista coffee machine as a present & have also enjoyed brewing on a V60 as well for a number of years & wanted to improving my coffee brewing skills & understand the process of brewing coffee better. the course content was great we covered every aspect of coffee brewing in great detail & also practise our espresso & filter brewing technique loads
