The course was a gift from my wife because she knows I love my coffee and she wanted me to benefit from some training. The course was perfect for this, Luke pitched it at just the right level of practical and theory. I found him to be engaging, extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I would recommend the course to anyone starting out as a barista or who is an enthusiastic amateur like me. Thanks very much. - Martin Fry

Thank you Limini for really excellent training and all the resources you've given me. I really enjoyed my afternoon with Vicki, and I'm certain I will be in touch again as my venture develops. - Hazel Dowman

We have just completed the 2 day How to Run a Coffee Shop Course and it was brilliant! It exceeded our expectations and has provided us with invaluable knowledge and tools which we dread to think how we would have progressed without! Luke was our fabulous trainer, he was so knowledgeable and easy to chat with and we managed to cover so much information in a pace that was suited to us. If you are wondering whether to book the course we would be saying just do it - you won't be disappointed. Many thanks to all the Limini Team who were so professional & friendly from our initial enquiry through to delivery. - Lisa and Mark

Jackie and I spent two days with Luke on the 'How to start a Coffee Shop' course and we were very impressed with the structure and content. We can't fault the personal touch Luke provided and, the 2-on-1 format gave us ample time to observe, learn and practice while Luke is very adept at tailoring the course to suit your requirements. There's plenty of useful hints and tips, the course material is professionally produced and available to all plus, there's an abundance of extra material for consideration, too. Limini Coffee are obviously very enthusiastic and knowledgeable on coffee but in Luke they have the perfect person to demonstrate that ethos and vision. He's an excellent host and patient tutor and, that patience with us was finally rewarded when we both managed to 'successfully' produce some latte art! Overall, a very instructive and inspiring couple of days and I feel like a barista who can run a coffee shop. - David and Jackie Sutton

Thank you Luke, the course was very informative and we have learned a lot in the space of three hours - thank you! We are looking forward to our Coffee machine and to purchase some of your lovely coffee and become a chocolate cafe that sells really artisan coffee! - Ilze van der Merwe

Attended a full day training course with Luke in preparation for opening a small shop with take away coffee. We learned loads in the day and covered so much in a few hours with plenty of hands-on practice time . Luke listened to what we needed to learn and tailored the course to exactly what we needed and made loads of suggestions which was very helpful. Fully recommend a course at Limini if you are hoping to sell coffee and its amazing how much a beginner can pick up in a day with a Luke's tutoring. - Clair

What can we say? Everything about this experience surpassed our greatest hopes and expectations. Firstly, the help and support given before we even booked the course itself was above and beyond. Vicki was phenomenal in helping us not only overcome some major hurdles we had in our plans but also gave us the most honest and sincere guidance you could ever imagine in whether or not the course itself would be right for us. As a result we knew we'd found the right people and place to help us evolve our ideas. And wow, were we right! From start to finish our day was expertly managed, our MANY questions answered and the fun we had throughout was just the absolute icing on the cake. We had the pleasure of Vicki being our trainer on the day and there seems to be nothing this amazing lady doesn't know about coffee and the coffee business. She calmed our nerves and built our confidence all the while making us fully aware of every little detail, from making the best possible cup of coffee all the way to how to most our efficiently build and grow our business. Honestly, there really are not the words to explain just how fantastic we felt after our day with Limini Coffee. Even after an exhausting day of learning and thinking we couldn't stop talking about it for the entire 2.5 hour drive home! Thank you Vicki and everyone else at Limini, we're so glad we've got you in our corner for this journey and we'll definitely be coming back for more training soon! - Chris & Rebecca

Hi, what a fabulous day spent at Bradford. I was made to feel very welcome the training was very comprehensive and nothing was to much trouble. Coffee was great - I've found a company that shares my passion for providing fabulous coffee. I look forward to doing good business with you. Thanks - David Mather Topo's Coffee - David C Mather

I recently attended the 2 day 'How To Start A Coffee Shop' course that was run by Luke as I prepare to open a small record cafe in Glasgow. The course was both informative and practical, and provides a great balance between barista training and learning about many of the key business considerations involved in setting up a cafe where there will be a strong focus on coffee. Luke provides real knowledge and experience in his delivery, and successfully breaks down the practical aspects into simple easy to follow steps. I definitely feel more confident in my understanding and appreciation of espresso-making, and how best to manage and maintain the equipment. The course also provides a good introduction to latte art techniques for those who might wish to take there skills to a more advanced level. Luke also provided a number of great tips and suggestions that might work for my own business, and he has definitely given me plenty of 'food for thought' to chew over as I gear up for my opening next month! I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone who has never worked in a coffee shop, or to anyone who is thinking about setting up there own cafe but perhaps needs some direction and encouragement. - Oliver MacFadden

Had a great afternoon with Luke, nothing was too much trouble, he explained everything simply and made it easy to understand. I know having completed this course i have come away having much more confidence at running my newly owned mobile barista coffee business. Thank you :-) Highly recommend the training and the coffee - Julie Bailey
