I thoroughly enjoyed the one day course and left motivated and feeling much more confident. Youri managed to create a very welcoming atmosphere and at the end of the day we definitely felt that we learnt a lot! He patiently answered all our (endless) questions and made sure to guide us with all the important aspects a coffee shop business involves: finance, marketing, staff management and of course, the coffee making itself. He is not only knowledgeable but also very passionate about what he is doing and keeps a perfect balance between sound explanation and enjoyable hands on practice. I particularly enjoyed the explanation about coffee roasting and different blends and of course, the actual making of the coffee. I had'€™t been near a coffee machine before, and at the end of the day I was feeling quite confident and really looking forward to practising more. And the best? The coffee itself, of course! I have been missing it ever since, it must have been some of the best coffee I have ever tasted; so I am determined to make this dream happen and, with Limini'€™s help, spread and share the joy of perfectly made coffee!

Before going on the "How to run a coffee shop" course, I felt about 50% excited and 50% terrified at the thought of opening a coffee shop. Now I'm about 90% excited! The pace was unhurried, and mixed useful theory with the practical skills necessary, but I was amazed at the amount I covered in a single day. Stuart was a great tutor, who really knows his stuff. We drank a lot of coffee! - Chris

I loved the course, it was great doing the one-to-one session as I could tailor it to concentrate on the bits I was more interested in. Stuart was great, and made me feel very relaxed, also Stuarts coffee was superb! I got to practice some latte art which was a bonus, was not expecting to actually get to make coffee. The Limini coffee own blend is divine, literally the best I have ever had. The support the give afterwards is great, they email you a part of the Allegra report which I was particularly happy with and numerous spread sheets to help you with pricing, P&L ext. The course was just great! - Kellie

We loved the course. It gave me a much better understanding of coffee and provided loads of useful pieces of advice and information which can be used at home. The equipment is top quality and the tuition informal but packed with information. I'd definitely recommend it. - Jamie

Everything about this course contributed to making it the best course I've been on! Youri, your teaching style is spot on, don't ever change it. Effortless, relaxed, funny and focused. The small group sizes made it feel like I was getting one to one teaching whilst still learning with my peers. The training studio is so well thought out, really simple but everything we needed, from the group area to those fabulous coffee machines. Youri taught me loads on this course and the most important lesson I learnt was that it's actually not the right time for me to embark on this project and I need to give it more thought and make sure it's the right thing for me. This is exactly what I wanted from this course. Having said that, the highlight was making the coffee, I actually really miss making cappuccinos and when I go into the coffee shop now I want to get behind the counter! The Limini coffee was also delish! I haven't tasted a cappuccino that nice since. Thank you Youri and thank you to your wonderful team who provided impeccable customer service. SJ

I participated in the full day course consisting of both the barista course and additional latte art training. The course was both fun and informative with all levels of expertise and knowledge catered for. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who is passionate about coffee or, like myself, looking to become familiar with the workings of an espresso machine and gain further personal skill sets. Additional praise should be given to my instructor Stuart as his patience, passion and expertise with everything coffee related shone through as well as being a down to earth and top guy. Many thanks - Gavin

Just finished my introduction to roasting course and wanted to say how much I enjoyed it. Though it is a comparitively new course for Limini it felt very well structured and with Youri's extensive experience and comfortable teaching manor my expectations where fulllfilled and I thought the day flowed well. Although it might seem a lot for 1 day having done it i feel it was excellent value for money. Youris passion is infectious and his office team are extremely welcoming. Highly recommend Limini in all respects.Thanks - Andrew

An excellent course and an excellent trainer. Stu lead the course superbly, he is very knowledgable and a skilled 'barista'. I would recommend the 2-day course to anyone with an interest in opening a coffee shop. Stu has given us that much needed added impetuous and confidence to move forward and we are actively looking for a property so that we can put some of his brilliant ideas into operation. Thanks Stu. We will definitely be using some support from Limini in the future. Dave and Catherine

The course was brilliant, I feel that I learnt lots today about how coffee is made and how different factors affect the quality and taste! I now have a much better understanding of how to make a really good cup of coffee! The latte art in the afternoon was also brilliant and helped me to learn how to steam milk consistently well. It was taught really well with plenty of humour and great one-to-one help! I would definitely recommend this course! - Elly
