Just completed the two day "How to set up a Coffee Shop" course. I found this very enjoyable and informative. It had the perfect balance between developing coffee making skills and the business side of things over the two days. On day 1 Stu very patiently showed us how to make the various types of coffees, how to warm the milk to the correct temperature, how to use the equipment, and how to make beautiful tasting and presented coffee. Day 2 concentrated on all things associated with finding the right location, negotiating lease terms & conditions, shop layout, recruitment etc etc. I found the experience fun, enlightening and helpful in my plans to open a coffee shop. Stu is is a quality presenter and a credit to Limini. Many thanks Muthenna

We recently decided to open a cycling themed coffee shop but having never had any experience of this sort of thing we began the research and came across Limini Coffee. And what a Godsend they have been!!! We immediately signed up for the 2 day "How to set up a Coffee Shop" course. On arrival at their studio in Bradford we were greeted by Youri and Stuart who made us feel more than welcome and the coffees flowed from there! The course gives you an amazing insight into all things coffee shop related. We learned how to heat the milk correctly using fairy liquid(!), learned how to make a great coffee, learned how to make a rubbish coffee but, most importantly, learned some really valuable business lessons as well. I cannot recommend this course highly enough if you are considering venturing into the coffee shop/cafe business. In the two days we spent with Youri and Stuart we picked up some wonderful hints and tips and we are really excited to work with them as we move into our premises in the next month or so. Youri has a wonderful sense of humour and has a great way about him - you really want to learn from him. Stuart undertook day two and is an absolute credit to Limini Coffee. Thanks ever so much Youri and Stuart and we look forward to welcoming you to Polocini Coffee Shop soon! Clare and Allen Polocini Cycling Manchester

What a great day we had with Stu. The atmosphere was so relaxing and informative. Attention to detail is what I liked about it. Practice,practice,practice is what it is all about however Stu gave us the "grounding" required to move on to that. The 1 day suited us as it was specifically tailored to our "venture". Many thanks.

I really enjoyed the two days: good training (informative and fun), plenty of good coffee tasting, helpful tips and conversations with other course members and overall friendly people at Limini Coffee who are really supportive and passionate about coffee. I would do it again! - Bernhard

It has been a fantastic experience for us. Pleasant designed course with lots of practical tips. Especially for someone who knew nothing about it, but at the end of the course went home with passion about coffee and with an eagerness to learn more. the afternoon spent learning coffee art was absolutely an unforgettable achievement and more than what we expected. Thank you so much. Andy

I recently completed the barista and latte art courses, run with great expertise by Stuart who makes amazing coffee and is a great instructor. The courses were both fun and informative. I'm seeing noticeable improvement in my coffee quality back at home. Highly recommended. Thanks to all at Limini. Stuart

Ooh my, what an amazing day! We roasted, we ground, we tampered, we extracted, we steamed, we were educated in coffee history production, ethics, and business but best of all we learnt how to form a coffee love heart on the top of a latte. Thank you to Youri and the team at Limini for helping me bring my dream of running my own business closer to reality. I would recommend the how to start a coffee shop to anyone thinking about branching out on their own. The course had a perfect mix of fun, education and practical sessions which were geared specifically to my requirements and I left feeling motivated, confident and that I had the skills needed to go for it. Not only was the day excellent the post course information and support is second to none. Thank you Limini Coffee. Ruth

Limini is a great company to deal with full stop. thanks Stu.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 1 day tailored training on how to start a coffee shop. It was really informal which allowed us to learn in a relaxed way. Stuart was the catalyst to this. The coffee was tremendous and as avid coffee drinkers it was the first time we really tasted a great espresso! It is also great to know that there is a whole load of support afterwards with links to tools and techniques setting you up for future success. Thank you. Nic and Jon

Had a fab time on the how to start a coffee shop 2 day course. Stu was great, made everything look so easy. he explained everything really well and answered all our questions, even the daft ones. It felt like he had all the time in the world to show you the ropes and tell you eveything you needed to know. On day 1 I went away feeling good at what I had learnt but was apprehensive in some areas, by the end of day 2 those fears had gone. I would deffinately recommend this course to anyone and will be going back with my staff for training once I set up my coffee shop as believe they should benefit from the high quality training I recieved, thats way we will all be serving top class coffee. The 3 other people on my course were really lovely and we all got on so well and helped each other. I feel I have learnt alot from them also. good luck Claire, Ashley and Emma. thanks guys, Amanda x
