Just had an excellent day with Stu on the Barista and Latte Art courses with the simple objective of coming away from it with enough knowledge and skill to make an excellent cup of coffee. I learnt this and a whole lot more! Stu was very patient with an excellent, relaxed tutorial manner and managed to keep me engrossed from start to finish (not easy with my span of attention!) and thanks for the info on selecting suitable machnies for my set up. A big thanks to the warm and welcoming gang at Limini and I thoroughly recommend anybody to attend one of Limini's courses if they want to see and learn how the experts do it. Thanks, Mark

If you want to open a Coffee Shop, this is the most vauluable 2 days you will every spend. The teaching, facilities and expertise are first class (and so is the coffee!) This course will give you information you are most unlikely to uncover elsewhere and will provide a strong foundation for any business venture. And - it's great fun too! Stu and Youri make learning a pleasure and show you what coffee should taste like. Thank you both.- Doreen

I would recommend this course to everyone who is thinking or are already working in a coffee shop. Stu who taught us, surely knew his stuff and made the course enjoyable and worthwhile. I had lots of practice to get it right and as much coffee as you could drink (maybe too much). Only joking. I e-mailed 5 different Barista training centres and Limini are the only one who got back to me straight away. Bex who booked my course was efficient and very helpful. Well done everyone at Limini, Excellent day and I have come away with alot of knowledge. Mark

This course exceeded all my expectations. A great set-up in a relaxed setting with a small group. And more great coffee than you can physically drink. Perfect. Stu, our barista trainer, was able to tailor the course to each of our individual needs. I feel so much more knowledgeable about every aspect of coffee making now, and understand the basic underpinning principles - just need to practise and practise, which I'm more than happy to do! Thanks to all the team for a thoroughly enjoyable day. Ryan Mathew. P.S. Definitely harder than brain surgery

As Youri and Stu noticed, I arrived really nervous. I didn't really know what to expect. Within minutes, I felt at ease and was more determined to enjoy the experience. Such lovely people! As well as that, they were so patient with somebody that had absolutely no experience in neither business nor coffee making! I did make the heart in the end though and even faced my phobia of numbers!! I'll be honest, I hadn't a clue about what was involved in setting up a coffee shop, but now, I realise, it's not going to be a walk in the park! However, with the knowledge that I can email Youri and get advice throughout my journey, has given me more confidence - although, I know there is a long way to go! Absolutely brilliant place, lovely people and I feel more up for the challenge for sure! Thank you to Youri and Stu for (a) making me feel at ease and (b) teaching me with so much patience! You have a fab set up there! Can't say thank you enough! Caroline

After 25 years of buying and cupping coffee for one of the UK's leading roasters, I decided my barista knowledge was far too limited. Attending a course with Limini has changed all that. Within four hours I was confidently pulling great shots, creating amazing micro-foamed milk and almost presentable hearts on my lattes! The informal atmosphere coupled with excellent instructions from the tutor (in this case it was Stu) made for a perfect training session in which I learnt a lot more than expected. Thanks a million.

Dear Youri, your Limini blend coffee is heavenly. Thank you Vic Holmes and family

A great introduction to the art of coffee and the science of the coffee business. Youri and Stewart were both excellent.

I had been given the Barista training course as a birthday gift from my family - although I only have a simple Gaggia home machine. No problem! There were 4 of us on the course and the experience of learning the art of coffee making on a professional machine was something I could only have dreamed of. Youri and Stu were patient and fun and took us through all the elements from beans to ground to cup - with emphasis on correct milk steaming! Fantastic! Nothing was too much trouble and I even got to check my own grinder setting against the mighty machines! In the afternoon i went on to the latte art course. Just 2 of us this time - which meant we had so much time to practise with Stu patiently guiding. Lots of fun and all I need now is more practise, practise, practise. Thanks Youri and Stu for a most enjoyable and productive day. David

We attended a private 1-day course, and enjoyed every minute. It provided us with the knowledge and know-how on the steps to setting up and running a successful business, positives, negatives, encouraging yet realistic. The private course was wonderful because we could really concentrate on our individual project, Youri & Stu adapted the time efficiently to allow time to be spent on the areas we were most concerned about. And last but not least...the coffee...wow!! fantastic!! Youri and Stu were professional yet and captivating instructors and we hope to see them again soon when we set up shop! Thank you so much, Jenny & Liz x
