I attended the 2 day how to set up a coffee shop course: The course was excellent, I've worked with coffee for 10 years and what I learned there in 2 days really surprised me. A great insight into the whole bean to cup process and they teach great methods to ensure you get the best from your coffee, milk and machine! Day 2 was all about the business set up, location, number crunching and highly important the flow and design of your shop. There were lots Of things Youri and Stu pointed out which were vital in getting the most out of a customer each time they visit your shop. No matter how long you have worked with coffee i would thoroughly reccomend this course. Youri, Stu Thanks for help David

I really enjoyed the course and I now feel like I am prepared to open a coffee shop. Youri and Stu were brilliant and I look forward to working with them again. Thanks guys, I couldn't have asked for more. - Paul

We've just been to the Barista Training course recently and wow it was a trip that we will never forget. The training provided by Youri and Stu was amazing and thorough , compact yet easy to digest. It certainly gives us a lot more indept information and knowledge on coffee and of being a barista. It is a very well versed course and also suitable to beginners or home enthusiast. We will definitely be back for more very soon! Thank you! Soo & Yun See

Thanks to Youri, and too Stu too, I now know I want to pursue a career as a barista. Having took a one day barista and latte art course, I have learnt more than I could of just by trial and error. Youri's great enthusiasm and most definite patience when practicing latte art made the day a delight and the hours just flew by. I didn't actually want it to end. Everyone is friendly, and a great professional set up ensured for a wonderful day. When I want any advice, then Limini is he place I will look towards. Thanks again Youri, and Stu for a really wonderful, and informative day. If you want quality training then get yourself over there. Chris

I'm a few months away from opening my an artisan coffee shop and needed to gain a good understanding of 'what I didn't know' about the coffee industry and to demystify the world of Barista. Having been in business for over 25 years, it was important for me to find a company that would adapt and meet my needs without pretension and self adulation. Youri, Stu, Bex and Sam, all impressed me with their relaxed, professional approach and commitment to offering the best service possible. It was a good team effort. The course was comprehensive and met my needs totally and worth the 700 mile round trip!!! The highlight for me getting a clear understanding of what I didn't know and in many areas then filling that knowledge gap there and then. The approach of explaining the theory, demonstrating the theory and then practical application, left me feeling far more informed. A thoroughly enjoyable day. Thank you - David

I have just returned home from a full day's training consisting of a half day Barista training course and a half day Latte art course. What can I say - I had a fantastic day. Youri is an excellent teacher who is clearly passionate about his "art" and is able to pass this enthusiasm on easily. Both courses were practical hands on training but Youri also took time to explain the "theory" surrounding making a great cup of coffee. I started the course with a little knowledge about how to make great coffee (although my attempts were very inconsistent). I came away from the training being able to make great consistent coffee but also understand why it goes wrong. Even my latte art was recognisable instead of amorphous blobs. If you have any interest in coffee be it as a consumer (like me) or in a professional role I thoroughly recommend the two courses that I attended. Many thanks Youri and Samantha.

Having spent half a day with Youri last Friday, I was amazed by the easy at how he could create Late Art. He was patient and understands the how and why of all things Coffee, Limini Coffee evens roast there own coffee right in front of you ! now that's something you don't see very often. I enjoyed training with him and i'm sure that i will be back again... thank you - Rich

I recently competed my second course with Youri at Limini Coffee. I have now attended the barista course and the latter art course and I can honestly say that I am well and truly hooked. It's not just the beautifully fresh and unique coffee that they serve or the array of top spec machines that are available to play with or even the relaxed and fun learning environment that make these courses a great investment, but the clear passion for the art of making great coffee which is displayed by Youri and makes you leave the place dying to get back behind a machine and put your new found knowledge into practice. It's a clear must for anyone who works with coffee or who would just like to make great coffee at home. Thank you so much to everyone at Limini Coffee - Carl

What an incredible experience! I can't wait to put all I have learnt into practice. The course was very informative and lots of fun. It was amazing what we had learned in just two days, from the origin of the coffee plant to how it is roasted, Youri even demonstrated the roasting process which smelt wonderful. We all had fun using the espresso machine practising latte art and learnt a great deal about flavours and differences between the drinks. There was really so much packed in to the course on how to find the best location for your coffee shop, best layout, overheads and margins and so much more. I am surprised at how much I have taken in; there was not a dull moment. In my opinion I could not proceed with my coffee shop venture without the foundations of the course and the Barista training I received at Limini and their ongoing support. A huge thank you to Youri and Samantha. - Sally

I have just completed the 2 day course and just want to say a massive thankyou as was best experience I have had on any short course. Samantha was brilliant in dealing with my many queries prior to booking and Youri quite simply is an amazing trainer; so enthusiastic; welcoming and driven to ensure that each and every person gets the maximum out of it, a very rare talent. To anyone out there interested in idea of maybe opening a coffee shop or who just likes coffee (you will never taste better!), this is def course for you. You won't regret it. Thankyou both Samantha and Youri; I may not have seriously considered this as a career option beforehand but def do now; I think Youri's enthusiasm has def rubbed off; all I can think about is coffee since I got back!! I look forward to sharing my future plans with you. All the best David from Dublin
