I just finished the Barista Level 1 course yesterday and I have to say it was great. I got the course as a gift and I had no idea what to expect. After the first few minutes I knew it was going to be a great experience. I like coffee a lot and I was craving information on how to make good coffee. And this is the place to go. You'll get a lot of information not only about coffee but also about how it all works, how good coffee should taste and what it can all affect. Of course, at the end you get to try everything out and make coffee for yourself.
Really enjoyed the Barista Level 1 course. Calvin was very thorough and patient, and made the class atmosphere a safe place to learn and make mistakes.
Wonderful class! Les shared wonderful insights on the history of coffee culture and secrets of making excellent espresso in an efficient and consistent way.
