Great course for learning the fundamentals of making great coffee. Miguel, the teacher, is extremely knowledgeable, kind and has a great taste of music.

Wow! What a great session with Miguel! I recently bought an espresso maker for my home - and reached out to Veneziano for one of their courses. Miguel spent a lot of time helping me understand each of the variables that affect coffee taste, and we spent a lot of time refining all the details. Since the course, my espresso skills have skyrocketed - and I have a greater appreciate for coffee! Highly recommend the course by Miguel.
