I feel so lucky to have been taught by Adam. I was the only person booked for the session, and I really appreciated that he still went ahead with it. I had no prior knowledge of the coffee industry, but he made both the theory and the hands-on practice so easy to understand, and he tailored the training to what I needed. It was a privilege to learn from him, and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn about coffee in any way!

Adam was an excellent and friendly teacher. He explained things clearly and in a way that will be easy for me to remember. He didn't overcomplicate things for a 'home barista'.
