    • David
      Beginner Barista - Manchester

      "The head office in Nottingham showed great patience and helpfulness with my need to book, postpone and then rebook the barista school at Manchester. I was able to attend the basic barista course lead by Ben. I thoroughly enjoyed the course as Ben has a depth of knowledge and great delivery of the theory and practical parts. I thought I knew a lot, but now I know there is so much more to discover and I will choose to do it at 200 again. Plus I will sample their fine coffees!"
