Reviews from our lovely customers

Luke was our lead for the two day coffeeshop training we underwent. He was personable, savvy, professional, and absolutely passionate about coffee! He made the entire course enjoyable and we really appreciated his thoughtful input to our questions and his overall knowledge of the course materials. He is a true asset to Limini! That being said the other staff we came into contact with were extremely polite and welcoming; a huge change to what we expect in London (smile). The practical element of the course was intense for a complete novice like myself, who (as a tea drinker) knew very little about coffee at all. Yet I left with a clear understanding of how to identify and make good coffee; what the differences were between the likes of a cappuccino and mocha; how the machinery operated and their purpose; not to mention having the opportunity to delve into the wonderful world of latte art! All in all, it was a great balance between practical and theory. The course materials have already taken us strides ahead of where we were, and we still have lots to peruse several weeks after the course. My only complaint is that we didn't find this course sooner! We trust this is the start of a wonderful relationship with Limini, as we expect to send our staff for the same training.

Great course for giving an overview of the complexities of coffee and for learning how to prepare the main coffee drinks. I chose Limini as it had a comprehensive course which included all the coffee drinks and how to make them. - Carolyn Timms

I am so glad I took the course with Limini Coffee. Luke was enthusiastic and encouraging in his teaching. The detail provided on the day and resources I now have access to, make the course excellent value for money. I left feeling inspired and motivated to make the dream a reality! - Jessica Field

The course was brilliant, really boosted my confidence in believing i can actually do this, with a lot of practical info to get me started. And the information pack is amazing... all in all, well worth the money. - Emma

My wife gave me the course as a present. I'd talked for sometime about doing a barista course in order to improve my coffee making skills at home. Wow, what a great present! My trainer, Luke, is an experienced barista, personable and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of coffee, from the unground beans all the way through to magnificent cups of coffee. I really had no idea about the difference between freshly roasted beans and less recently roasted ones nor the three different tastes that make up an espresso!! All this was completed, one to one, with no pressure to buy anything, not that they have machines to sell anyway. However, if you want advice about anything to do with coffee, it is willingly forthcoming!! Try this course for yourself, you will be educated and amazed like me! - Rob Pratt

We attended the opening a coffee shop course and we are delighted with the knowledge that we received from the course. Our trainer Luke was professional, clearly very experienced and delivered the course in a very relaxed and enjoyable fashion. As we are in the very early stages of our path to open a coffee shop we went away wide eyed (with enthusiasm and overload of excellent coffee) and once up and running will hope to make further training with Limini. - Mark & Marianela

I cannot recommend Limini enough, especially Luke who gave me 1 2 1 latte art training. He was really thorough and took the time to teach me the whys of coffee, not just the hows of the milk. He was really positive and encouraging all the way through and I came out really pleased with what I've learnt. I would absolutely recommend Limini Coffee and will be taking another trip all the way from Sussex again for another course. Thank you! :-) - Kate Richings

I enjoyed a great training morning with Luke. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and skilful. The session was also fun, with many attempts, at last with success, to make more than decent coffee. Practice makes almost perfect. I rushed home to make more shots, with and without milk. Already producing better tasting coffe, with the same equipment. Many thanks Luke - Mike

This was a superb day of training - our trainer (Luke) was interested in us, our level of experience and our plans for the future, and adapted the training accordingly (e.g. cutting back the barista training to spend more time on the practicalities of setting up a viable business). We came away with a practical plan for setting up our coffee shop, loads of useful resources (e.g. demo business plans; spreadsheets for calculating all costs), and an appreciation of what makes a really good coffee. Our latte art left rather a lot to be desired, but we'll definitely be taking the Limini team up on further barista training when we're a bit closer to opening. We would really recommend this training team to anyone thinking of setting up a coffee shop. - Strings

Having worked with Limini for the past six months now, I honestly couldn't praise their efficiency, thoughtfulness and professionalism enough. Amidst the difficulty of setting up our first business, they have gone above and beyond to help us with everything from VAT queries and premises licences to coffee sourcing and roasting. We were also absolutely delighted with the training that Vicky provided to our new team of staff. She talked them through the basics of how to use a coffee machine all the way through to creating beautiful coffees with latte art. With Vicky, no question was a stupid question [even though i definitely asked my fair share] and she was incredibly friendly and supportive with the whole team. Having just completed our first week of trading, it is fair to say that we would not be where we are now without the help of Limini. You guys are awesome, keep up the good work! - Ross Young
