I have no regret for choosing this workshop. I had obtained the drink making skills and techniques. The instructor taught with highly detailed teaching. I got many ideas from the class which can be used for opening a coffee business or in the daily life. The workshop was fun and it allowed me to make new friends who are involved in coffee industry.

Thank you for the great experience. It was a splendid barista class with happiness and fun. I got to learn how to make, taste and shake coffee. It made me started to love coffee and understand more about it. Among the other things, I had a good relationship with my classmates. And the most important thing is that the teacher is very nice.
