“Ik heb recent een La Marzocco Micra en Pico gekocht en kreeg de tip om voor een hands-on training de Koffieschool te benaderen. Dit heb ik gedaan en we hebben een 2 uurs personal training bij mij thuis geboekt. Dit was voor mij de ideale manier om door Joost een geweldige boost aan mijn barista skills te geven en mijn eigen apparatuur veel beter te leren gebruiken. Kortom een absolute aanrader!”

“Enkele jaren geleden de koffieopleiding mogen volgen. Zeer recent een vervolg op deze basis. Het kennisniveau binnen de Koffieschool is zeer hoog. Samen met het enthousiasme en de wil om kennis over te dragen maken dit een top-instituut!”
