Thankyou so much guys! You're incredible, I learnt so much in my course with you. I came in with no knowledge and training and came out understanding why it's so important to make coffee the way Clandestino does it. Plenty of time in the 2 hours. Even had time to check out the store and see how it all runs. Enjoyed every moment! The handbook is so important, deffitnely worth it!

The introduction to espresso course was very good and I certainly learnt a few things. Highlights for me included getting hands-on with a commercial grinder and espresso machine, and milk texturing and pouring. An impromptu tour of Clandestino's roastery after the course was also awesome - thanks Josh! There were two of us doing the course, and my only criticism is that it would have been nicer to have two machines/setups and also a little extra time (perhaps 2.5 hrs?) as we ran quite short on time towards the end and had to rush through a couple of things.
