  • Robyn Mortimer • Aug 2023

    Jimmy first explained the timing of the afternoon's activities, the different styles of latte art and then we gathered around the long table beside the enormous commercial machines.

    He guided us as a group then individually through each step and was always ready to provide more support as needed. We had plenty of encouragement, milk, beans and time to practise and I totally recommend Jimmy and this course.

    I attended to develop some latte art skills as a home barista. I definitely achieved that including my frothing technqiue and more.
