I got in touch with Adam through instagram after hitting a few problems with the dial in process. He gave me so much help just through messages, but after running into a few more issues I decided to book the class to gain more confidence. Adam answered all my questions and explained everything to me perfectly. I gained a deeper understanding of my machine, the dial in process and ways to be more consistent. With Adam's knowledge and chilled attitude, it was the perfect environment to learn in. To describe the experience in one photo:
I like nice coffee and have decent espresso making kit at home, but I was frustrated with my lack of consistency in pulling tasty espresso. I was also going through lots of (expensive) coffee beans trying to "dial in" the perfect grind and dose. I had considered attending group lessons but when I noticed Adam's classes "at home" I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to learn on my own equipment rather than on professional kit in a cafe. I'm really happy with the results - better, more consistent espresso (well trending towards that), less wastage of beans and an appreciation of subtle differences between coffee types, roasts and their flavours. We covered a little milk foaming and beginner steps in latte art, but that wasn't the primary focus of the session... I'll keep practising! Thanks Adam.
Adam thought me last week at my home and not only was it such an interesting time it was lots of fun too.
I would make lattes at home previously but not always with success and my latte art was more cloud watching, and the improvement this class has given me has been fantastic.
We covered troubleshooting the shots and puck prep, we fixed my steam wand placement, the amounts of coffee and milk I used and so much more that led to me one week later at home on my own pouring a tulip in my milk opposed to what used to be a mix of cloud watching and if I was lucky an onion (meant to be a heart).
Adam was a great teacher and I'd definitely recommend this workshop to anyone considering it!
A year after getting my Linea Mini I made contact with Adam to arrange an at home training course to try and progress and improve my skills, and it did not disappoint!
Adam went through all aspects of espresso making and onto latte art with me, he vastly improved my knowledge on all areas!
Adam is knowledgeable, and obviously very passionate about coffee! He is relaxed and patient, making the course good fun as well as educational!
I would highly recommend this course to everyone wanting to push their knowledge and skills to the next level.
