I did enjoy the first 9 sessions, but I was disappointed with the Latte Art portion. I was hopping for video demonstration of the froth pouring and not just photos of the designs themselves.

Its a good course for beginners. Gives you the basic knowledge. The course would be more beneficial if you had videos that show how to exactly make the Latte art present instead of only step by step pictures. Also, the transcript part does not reflect what is being said.

It is well presented and surely the person is very knowledgeable in his field, I have learned some basic stuff but overall I fear not much more than I would have probably been able to put together for free on YouTube. I got the course for & 11.99 on sale and I don't even think it was worth that much because it is really short, let alone the £64ish that it usually seems to be. I would have felt massively ripped off had I paid that much.

Felt the First half of the course was better than the second. Mainly due to the fact that i was expecting more from the actual correct way of frothing and pouring of the milk into the coffee. Enjoyed the course material on the maintenance of the machine and grinder. Thank You.

Poor video quality. Not much informative. It is not absorbing video. You can find much better videos on Youtube for free. In every part of the video, has 10 sec. advertorial slides in the beginning and 30 sec. at the end, it is so annoying. The information he delivered, you can get much more and more clear from the user manuals of the machines. Disappointing !!!!!
