I attended a course with Youri of Limini Coffee and he was unbelievably generous with his time, his expertise and his milk and coffee! I got to practice latte art until I was able to produce something recognisable thanks to Youri's incredible patience. I would thoroughly recommend you go to him to learn anything about coffee. Colin

Helen and I have just completed a barista training course with Youri at Limini Coffee in Halifax. Despite the snow and a late arrival we were immediately impressed by the Coffee House and the warmth of the greeting.We had bought our first Gaggia machine a few months earlier, but were a little dubious about what we were doing. My friend Paul recommended Youri, and we are very grateful to him for that.We are both beginners in the magical art of making proper coffee, and when we tasted the first cappuchino made by Youri we realised that a whole new world of coffee pleasure was opening up. Four hours of watching, tasting, and making ourselves, provided a very satisfying learning experience. We thoroughly recommend Youri and Limini Coffee, though I think we will need a bit more practice to reach his standards - Bernard and Helen

I was given coffee training at home as a Christmas present. It was great to be trained on my own machine (rancilio silvia / rocky) so I could be confident I'd be able to keep on getting the same results. We started with me copying the basic steps for making espresso and we moved onto milk frothing and latte art. Just changing a few details has made a big difference to the coffee I make. I thought the latte art would just be for interest but even after a few go's I was surprised how well it was coming out - not going to win any prizes but still good fun to do. Overall I got everything I wanted out of the training and would highly recommend it. - Peter Roots

I feel that I am lucky when I found Limini Coffee. They helped me a lot in the field of consultancy, training and purchase of products and electrical appliances. Punctuality was one of the most important criteria that I was searching for. It has been found in the Limini Coffee staff. Friendly family atmosphere is what attract me to deal with them in the future. It's really a unique experience for me as an international customer coming from Saudi Arabia. - Umar Muzaini

I recently attended a morning's barista training session with Youri at Limini Coffee. There were two other attendees and we were all treated to Youri's passion and enthusiasm about the coffee making process. The training also included a visit to the on site roastery and an explanation of the roasting process. We were then let loose on the espresso machine and before too long were able to produce fantastic looking and tasting coffee and also latte art. I would thoroughly recommend the course to anyone about to start working in a coffee shop (like me) and also to anyone already working in the industry.

I attended the Barista training as we have had an expresso machine for over 2 years and although we were producing coffee I felt we were not doing it quite right. After attending the training at Limini realise just how bad the coffee was that we were producing. The course was excellent and gave me a much more detailed knowledge about all aspects of producing excellent coffee. Well worth the 6 and... OILY'S Limited

I recently attended a one-to-one barista training day with Youri. Experienced in many cafe environments I thought I knew a lot about Coffee, however Youri was able to improve on my knowledge as well as introduce me to several new skills related to the industry such as roasting and latte art.

Had one of Youri's evening classes with both of us working full time, The course taught us a lot more about making great coffee than we realised. Youri lets you learn at your own pace & learn by your own mistakes. We now feel more comfortable about serving great tasting coffee & not just a good coffee. You will be surprised how much you learn ( we was ). M & M Espresso Bar

Several months ago we attended a barista course with Youri-it was fantastic and inspired us to go ahead with plans to open a coffee shop!fast forward to now a week before Lilly`s is due to open and we were stuggling with our machine and grinder-we approached a local so callled coffee expert(only 5 miles away from our home)and they couldnt be bothered to help us!!So we telephoned Youri who gave us some fab advice on the phone and sent us some fantastic FRESH coffee beans-then above and beyond the call of duty Youri came to see us personally.Youri is a gentleman-nothing is to much trouble and he has the patience of a saint!!What a credit to Limini Coffee-we may only be a small business but Youri really cares and is passionate about Coffee!Can`t thank you enough Youri-Your a star!!thanks Pete and Sue xx
