Most excellent training

Most excellent training
Gosia was by far the best trainer I have experienced. Her enthusiasm is contagious and she is able to explain everything in a variety of ways that everyone was able to understand the subject. I have enjoyed this course immensely and am able to take all I have learned and implement it.

SCA professional

I recently completed the SCA Barista Professional course, and i have to say that Gosia is an exceptional teacher. She takes the time to brake down complex topics in a way that's easy to understand, making the learning process both engaging and enjoyable. Her passion for coffee is truly inspiring, and her depth of knowledge is remarkable. She created a fun and interactive environment that kept everyone motivated throughout the course. I highly recommended Gosia to anyone looking to enhance their barista skills.
