variety of different roasters. Michael - Cabrito Coffee
* I'm working over my roaster at the moment busting out a 30kg
order. I'm not joking when I say I'm getting some of the best results
I've ever had!!
I seriously can't be happier Anne! I'm now super, super excited!!
Initially I was hesitant to come to the course because I thought that
$1000 could be better spent elsewhere. But I'm so, so glad now, that's
$1000 of beans I would have butchered previously and now I have a
solid base of knowledge to steer me in a better direction than where I
was going.
I’m so glad I was able to partake in this course. The abundance of
knowledge was priceless. For once I got to nerd out with other
like-minded people! Thank you so much!! Brendon - Melbourne
