Train the Trainer Course with Ramona Buga
I completed the Train the Trainer Course with Ramona Buga today and it was a great experience, she is an amazing trainer, I had a great time and definitely learned so much from her today that will help me in my career as a Barista. 😊
10 years with this company - AVOID
10 years with this company. Loyalty means nothing.
Come & collect your 3 machines!!!
Refusing to fix their broken machine, but still expect to be paid monthly fees? No way. Im taking this to trading standards!

Ramona is a wealth of knowledge and her passion for standards and all things coffee is infectious.
Thank you so much for your time and experience that you imparted to the team.
Claire has helped me understand the… coffee brew log
Claire has helped me understand the coffee settings better than the day 1 we have started.
We had more of a one to one session and she took that extra time to help me understand what it takes to make a good coffee. I understand the coffees now more than what I have started with.
Thank you
Claire was absolutely brilliant today
Claire was absolutely brilliant today when she came to our cafe in Congleton. The training she delivered was detailed and professional and her delivery methods were really flexible, at a suitable pace, and really showed her knowledge and love for what she does.
She was brilliant at answering questions and taking extra time to go into more details when requested. Super easy to talk to also!
The instructor was super informative

Train the Trainer Course from Ramona
I had Train the Trainer course with Ramona and I had a great experience and learned a lot from her session. Ramona made the session interactive and fun. I would recommend the class to anyone interested!
Scammed
I never have a problem with the previous company Tchibo, including their engineer service
but rercently change to Mathew Algae and charge me twice for one call out. I phoned the customer service and told them I had only one call out and they acknowledge it, but they sent me two call out invoice. of course I didnt acknowledge the second invoice.
Its a scam! Dont use them again.

Great experience
Tom was friendly, fun and a great teacher. I look forward to perfecting my technique
Very Positive Experience
Ramona guided us through our ‘Train the Trainer’ course with such ease and professionalism. It was a very positive experience, giving us lots of help and encouragement so that we could then be signed off as Master Baristas.
Course with Ramona
Had a really positive experience with Ramona on the train the trainer course recently, very friendly and knowledgeable lady, and a good informative course, thank you!
Angela
Angela
Had training with Angela at the new Chesham store she was helpful and was happy answering all my questions, she never made me feel silly for not knowing anything. She is a lovely lady and we were lucky to get her to train us.
A lovely online training experience
A lovely online training experience. Colin was upbeat, informative and engaging. It is clear he has a lot of knowledge of barista skills, many years of experience developing people and took time to design the program to be informative and helpful for our careers.
Great start
The trainig was fun and informative, we get the technical information and chance to practice. We learned the details of maing espresso, latte, and cappuccino. Colin was kind and patient in all circumstances. I just wish it was an longer for an hour or so, so we would have more time to practice and learning the cleaning process.
Brilliant Barista Training, learned loads and actually had fun.
I recently attended a Barista Training with Matthew Algie and it was honestly brilliant.
Colin was the trainer and he was excellent, really knowledgeable, approachable and made everything easy to understand without it feeling heavy or over-technical. The session was super interactive and hands on, not just standing around listening to someone talk at you, which made a huge difference.
The group was great too, relaxed, friendly and supportive. I came away feeling more confident, with practical skills I can actually use and a much better understanding of what I’m doing (and why). Not forgetting.. excellent coffee along the way.
Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to build their barista skills or refresh their knowledge.
Great teaching at new cafe
Great teaching at new cafe, taught by ramona at esquire’s Oakham.
