GBOur organization's coffee shop Our organization's coffee shop, Arte del Cafe had the pleasure of having a Boot Coffee Campus consultant (Dan) come to our establishment and work with 3 of our baristas. Everything was done in a professional way, and the baristas learned a lot from him. Being right there with him, was great, they were able to ask questions, and get answers right away. They practiced their skills in making coffee with the consultant overseeing what they were doing. As the overseer of the coffee shop, I myself learned about coffee and how it was made. (I did not know much before we started). I would recommend you get Boot Coffee Campus to come to your establishment before or after you have opened your shop, and also when you get new baristas working for you. Dan knows about coffee, and is easy to work with. Highly recommend!

GBIf you looking to up your coffee… If you looking to up your coffee knowledge I would highly recommend boot coffee campus. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the staff was very knowledgeable. I will definitely go back for more courses.

GBBest coffee school ever. They deliver on their promises If you are serious about starting a coffee roasting business this is a must!! I was hesitant to take the class as I have previous business experience but there are so many things to be learned from this class. I took the coffee roaster biz class with Valerian and he has been the best instructor I’ve had by far. I left the class confident about how to run my business, new ideas and opportunities to develop and much more confident in my coffee roasting skills

BEI attended Boot Coffee for Intro to Coffee, Intro to Sensory, Roasting Foundation and Intermediate course, and follow-on business seminar. I attended Boot Coffee for the Introduction to Coffee, Introduction to Sensory, Roasting Foundation and Intermediate course (including certifications) and the business prep seminar. I truly enjoyed all the courses and found our instructor, Valerian Hrala to be extremely personable and knowledgeable; He made sure we were well prepared to take the SCA certifications and provided significant information based on his wealth of experience in the Specialty Coffee Industry including his time as an instructor. Whether we were working on roast profiles, company branding, brew methods, or discussing technological advances in the Specialty Coffee Industry, Valerian presented current, relevant information. He used fun and creative teaching methods to make the classes interesting, and prepared amazing specialty coffees from all over the world throughout each day, including Finca La Mula Panama Geisha, a delicious and highly rated coffee. Each specialty coffee he prepared included a brief history of the coffee, its farming location, its origins and/or a brief anecdote from his experiences in the Specialty Coffee Industry. The courses opened my eyes to the Specialty Coffee Community and the intricacies involved in evaluation and tasting of what I previously considered a "simple cup of coffee." I look forward to future classes with Valerian and highly recommend his classes to beginner roasters whether they are entrepreneurs or hobbyists. A side note for beginner roasters, take the accompanying sensory course (if offered). The cupping experience is well worth it and can only benefit your journey as a roaster.
