  • My experience with the home brewing coffee course led by Garith was truly exceptional. He took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the brewing process, never once making me feel rushed or overwhelmed. What truly set him apart was his ability to simplify complex concepts into easily digestible information, making it not only comprehensible but also applicable. I wholeheartedly recommend this home brewing course to anyone looking to enhance their coffee brewing skills. It was both informative and enjoyable, with Garith's expertise shining through every step of the way. Since completing the course, I've already noticed a significant improvement in the taste of my coffee. I'm excited to continue implementing the techniques I've acquired, aiming to perfect the art of brewing cafe-quality coffee from the comfort of my own home.
