Und? Es war wirklich beeindruckend.” The knowledge shared by Timo and his team ensures that every participant leaves with a deeper appreciation for coffee.

Dimitri Fedorov couldn't agree more: “Don’t let the place fool you; these guys are making the best coffee I've tried in the last few years. Ask for their coffee-based cocktails. Nitro Slash is very good.”

Schon bei der Auswahl eines Barista Kurses sind mir die Inhalte ins Auge gefallen. 3 Stunden kompaktes Grundlagenwissen zum Thema Kaffee, Genuss und Herstellung. Und? Es war wirklich beeindruckend. Das Wissen von Timo, seine unterhaltsame Art der Darbietung und die Geschmackserlebnisse in Sachen Kaffee. Einzigartig. Wirklich zu empfehlen.

My go-to place every Saturday. The coffee lab has by far the best coffee in Stuttgart region. Once a month is "Lab Saturday" and new coffee experiments and fantastic beans are introduced by Timo and his team. It's the place to go for coffee nerds and interested people :-)

Don't let the place to fool you - these guys are making the best coffee I've tried in last few years. Ask for their coffee based cocktails. Nitro Slash is very good, but others are equally awesome, so feel free to try anything. Definitely the Place of Power for all specialty coffee lovers. Totally worth to visit the city just because of them. Oh, and ask for the "coffee juice".

Wir durften vor kurzen am Barista Kurs Teil 1 teilnehmen und haben einen neuen und erweiterten Horizont auf das Thema Kaffee, dessen Zubereitung und die möglichen Geschmackswelten erhalten. In entspannter Atmosphäre geht es auf die Reise zum Thema Kaffee die auch unangenehme Wahrheiten beinhalten die vielen so vielleicht nicht bewusst sind. Wir können den Kurs weiterempfehlen, beide Daumen hoch!!
