I’ve been offered a fantastic opportunity to meet Youri Vlag, Barista Trainer @ Absolute Coffee, who will be training a number of people tomorrow at the Ristretto premises near Wimbledon.

I am passionate about coffee education and this will be a good opportunity to see Youri in action and to get behind different types of Commercial Espresso Machines than I may be used to.

Youri has recently been appointed a Super Moderator at Coffee Forums UK and has been influential in setting up the Coffee Business Owner Support Forum (here) which is intended to become a hub for Coffee Shop / Cafe Owners, Restaurant Managers and Delicatessen Ownders to discuss the topics of relevance to them, including promotionm staff management, improving the quality of the drinks they serve, ethics etc etc (the opportunities are endless)

If you are interested in Commercial Barista Training then you may wish to speak to Youri, whose contact details and further information can be found here.
