Testimonials

Gianmarco was my trainer in my first job in Melbourne. He has a lot of expertise and knowledge, but also has patience and the right way to make your learning efficient and clear. Always pushing you to be better, with a lot of carisma. Great teacher, fellow barista and person.

-Constanza V.

Gianmarco is a unique barista and true professional on both sides of the bar. Not only cause of his knowledge, experience and consistency applied to work, but cause of his standars when it comes down to service, multitasking, work flow, cleaniness, problem solving and so many levels that are attached to high value and high commitment. After many years in the industry i took away many lessons from him and that made things easier and better on a daily basis.
