Overall, I enjoyed the course and had a very good time. However, I would have liked to be taken more “by the hand” during the practical part, as some fear of contact with the machine prevented me from making espresso myself. In the end, only one participant made espresso and tested themselves. I also thought it was a shame that we were only allowed to drink a coffee at the very end through a bit of our own initiative - I would have expected the participants to enjoy it earlier during the day (in line with the course).
