“I wasn’t sure beforehand if a workshop would really add anything, but after just one day at Barista Studio, I knew for sure it was the right choice. The trainers really take their time, explain everything clearly, and make sure you get to do a lot on your own. Whether you want to make better coffee at home or start working professionally, you can really feel their expertise and passion. I now see coffee in a whole new light—and I’m finally making espressos at home that I’m proud of.”

Laurens is both a passionate and professional trainer. I really enjoyed taking his SCA barista and brewing courses.

You came to us for barista training. We really enjoyed it and found it very informative. We’re really looking forward to getting started at our new location, partly because of your enthusiasm. Thank you very much! And I highly recommend you to others.

I took the SCA Foundation course here and it was really great! Laurens is a wonderful teacher; he’s very passionate about his craft, and it really shows. As a beginner-level barista, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I had a great day—I learned so much and had a lot of fun, too! I would 100% recommend Baristastudio Schiedam.

I have taken various SCA training courses at Baristastudio Schiedam. During the lessons, in addition to the theory, a lot of attention is also paid to the practical assignments. It’s great to learn by doing. Laurens da Costa is a passionate instructor who guides you—in small groups (or even one-on-one)—into his world of coffee and teaches you how to make the best cup of coffee. The courses I’ve taken so far include: Barista Foundation and Intermediate, Sensory Foundation, and Brewing Foundation.

Laurens provides clear explanations and training, he honors his commitments, and he conducts the training and course in a pleasant manner.
