• 5/5 from Ella McMurray, attended Mar 2026: I couldn't have asked for a better time! Our instructor was so friendly and engaging. Very informative and fun! I would highly recommend and I plan to take another class from Barista Life again!
• 5/5 from Cynthia Ruelas, attended Mar 2026: The teacher was very passionate about coffee and this shows throughout the class. There's so much to learn about coffee, I used to think it was simply coffee. We learned about the different roasts and how they affect flavor. It was a very sensory experience which I enjoyed. I did it with my sisters and we all enjoyed the class and we feel more confident in making a good cup of coffee and we are inspired to experiment with it, now that we know what to look for. The shop it was hosted at and everyone who worked there had such an inviting energy.
• 5/5 from Jasmine Apple, attended Feb 2026: Great class!! I was wondering how a coffee cupping could last 2 hours, but it was so informative. We had 6 different coffees, each with different flavor profiles that we experienced dry, right after the water was added, while they were hot, & after they had cooled down. It was fascinating! We also talked about ground types (course or fine?), different home brewing methods, and what to look for when buying coffee. If you enjoy coffee, this was a fun & informative class. Would highly recommend it!
• 5/5 from Ryan Komori, attended Feb 2026: What at awesome experience for our small team today! We learned so much about the origins of coffee and how it makes it through the roasting process along with how coffee changes from beans, to grounds, to the addition of water that produces the coffee we drink. LaNisa was a wonderful host and teacher. She made the experience not only educational, but also fun and memorable. Highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Jamila G, attended Feb 2026: Had a great time in this class! Learnt a lot in a very relaxed and comfortable environment. The host is super friendly and knowledgeable. Great for beginners and people who just love coffee!
• 5/5 from Nelly Mardiros, attended Jan 2026: I couldn’t recommend this class more!! I had such an amazing experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed having LaNisa as an instructor. I took this class to expand my coffee knowledge for personal and professional reasons, and safe to say this class prepared me just for that. The lesson started with a quick PowerPoint on the history of coffee, how it’s grown and prepared, and the different aspects that make up the flavor/aroma profiles. We then went around the table to get introduced to all the different beans set up for us. I loved it because it was so much more of a thorough experience than I’ve ever had with coffee before! We got introduced to identify the scent profiles, then the tastes at different temperatures, and how each bean is suitable for different types of brewing. Plus, the class was such a vibe!! LaNisa has a wealth of knowledge to share, and she’s got jokes that make learning that knowledge so much more fun. I was genuinely excited to learn in this class and again, I HIGHLY recommend this class to anyone trying to expand their knowledge or simply try something new.
• 5/5 from Edlin Vlatkovic, attended Dec 2025: Very informative! My husband and I are coffee lovers and I thought this was a great Xmas present. I liked that we were able to sample some coffee. I’m looking forward to booking another class in the future.
• 5/5 from William Aguilar, attended Nov 2025: Extremely informative and welcoming. My wife and i are coffee lovers and really enjoyed this class and would highly recommend to anyone looking to get a deeper understanding of coffee.
• 5/5 from Faustina H., attended Nov 2025: Wonderful experience and we learned a lot in this class. We smelled and tasted coffee in a way we haven't before and more importantly, we came to appreciate and respect the hard work that goes into every cup.
• 5/5 from Neelaysh Vukkadala, attended Nov 2025: An incredibly informative and inspiring class. Learned so much about the coffee process as well as a deeper appreciation for the people involved in coffee production. A must for any coffee lover!
• 5/5 from Kyle Payne, attended Jun 2025: This class with Lanissa was absolutely fantastic! She made everyone in our group feel welcome even though we had varying levels of experience. Her obvious enthusiasm for coffee was infectious, and the different types of coffee she chose to sample were varied enough to taste the differences. I enjoyed it a ton, learned a lot, and look forward to gifting this class to my friends.
• 5/5 from Andy Phan, attended May 2025: LaNisa was a great instructor and taught us many cupping methods. From beginners who only drink coffee to employed baristas from coffee chains, everyone got a good learning experience from it. She kept the experience extremely humble and helped expanded my horizons on coffee and the art that goes into it.
