We purchased our coffee machine and beans from Dash Coffee and couldn’t be happier with the service we’ve received.
As complete newcomers to the coffee industry, the training and support they provided gave us the confidence to start our own coffee trailer, Rush Hour Roasts. Lee received barista training through Dash and the knowledge they shared has made a huge difference to the quality and consistency of our coffee.
The equipment has been reliable, the coffee beans are excellent, and whenever we’ve needed advice, the team have been friendly and helpful.
We’re now regularly receiving compliments from customers about our coffee, including praise from experienced coffee drinkers and professional baristas, and a lot of that comes down to the solid foundation Dash helped us build.
If you’re looking for quality equipment, great coffee, and genuine support, we’d highly recommend Dash Coffee.
Thank you for helping us get started on our journey. - lee mortimer··from Google
Brilliant course, if you have a change to attend, please do, you will not be disappointed! As long as you love coffee and want to make the perfect cup that is!
My son and I attended the Home Barista course at Dash Coffee, I've been drinking coffee for a long time, I learned a lot of the history and processes of coffee production, the grading of coffee and the best way to make it with your home espresso machine.
I don't own one, but I am now looking at buying one off the back of this course!
Everything was covered, even best ways to clean your machine and even included some Latte aet, which I have never done before, but found it very enjoyable.
Also, the coffee there is EXECELLENT, we had a bite to eat there for lunch and that was out of this world as well.
The team at the shop are very pleasant and funny to boot. - Kim Gunn··from Google
Really enjoyed the Barista basics course. Cris was a font of knowledge, very patient and made us feel at ease.
A mix of interesting information from plant to cup including hands on practice on how to create the perfect espresso, frothing the milk and a little latte art.
It really sparked my interest to gain more knowledge and I'd definitely recommend the course. Plus delicious coffee included 😋 - Josh Cook··from Google
I attended the 'Home Barrista' course - this was an excellent course to learn about coffee as well as understand ways to improve my coffee making skills. Would 100% recommend. Cristina is brilliant & very knowledgeable.

I completed the Intro to Coffee Roasting Course with Sid early this month and wow! It’s incredible. The one to one experience allowed for full immersion and Sid breakdown of his knowledge was invaluable. I intend to take my knowledge further and I will always recommend to anybody looking to take this course, to go with Sid and the Dash Coffee Lab team

This was great! Cristina was really informative and kept it interesting. Really patient and I learnt a lot going on this course. Hard to look at home coffee the same afterwards, but definitely for the better.
I would highly recommend doing this course or any other with Dash. - Chris Wade··from Google
Cris and the team at Dash were amazing, knowledgeable and friendly - a real in depth and hands on experience, with personalised support and teaching to suit my current ability level. I left with so many useful tips and inspiration! Highly recommended.

I did the Home Barista course here and learned so much! I’d been doing a bit of research as I’d bought a highly rated espresso machine but could not get it to make good coffee for the life of me! They let me bring my machine along, so after being taught the theory and practicing on their fancy machines, I got to apply what I’d learned to my own machine. Cris was amazing at really explaining the adjustments you can make to the coffee you use when you have a manual machine like mine and we kept fine tuning it until we were happy with the results. Everyone was super lovely, I got to try some of the amazing drinks they make in the cafe and now I drink great coffee at home too (though I’m still practicing my latter art!) Couldn’t recommend more!

I had a brilliant experience training at Dash Coffee Lab. I'd signed up for Barista Basics, and was trained by Cris on the day. She covered all the skills needed to make a great espresso, learning how the machines work, and how to make foam/foam art. Also learned a lot about coffee sourcing, roasting and the different types/flavours. It was a brilliant 5 hours, Cris made it really enjoyable, and I'd love to come back to learn more foam art skills when I can (I need the practice!). Really recommend it here if you're looking to learn barista skills in a lovely environment. Thank you Cris for a great experience!

Dash labs were warm and welcoming and wonderful hosts with a relaxed and warm environment. The theory elements provided great knowledge across a wide array of subjects from raw product to roasting and I learnt lots of new things
The practical roasting in the afternoon was so much fun and Sid the instructor was a fantastic coach and really encouraged us to be fully hands on and give everything a go and I would fully recommend the course to anyone passionate about coffee
