Cippo Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Any good places in Cape Town to do proper barista training? What is the ballpark figure in terms of cost?

GrumpyOldGuy Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Enjoy, will be waiting to hear your feedback.... Its nice, very strong but not bitter which I usually associate with really intense coffee, I think it will make a great morning Espresso, so I bought a few tubes, I personally cant tell much difference between the two, so I didn't bother with the Dharkan - and Yup, I tried both, had a real coffee high going there for a while .

I'll be sure to try it out next time i visit the store... Thanx for the feedback... GrumpyOldGuy 1

Frosty Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 @V12man, one last question: Jura Impressa F7 or ENA 9 One Touch, which one would you choose? Considering the previous discussions about after sales service, and back up, and considering I do have a budget that has now extended some what more than originally planned - I am leaning more towards the Jura than the Delonghi, but which one?
the nerd Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Does anyone know where i can get a La Cimbali serviced, better yet someone coming out and servicing it?
Cippo Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Try Origin. They have a home barista course for R500, it's a 4hr course. If you find one cheaper, please let me know. The link to Origin. R500 seems fair for home training. There is a 3 day pro course also listed for those interested. They have a R200 /2hr coffee appreciation course which teaches you in's an out's of coffee and roasting. http://www.originroasting.co.za/
Riario Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Does anyone know where i can get a La Cimbali serviced, better yet someone coming out and servicing it? http://www.importalia.co.za/contact_us.html I have a Wega Concept Greenline 2-Group & use Koldserve.co.za which service onsite. Don't know if they do La Cimbali as well.
V12man Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Does anyone know where i can get a La Cimbali serviced, better yet someone coming out and servicing it? What town are you in? Allesandro at Tassadoro does service a lot of La Cimbali machines - he is in parkhurst, and they do service on site or collect it and service. Espressoworx in Bramley also..

I will have a look as soon as I get a gap and see what the exact difference is between those 2 - My gut feel says if it's in a kitchen at home, the Ena9 because it's smaller - in a corporate office, the F7 - I will come back to you later today.

This turned into an exercise.... the answer.... I don't know... Best you go and visit the importer and get hands on with the 2 machines.... they are easy to find, and they have demo equipment, although it might be best to call ahead. http://www.icesa.za.net/
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 I am looking for one of these, not as hardcore as the setups on this thread but I like it.It's a Bodum coffee lab, anybody know if they're available locally? krl747 1
