L'ho frequentato a novembre di quest'anno... semplicemente un'esperienza fantastica... Roberto, il docente, è un ragazzo straordinario, tiene le lezioni in modo così semplice. Ti porta anche in pausa pranzo per provare la vera cucina italiana per pochi soldi.
Nel complesso, consiglio questo corso solo a chiunque voglia conoscere le macchine da caffè e divertirsi lungo il percorso.
Altamente, altamente, altamente raccomandato.
