Sorry if this has been mentioned previously, and I don't want to clog up the thread, but would anybody recommend places to train in the Barista arts and education in coffee? I'm in full-time (office-based) employment, but looking to break free and change careers.
I've seen Prufrock offer courses, as do London School of Coffee. Seems the cost does add up, if you want to cover all areas from Barista skills, latte art, cupping etc. Would official SCAE be worth it?
The other option is to get a part-time job in a coffeeshop, and get paid while I learn. Ideally somewhere with an excellent reputation for their coffee, and training.
Any constructive advice more than welcome.
Also - congratulations on the shop @StevePeel

Not muc to say really. Roberts, which means it's awesome. I picked mine up from BLB after eyeing it up for a while. They've got a few tasty frames in there. There's a bunch of other stores selling vintage steel now. You've got Hackney Peddler, Pedal Peddler, Isambards, Sargent & Co, Vintage Bike Cave... and of course eBay.

Often see a guy on a white and purple splatter-effect steel road bike who looks pretty 'on here', riding west from Hackney Road towards Oxford Street. Don't recall the brand, but that paint is sick. Also spotted another guy this morning on an old copper coloured Tresina (?) road bike, also very nice paintjob.
