This review is from: Espresso 101 Barista Training DVD (DVD)

This was the training video I watched to start my job in the Borders Cafe. It actually wasn't boring, as most training videos are. The history was interesting to learn. I never knew so much about coffee.

Gets employees up to speed. It shows the correct way to make espresso, and teaches the language of coffee. It gets everyone "on the same page" for consistent quality from all employees. We found it very helpful.

Does this Training DVD come in English? I cannot read subtitles through a whole DVD when I am trying to train my new Employees! I don't know whether to cancel my order and try to find an English version or if it only comes in Spanish? It would sure be nice if you could actually talk to a human on Amazon.com. They give you no way to contact anyone!Espresso 101 Barista Training DVD
