Coffee has always been a huge part of my life, and thanks to New Jersey Coffee School I was able to learn how to make delicious and beautiful coffee drinks from home! I've always wanted to learn how to make coffee art, and to perfect the taste of my favorite coffee drinks. I never thought I could have such a fun time learning more about coffee! The "sip and paint" class I took with my coworkers was easy, fun, and I use what I learned every day! Jim and Bernie, along with the instructors, were so friendly and helpful! I'm seriously wanting to open a cafe now...

Not only do they train you to be an outstanding barista but also educate you in your business start-up planning process including concept development, site selection and lease negotiation etc. Jim and Bernie are amazing!!

I'd like to highly recommend this school to coffee enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, and beyond. This is a great program to take part in. Beyond Barista skills, the leadership/expertise and warmth projected by the project owners(Jim Conti & Bernie along with their team of instructors) is amazing...This is a great seed planted which will bear many sweet fruits in generations. Definitely a praiseworthy endeavor!!! Elhadji

Great fun time to learn and make yourself knowledgeable on the origins of how coffee was made and where all the different coffee originated. Overall have to say my experience was out of this world with the knowledge i learned I branched out into different types of coffee.

NJ Coffee School allowed me to host a coffee event paired with a paint and sip for a thanksgiving holiday party with my friends and family. Aside from the beautiful space and coffee machines provided, my group and I had such a fun time exploring all things coffee. We painted pumpkins and canvases, drank DELICIOUS specialty coffee drinks and enjoyed eachothers company. I can not wait to hold another event here soon. I’m thinking a galentines event for me and my girlfriends!

I took the coffee essentials class which specializes in how to perfect a cup of coffee at home. I left the 3 hour course eager for the next morning to make my first cup using my new pour over and utilize the skills I learned in class ! Madison, my instructor was so engaging and enthusiastic showing us all the machines. This was such a fun experience I got to share with my friends.

Thank you …New Jersey Coffee School. The knowledge I gained from your dedicated instruction and guidance has been instrumental in shaping my understanding of the coffee business and its various aspects. Understanding the intricacies involved in running a successful coffee venture, from sourcing quality beans to creating a captivating coffee shop atmosphere, has proven to be immensely valuable.

I took a home lovers coffee class and really enjoyed my experience. I got to learn about the history of coffee and the class was hands on allowing me to use different machines to make my own lattes, coffees, etc. Bernie, Jim, and the instructor taught about what specifically makes each drink different and answered any questions I had during the process of making my own beverages. I really enjoyed making these drinks myself and was given great suggestions on how to continue making great coffee at home. Overall, I am very happy with the knowledge and skills I obtained during this class. It was really fun and something that I would love to do again.

The barista class was awesome. Jim and the gang were great!! Can’t wait for my next class.

My wife and I had an amazing experience at the New Jersey Coffee School. We had the privilege of taking the Home Coffee Essentials class and we both were floored with how knowledgeable and interactive the class was. I was extremely impressed and grateful to Bernie, Jim, and Madison - they brought a level a detail to the coffee making process and the history of coffee and it’s origins. I highly recommend taking a course with them and I plan on taking the business course with them in the future!

The Professional Coffee Business Class was an absolute delight and provides an arsenal of industry knowledge, tried and true business practices, and perspectives to consider when starting a coffee shop. I was thoroughly impressed and so happy that I was able to gain all this experience and perspective before launching a business, it will doubtless make a significant difference. The commute through Hoboken is lovely from the city, the team is friendly and enthusiastic.
