YWAM Coffee School 9010 Florida Boulevard, Walker, LA 70785

"YWAM Coffee School was KEY to helping me grow my coffee shop. I learned so much and would recommend this school for anyone looking to grow in professional coffee making."

"If you are serious about all-things coffee, this is your place! Scotty is an amazing instructor with a passion for coffee and people. I was in Louisiana for the Roasters course and I learned more in four days with Scotty and Co. then I have this entire previous year roasting on my own. Thank you Scotty!"

"I came to this school a rookie, knowing close to nothing about coffee. In the past two weeks, I have learned a RIDICULOUS amount and feel wayyyyy more confident and prepared moving forward on my adventurous coffee venture !! Scotty doesn't mess around when it comes to becoming a coffee pro and using it to glorify the Kingdom. if you have any inkling to be involved in coffee anything, specifically coffee in missions, DO. THIS. SCHOOL.!"

"When I first heard about the Brewers and Barista Training Bootcamp, I was intrigued. After meeting over Zoom with Scotty Meades, I was terrified that I would fail the courses as they are quite academic and professional and I haven't been in an intense learning environment like that in a long time. After a pep-talk from my teammates, I decided to complete the course with them and I am so grateful I did!! After the first day, my head wanted to explode with information overload in the best way! This course is not for the faint of heart, but not to worry as Scotty pushes you to excel to your highest ability. From day 1 to day 10, my confidence level in my ability to understand coffee (from bean to cup), brew it, create latte art, and judge the quality has increased EXPONENTIALLY. On top of all this knowledge, I have a much better grasp on how to move forward with opening up a coffee company and everything it entails. Scotty and his team go above and beyond to create a wonderful live/work/learn environment that is optimal for gaining the proper knowledge, techniques, and skills you may need in the professional world of coffee. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone who is remotely interested in opening their own coffee shop, pursuing a career as a barista, or has a desire to work in any area of coffee production to TAKE HIS COURSES. You will not regret it... and bonus: he won't let you fail!! I passed all my practical tests, and learned to not be so hard on myself when I cannot grasp a concept right away. Practice, practice, practice makes excellent."

"If it says anything I have been back twice for different training in everything coffee. The depth of knowledge is amazing! One would not have thought there was so many intricacies to coffee. Scotty (Yoda of Coffee) shared his knowledge but what I was most impressed about was you could see his passion for coffee and people. Anyone wanting to know more about coffee or get in the coffee business this is the place to go to!"
