Hey, I´m Dan Smith!
I’m a multiple award-winning coffee roaster and the owner of First Fruits Coffee. I’ve been a professional barista and café owner for nearly a decade now, and I’m so excited to share everything I’ve learned with you in my online and in-person Café Essentials masterclass!
My wife and I have opened several cafe locations, including Ashmore, Southport, Labrador, and even Tokyo Japan! We serve thousands of customers a year, and we know the ins and outs of running a café, creating perfect espresso and lattes, and even creating custom blends of coffee beans. You could say we are “coffee artists”.
