I’ve added a colleague to ‘My Account’, but they haven’t received their email. What should we do? 

Occasionally, emails can be delayed or filtered incorrectly, so make sure to check the spam folder. If your colleague still doesn’t have anything, please ask them to contact [email protected] or call 0800 849 9110. Our team will send them a temporary password along with clear instructions on how to log in and reset it securely.

My Account

Can I forward the ‘My Account’ email I received to someone else in the business so they can order? 

No, each portal invitation is unique and linked to a single email address, so it can’t be forwarded.

If you’d like to change the Portal Administrator or give someone else ordering access, contact our Customer Service team using the details above. Once updated, the new contact will receive their own welcome email with instructions on how to access My Account.

My Account

How do I enable ‘My Account’ access to other employees?

Go to Settings > Contacts > Enable/Disable all contacts or add a new contact.

My Account

I have logged in to ‘My Account’, but I cannot access multiple accounts. Why is that?

If you’re only seeing one account, it’s usually because:

  1. Your email address is currently linked to a single account, or
  2. A Portal Administrator within your organisation hasn’t yet enabled access to additional accounts.

If you believe you should have access to more than one account, please contact [email protected] or call 0800 849 9110.

Frequently Asked Questions

A traditional coffee machine requires the barista to manually control every aspect of the coffee-making process, including grinding, tamping, and extraction. Whereas a semi-traditional machine automates these steps, while still allowing the barista to craft each coffee with precision and care. Our training covers both machine types, ensuring you master the skills needed for the machine you have.

Our standard barista training course is a 4-hour, hands-on session designed to give you practical experience with coffee preparation, machine maintenance, and latte art. We will also give you an insight into where coffee comes from so you have a wealth of knowledge to help you brew success as a barista.

Our training is tailored to your specific coffee machine model, whether it’s from Liquidline or another supplier. This ensures you get the best performance from your machines and truly learn the nuances of your equipment.

This approach also means that the course is perfect for beginners, as well as those wanting to brush up on their skills. Covering step-by-step guidance, coffee brewing techniques, and espresso extraction. You’ll leave with the confidence to make barista-quality coffee.

We offer both on-site training at your premises and off-site training at our Liquidline training centre. The choice is yours, and both options provide the same high-quality, hands-on learning experience.

If training is on-site, you’ll need a functioning espresso machine and grinder. We’ll take care of everything else, including expert instruction, materials, and coffee beans for practice.

Every attendee will receive a Liquidline Barista Certificate upon course completion, adding value to their skills and boosting their business’s coffee credibility.
