Lead Trainer

Passionate about coffee, Eddy Lau has been pursuing his interest in the world of coffee since 2007. He started his coffee journey by completing the Speciality Coffee Association of Europe Barista Skills Professional Curriculum in 2014 and has become an authorised SCA trainer since then.

While pursuing his goal to be an SCA trainer, he was working in a company that imports coffee which allowed him to cultivate hands-on knowledge within the coffee industry. Meanwhile, he had also completed the Speciality Coffee Association of Europe Roasting Skills Professional Curriculum.

Eddy Lau was later seconded to the company’s counterpart in China, where he built the company’s roasting department from the ground. Through his leadership, the team in China has serviced over 1000 clients, including cafes, restaurants and hotels throughout China.

Ultimately, Eddy Lau also steered the roasting company to achieve Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Certification and ISO Certification (ISO220000:2018).

Today, Eddy Lau is a proud founder of Marino Academy Malaysia with Premier Training Campus recognition from SCA. Marino Academy offers SCA programmes for barista skills and roasting skills for those who want to pursue a successful career in the speciality coffee industry.
