Public Cuppings and Coffee Education Workshops

Knowledge is power! Read on for our current education programs for the general public.

Public Cuppings

Public cuppings provide coffee enthusiasts with a unique and enlightening tasting experience. A cupping is simply an industry standardized process of tasting coffee. Each cupping has a different focus and there are always featured coffees to taste. Your host is typically one of our senior, experienced baristas. They can answer ALMOST any question you might have related to coffee tasting and preparation.

Since each cupping is limited to 6 participants, we strongly encourage purchasing your space ahead of time using the above link. Walk-ins are welcome IF there is space left at the cupping table.

We focus on the history of coffee, the development of specialty varieties, cultivation and harvesting techniques, and coffee processing. We also touch on the roasting process. By the time you finish this class, you’ll have a fundamental understanding of why certain coffees taste the way they do, and the impact a producer has on the cup.

Handouts, pen, and paper will be provided.

Espresso and Milk

This is a primer course on the fundamentals of espresso and milk preparation. We’ll begin with a fundamental overview of what espresso actually is, how it’s different from other brew methods, and why milk is an obvious complementary choice.
