BARISTA BASICS
In our state-of-the-art coffee lab, we train individuals and entire café staff how to make espresso-based beverages. The training includes learning how and why espresso brewing is different than brewing drip coffee. We'll also go into detail on how to find the right balance for espresso shots - the sweet spot that sits between bitter and sour. Then we'll show you how to steam perfect milk, both temperature and texture. Once you've got that down, we'll introduce you to latte art.

COFFEE CUPPING (COMING FALL 2022)
Coffee’s equivalent to a wine or beer tasting is called cupping. Here is where our 2% pretension lies as we explain how to taste the blueberry essence, florals flourishes and earthy undertones of a particular coffee. Coffee is a remarkable beverage. Each batch of beans takes on the taste characteristics of the soil and climate where it was grown. Thus, batches from the same farm can taste different each season. In this class you’ll learn to taste like our roast master.
