This workshop is very scientific & designed for those VERY interested in the technical aspects of serious espresso making. My partner and I just wanted tips on making great coffee. The new, young instructors English was very difficult to understand.
Recommend, great value

Was very worth it! I got to see a great overview of the journey of coffee beans and got to see, touch and peel the coffee fruits + green beans. Making and tasting coffee was a nice finish to the workshop.
Excellent Coffee Course

I ended as the only person in this course, so I got a VIP/personalized experience. The host/instructor, Chris, was kind and funny and knowledgeable and did a great job adapting the course to just one person. The course itself was excellent, learning about the process of harvesting coffee, with a bit of the botany/biology behind coffee beans. Then we covered he difference between good and bad beans, before finally brewing my own Vietnamese Phin-style drip coffee, without and with sweetened condensed milk. Highly recommend to experienced and novice coffee lovers.
Highly recommend!
