This course on coffee welcomes you, where we will learn how to roast, grind, and filter coffee for enjoying it at home. If you're a coffee lover, you know that there are many different ways to prepare and enjoy it, but in this course, we will focus on coffee preparation through roasting, grinding, and filtering. However, coffee has been an important part of the culture and history of many other countries, including Mexico and the ancient Mayan cultures. Each participant will receive a portion of green coffee beans. Green coffee beans are used for the roasting process, during which they acquire their characteristic brown color and develop the flavors and aromas that we associate with roasted coffee. With special utensils, we will roast our own coffee and learn about the importance of roasting. We will also learn about coffee grinding, from how to grind the beans to how to choose the coarseness of the grind to achieve the desired flavor. Finally, we will explore one of the different filtering methods, the drip filter, for preparing our coffee. Engli span

5.00This entire experience was amazing and very intimate. My partner and I learned so much about Mexican coffee from Alex and had a great time roasting and preparing our own coffee. Alex clearly loves what he does and it shows in the work he puts in but also his customer service. I felt wrapped in the Mexican culture. Along with the coffee class he also offers a tortilla making class, which everyone should try. Go see Alex and have a great time !
Incredible experience!

5.00Alex was amazing!! He not only taught us how to roast coffee but walked us through the flavor notes and brewing as well. He also gave us additional advice for our time in Cancun. He was super friendly and hospitable. 10/10 would recommend.
Alex is the Best!

5.00Alex is a great host and instructor! We learned a bit of coffee history in Mexico and then Alex guided us through a hands-on experience of roasting coffee and grinding it in a lava stone grinder. The coffee we made was delicious and the experience was one-of-a-kind. I highly recommend this tour.
Best Cancún Experience

5.00This class was so much fun!! My partner and I happened across this class and it was one of the best decisions we have ever made. We arrived to a cute welcome sign in an adorable outdoor area all set up for us. Our host Alex was waiting at the doorway for us the moment we got out of our Uber to ensure we found the place okay. He was so knowledgeable and truly made the experience amazing. He taught us about coffee and showed us how to roast and make an absolutely delicious cup of coffee. We had so much fun we decided to stay and do a tortilla class with him which was also amazing. Overall you cannot go wrong with this experience, so much more fun than the big tours and classes.
Coffee and culture!

5.00We enjoyed learning about the Mayan history and culture surrounding coffee while brewing it in such an intimate way! Alex wonderfully explained everything to us and led us through the process of brewing coffee - from experiencing coffee beans in their raw form to roasting, grinding, and preparing. It was a wonderful experience all around! Afterwards, he even gave us suggestions of other activities to do in the area. Highly recommend this class!

5.00Alex was exceptionnal! We learned a lot about the coffee, where it's from, the processus of torrefaction. You get to cook the coffee then grand it a traditionnal way. I feel like I really learn something great! We drink coffee everyday without knowing a thing about it. It was refreshing and funny, if you like coffee, simple close activities and great people you should book this activity, and his tortillas making course too!! Thank you so much Alex for this immersion in your culture, and keep up the great work, it's much appreciated!
