Coffee Cupping Workshop

Coffee cupping is the standardized method of tasting and evaluating coffee used by producers, roasters, and Q-graders to assess quality, flavor, and potential—but it’s also a fun and eye-opening way for everyday coffee drinkers to discover their own preferences. In this guided tasting experience, you’ll explore coffee cupping in a simple, hands-on format as we walk you through smelling and tasting freshly brewed coffees side by side, noticing unique flavor notes, and comparing different species, roast levels, and processing styles. Along the way, you’ll learn how these factors influence taste and develop the tools to recognize what you enjoy most in a cup. This session is all about discovering your palate, eliminating what you don’t like, and making coffee more enjoyable. By the end, you’ll be able to choose beans with confidence—so every cup feels like your perfect cup.
