We love sharing what we are passionate about and what we've collectively learned over the years working with coffee.  
And so we're delighted to offer two types of coffee workshops for you to take part as well as host monthly open cupping sessions for anyone and everyone to join. If you love coffee and want to learn with us, check out what we've got on offer.

Coffee Workshops

Now available to book!

Let’s learn how to taste coffee & unpack where its flavours come from!

Coffee is one of the most chemically complex things we consume. Like anything else we eat or drink, coffee tastes, smells, and feels the way it does because locked inside the coffee bean is a complex chemical code that determines what we experience. Every flavor, every aroma, every texture originates in a set of chemicals, which in turn are determined by the seed’s genes, by how and where the coffee was grown, and by everything it has experienced since leaving the tree (processing, drying, milling, storage, transport, roasting, brewing and so on).

This 2.5h sensory workshop is focused on exploring the journey of coffee from seed to cup, our perception of flavour and the sensory attributes we find coffee and where they come from. 

In the first part of the session we explore various tastes, aromas and how they come together to form our sensory experience of flavour. We calibrate our palates by recognising aroma and flavour references we use in coffee evaluation. In the second part of the session we discover how coffee growing areas, varieties & processing methods impact the flavour in the cup and we bring it all together in a 'cupping' - professional coffee tasting.

Pricing:
£60 per person (incl. 20% VAT)

Capacity: up to 6 attendees per session

Learn how to get the most of your beans using an espresso machine, and pour beautiful latte art!

This 2.5h workshop will take you through choosing the coffee that's right for you through discussing and tasting different origins and processing methods and their impact on flavour so that you can find what you really enjoy.

You will learn the basic espresso brewing principles and how to 'dial-in' a coffee to your preferred recipe. You will learn how to steam milk to achieve a silky smooth texture, pour delicious drinks and practice latte art patterns.  And at the end, you'll take home a bag of coffee of your choice to practice your freshly gained barista skills.

Pricing:
£60 per person (incl. 20% VAT)

Capacity: up to 4 attendees per session

Monthly(ish) Cupping Club

We are passionate about sharing what we do with our community of coffee lovers and are excited to resume hosting regular open cuppings - coffee tastings - in our Margate cafe. Happening roughly once a month on a Thursday eve, we prepare a guided cupping of our current (sometimes upcoming) offerings and share stories behind the coffees and their producers. In our usual vibe, we enjoy a drink or two after.

Open to all, no experience necessary. The event is free of charge and drinks are on us but if you’re able to, we suggest making a small donation (£5-10) to our favourite Margate grassroots project - Dane Valley Woods - turning a former waste site into a thriving woodland for all to enjoy. You can make your contribution here.
