Coffee Cupping for Beginners

Taste with intention. This is a fun, guided coffee tasting with simple education that helps you know what you like and why. You will taste coffees side by side, and I’ll walk you through exactly how to taste on purpose, not just sip and guess. You’ll learn what to look for, how to spot specific notes, and how to tell the difference between acidity, sweetness, bitterness, body, and finish.

You will also learn why coffees taste different, and why they should. We’ll cover the real-world factors that shape flavor, like origin, processing, roast approach, and freshness, plus the brewing variables that can make the same coffee taste totally different at home.

It’s relaxed and social, but you’ll leave with practical clarity. You’ll be able to describe what you like, recognize common flavor families, and make better brewing choices with confidence.

What we’ll do:

• Guided tasting of multiple coffees side by side
