Workshop | Brew Better Coffee at Home

Want to make coffee at home that tastes as good as you hoped it would?

Join a workshop with James, our Head of Coffee, focusing on soft brew methods. You'll explore brewing, tasting and making simple adjustments when brewing at home.

We’ll taste different roast styles, brew with a range of methods including the AeroPress, V60, Kalita Wave, Ceado Hoop and plunger, and work through an easy recipe you can use with almost any soft brew method. We’ll work on adjusting a brew when it’s too sharp, bitter, strong or weak. 

You’ll leave with practical tips, a recipe to take home, and a better understanding of how to get the most from your coffee and equipment.
