Brewing Mastery: Pour-Over, French Press, AeroPress & Espresso

Pour-Over, French Press, AeroPress & Espresso

Great coffee gets more repeatable when you understand the relationship between coffee, water, time, temperature, and technique.

Join Six Rows Café for a hands-on, two-hour specialty-coffee workshop focused on brewing with intention. This session is designed for coffee drinkers, TSU students, aspiring baristas, hospitality professionals, and home brewers who want to move beyond guessing and learn how to adjust a brew with confidence.

Participants will work through pour-over, French press, AeroPress, and espresso while learning how to use ratios, grind size, timing, and sensory feedback to create a more balanced cup.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• How coffee-to-water ratios affect strength, clarity, body, and balance

• How to use a scale, timer, and a basic brewing recipe to create consistency

• How to adjust grind size, water temperature, agitation, dose, and brew time

• How to brew with pour-over, French press, AeroPress, and espresso equipment

• How to recognize under-extraction, over-extraction, weak body, excessive bitterness, and imbalance

• How to make one intentional change at a time when a brew does not taste right

WHAT TO EXPECT

This is a hands-on workshop. Participants will observe demonstrations, practice selected brewing techniques, taste coffee prepared through different methods, and compare how ratios and brew variables change the cup.

No professional barista experience is required. This class is best for people who already enjoy coffee and want practical skills they can use at home, at work, or in a hospitality setting.

All brewing equipment, practice coffee, water, and tasting materials are provided during the session.

YOUR TICKET INCLUDES

• Two-hour instructor-led specialty-coffee workshop

• Guided practice across multiple brewing methods

• Comparative coffee tastings and ratio-based brew evaluation

• Access to brewing equipment and class materials during the session

• Practical brewing notes and extraction guidance to use at home
