Intro to Cupping and Profiling Class

Intro to Coffee Cupping & Profiling

February 21st | $30 per person

Join us for an engaging introduction to coffee cupping—the standardized method used by professionals to taste, evaluate, and compare coffee. This hands-on class will guide you through the fundamentals of assessing aroma, flavor, body, and acidity while helping you develop a more refined palate.

You’ll learn how coffee origin, processing methods (washed vs. natural), and roast level influence what you taste in the cup. Whether you’re new to specialty coffee or simply curious about how professionals evaluate quality, this class offers an approachable and fun way to deepen your understanding.

Participants will walk through a simplified cupping process, including proper weighing, grinding, brewing with precise ratios, breaking the crust, and tasting techniques used to identify flavor notes like fruit, chocolate, and sweetness. You’ll taste multiple coffees side by side and experience how flavors evolve as the coffee cools.

This class is ideal for beginners, home brewers, and anyone interested in sharpening their sensory skills and gaining insight into how coffee is professionally evaluated.
