About this Event
Calling all coffee enthusiasts…join Pietro Comino in this unique masterclass to deepen your understanding of coffee's cultural significance, explore coffee varieties, debunk myths, and learn the art of espresso making.
It’s no secret that coffee is a staple in Italian culture. Pietro will trace the evolution of coffee consumption in Italy and the development of espresso machines, highlighting key innovations. He’ll discuss the characteristics, cultivation environments, and flavor profiles of Arabica and Robusta beans while correcting common misconceptions about coffee.
This sensory experience will include practical demos and a surprise to bring home.
About Pietro Comino
Pietro's family immigrated from Italy. Following a 10 year stint in Ottawa's tech sector, Pietro decided to follow his passion for artisanal coffee by creating an "Italian" coffee that is made locally. He created Francesco's Coffee Company Inc. to make this coffee using traditional Italian recipes and techniques. Pietro's expertise in coffee roasting, café operations, and the technical know-how of espresso machines places him as a leading expert in the coffee industry.
