Everything but espresso! We will take you through a guided tasting of coffee styles to help you navigate the sometimes overwhelming choice of beans available to home consumers. Once you have found your perfect coffee we will demonstrate key brewing principles before guiding you through a hands-on demonstration of the most common non-espresso methods.
