You’ll also learn the basics of professional coffee evaluation and put your palate to the test with special limited-release coffees and an “educators’ choice” selection. Whether you’re new to coffee tasting or looking to sharpen your skills, this class is an opportunity to slow down, taste with intention, and discover just how much there is to learn in a cup of coffee.

What grind should I choose for my brewing method?
Whole Bean
Whole bean coffee is unprocessed and unground, preserving peak freshness and flavor until ground to the desired consistency for various brewing methods.
Espresso
Espresso grind is a fine, powdery grind with a texture like granulated sugar, crafted to create high-pressure extraction, resulting in a rich, concentrated shot with bold flavor and velvety crema.
Aeropress
Aeropress grind is a medium-fine to fine grind, similar to table salt or slightly finer, allowing for versatile brewing times and methods, resulting in a clean, rich, and full-flavored cup.
Cone Filter or V60
Cone filter grind is a medium-fine grind with a consistency similar to table salt, designed to optimize water flow and extraction in cone-shaped coffee makers, enhancing clarity and balanced flavor.
Flat Filter or Cold Brew
Flat filter grind is a medium grind with a consistency like sea salt, ideal for flat-bottom drip brewers, promoting even extraction and producing a balanced, smooth cup of coffee.
Chemex or Kalita
Chemex grind is a medium-coarse grind, similar to coarse sand, designed to ensure a slower extraction and clean, bright cup with pronounced clarity and delicate flavors.
French Press or Clever
French press grind is a coarse grind, with a texture like breadcrumbs or coarse sea salt, allowing for full immersion brewing and producing a rich, full-bodied cup with minimal sediment.
How fresh is your coffee?
Our coffee is roasted fresh to order and ships within 24 hours to ensure peak flavor. For optimal taste, we recommend brewing between 4 and 21 days after the roast date—this allows the coffee to degas and fully develop. After that window, it will still taste great for several weeks (or more), especially if stored in a cool, airtight container.
Do you offer subscriptions?
Our subscription products deliver freshly roasted coffee straight to your door on your schedule, with full flexibility to skip, pause, or customize anytime. Choose from curated options or build your own to match your brew style and flavor preferences. See all subscriptions.
