Who is this for?

Who loves coffee classes?

Our classes have been a hit with bachelor/bachelorette parties, friends and families on vacation, dedicated coffee nerds, companies seeking fun team building activities, and casual sippers who just want an experience that is out of the ordinary!

No experience necessary - this class is for any and all curious to learn more about coffee. We do recommend this class for ages 12 and up (accompanied by a guardian under the age of 16).
