Coffee Cupping


Coffee conoisseurs from the casual coffee drinker to the professional barista enjoy expanding their minds and palates to a better understanding of what makes for good coffee. This is why fun and enlightening coffee cupping classes are popping up around the country.

Coffee cupping classes are a cultural experience. They are a staple on the northwestern coast of the United States where the coffee industry is king and specialty coffee making is a craft and artform.

It's a class that is equally appealing to the professional and non-professional barista alike. An added bonus is it's a great way to meet interesting people that share an affection for coffee.
