Here’s a rundown of what we’ll be up to:

Coffee—9 am – 10 am

A causal time to grab some coffee. Dave and Zach will be hanging out making drinks for people. Think of this as a pop-up cafe, but you don’t have to go anywhere. Grab an espresso or cappuccino, ask questions, or just hang out.

Espresso Tasting Experiment

Learn a little about espresso theory and follow it up with a experiment in tasting espresso. We’ll talk about what to taste for, what you’re tasting, and how to manipulate variables to get a delicious demitasse of espresso.

A little espresso knowledge coming in would be helpful—we’re going to hit the ground running!
