PCR’s coffee lab & training campus is located on an experimental farm located in North Kona. This allows us to seamlessly incorporate farm visits, lectures by local producers, and other unique and valuable supply-chain perspectives into each of our courses as we gaze at coffee trees just outside our windows. We also partner with local producers to collaborate on regularly-scheduled educational opportunities on their farms.

We offer classes and workshops for individuals and groups covering coffee knowledge such as manual brewing skills, introduction to coffee tasting and building sensory skills, espresso and barista skills, and roasting basics.

From beginner workshops, to custom corporate training, to multi-day SCA professional certificate programs – all of our specialty coffee classes are taught by coffee professionals and SCA Authorized Trainers with extensive industry experience as baristas, coffee roasters, and sensory specialists.

Pacific Coffee Research has a wares partnership with notNeutral – ceramicware, glassware and other materials used in our classes are provided by them. All students who register for and complete any class with us will receive exclusive discounts for retail or wholesale purchases through the notNeutral website!
