How Coffee is Made

$30/person

This 90-minute deep-dive coffee workshop is our personal spin on the How It’s Made series, covering all things coffee from fresh seedling to brewed beverage. Most of us know the story of how coffee migrated around the world, but have you ever thought about how coffee transforms from a germinated greenish seed to a warm brown liquid? We’re here to answer all your questions. This workshop will guide you through every step of the process from views of coffee farms to walks through processing mills, from watching a roaster in action to understanding the brewing process; our goal is to give you a full picture of the entire coffee industry in less than two hours! Walk away with an understanding of all the hands that touch your bag of coffee before it reaches yours.
