Appreciate the art of coffee at Paradox Coffee Roasters’ cupping class
While many of us cling desperately to our morning coffee as though it’s our life support system, how many of us truly appreciate the complexities and nuances of the beans? If you haven’t the faintest idea about your brew, sign yourself up for an Introduction to Cupping class at Paradox Coffee Roasters.
Embark on a journey of discovery as you sniff, swill and slurp your way to a better understanding of coffee under the erudite eye of master roaster, Matt Trow. Matt will guide you though the process of observing the tastes and flavour characteristics of brewed coffee in its purest form by first assessing the dry fragrance, then the crust before inviting you to slurp the brewed coffee over your palate to analyse the unique flavour profile.
Paradox Coffee Roasters’ Introduction to Cupping Class will impart knowledge about how to cup coffee to industry standards, taste correctly, and learn how to evaluate a coffees in terms of flavour, after taste, acidity, body, balance, sweetness, uniformity, and cleanliness. The class is $50, which includes a 250g bag of coffee to practice your newfound tasting skills at home plus a bite of lunch from Paradox Coffee Roasters. The sessions will be held on Saturday August 15 and Sunday August 30 and are limited to only six people per class so if you snooze you lose. See our Stumble Guide for opening times.
