Learn the keys to successful coffee brewing using a wide variety of brewing methods from filter drip to syphon pot. This tasting session will explore a single coffee brewed 6 to 8 different ways, each producing a unique taste. A demonstration of the proper proportions and techniques for each method and a discussion of the merits and differences of each style will take place.
We have been working with Brazil’s Daterra Estate since our early days as a micro-roaster occupying a small corner of the Zingerman’s Mail Order warehouse. Over 10 years later, Daterra Estate is still producing some of the finest coffees we have ever tasted, and is the first farm in the world to have been achieved the highest certification on sustainability.
Learn about the story behind the estate, the coffee that is grown there, and why Daterra is one of the most innovative coffee producers in the world. Fernanda Pizol Oliveira and João Carlos Reis are joining us all the way from Brazil to lead a presentation about their farm, and offer a coffee tasting.
Sample coffees from the Africa, Central and South Americas, and the Asian Pacific. We will taste and evaluate these coffees using the techniques and tools used by professional tasters. This is an eye-opening introduction of the world of coffee.
