Coffee Cuppings at Laguna Coffee Co
Do you love a great cup of coffee? The aroma, the steam, the ritual of adding cream or sugar, that first hot sip rejuvenating your body…Well, the owners of The Laguna Coffee Company love coffee even more than you do
“The easiest way to explain a Cupping is to compare it to a wine tasting,” explains Ackley. “I choose 2 roasts for each Cupping, usually one medium and one dark. Participants inspect the beans, which I roast just before the event, noting color and aroma; then the ground beans are also viewed, noting how color and aroma have changed. Finally, hot water is poured over the grinds creating a “coffee crust” which is broken so that the brew can be tasted. The best way to taste is to slurp, which opens the flavors all around the mouth and palate. We discuss the taste, coffee vocabulary, bean selection, roasting methods, brewing tips…In short – the Cupping is everything you ever wanted to know about coffee.”
Participation is free but space is limited. Please
