If you're hoping to expand your coffee expertise, join this tasting in San Marcos! This tasting class is designed for all coffee enthusiasts who have already dipped their toes into specialty coffee and want to deepen their coffee sensory knowledge.
The main objective of this workshop is to help you build a coffee lexicon like a professional. Attending the Specialty Coffee Tasting workshop previously will greatly help.
Your instructor will guide you through a series of activities that will help you expand on coffee-tasting basics and leave you with a wealth of knowledge! After this class, you will surely have a better appreciation of your morning cup of coffee!
Activity 1: Identify basic taste
We will taste basic water solutions with additives to identify the five basic tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami).
Activity 2: Identify main aroma
Using Le Nez du Cafe, we will smell and categorize the different aromas of the coffee flavor wheel.
Activity 3: Score coffee
Learn how to score coffee! I will introduce the cupping score sheet and every single attribute with more detail and depth.
Activity 4: Taste the roast!
Cupping of the same coffee roasted differently: Light - Light/Medium - Medium - Dark. We will discuss the roast curve and how it affects the flavor profile of a coffee.
Activity 5: Taste the water!
Cupping with different water in the same coffee to identify and discuss the importance of water in coffee.
Activity 6: Taste the extraction
Using the same coffee and same method, by changing the grind size only, we will taste and discuss the effect of brew time on coffee extraction.
Finally, get back home with a free bag of coffee!

I believe communication is the first step to solving anything. That’s why we value trust, transparency, and mindfulness in everything we do. Coffee flows in my blood since my childhood in Paris, France. From the café on the terraces to a warm cup of Turkish coffee at home, it was always a connecting moment between people and culture.
After my engineering degree, months of travel at coffee origins, and years of coffee education in London, UK, I launched Memli Coffee Lab to propose an innovative approach to coffee roasting with a focus on sensory experience, transparency, and education.
Looking back, coffee has always been in my life. As we say in French, it's my "madeleine de Proust" and my glimmer of hope at the same time. I hope you can catch me one day and share ideas around a cup of coffee
