FILTER/SLOW COFFEE WORKSHOP

This workshop on slow coffee brewing is a must for everyone. There is far too much shaming about the percolator, plastic cones and other slow methods that we have mostly forgotten about. Many of us, for example, own a plunger coffee maker (French Press), but don't know how to use it and therefore consider it a probably mediocre or uninteresting method. And yet, think again!

In this workshop, we will learn about recipes (coffee/water ratio), techniques and brewing times for different brewing methods. We will explore tools such as the Kalita Wave 185, the Aeropress, the Hario V60, the Clever Dripper and many other methods.

Don't panic, all this is within your reach, you just have to tame them, to finally make the best coffee in the world, every morning, at home, and at much lower cost than with espresso machines.

The slow/filter methods bring a lot of subtlety, and allow to greatly appreciate the floral and fruity terroirs, often close to tea, when the preparation is mastered.

These methods are also very close to what professional tasters experience during cupping. Hence their revival since the arrival of specialty coffee some thirty years ago.

Professional baristas often say that if you want the best espresso at home, just go to the local coffee bar. And almost all of them make their morning coffee using slow methods that are easier to understand and incredible for exploring terroirs and fermentations.

On your beans, ready, grind!
