Description
Step into our coffee lab on Calle Santa Teresa (next to Sta. Teresa 385) in the heart of Cusco City for a hands-on, one-hour 'Brew Your Own' workshop. We don't just serve you a cup of coffee; we hand over the bar so you can master the V60 pour-over yourself.
Your experience begins with a practical breakdown of extraction theory. We will explore exactly why a light roast and a more developed roast demand completely different water temperatures, grind sizes, and brewing ratios. Once the parameters are set, we lock in a ratio and hand you a written recipe card to follow.
Next, you take over the brew bar. Armed with the day’s brewer—typically a V60—along with freshly roasted coffee, you will dose your grams and execute the pour. While you make the cup yourself, we stand by to coach your timing, bloom phase, and concentric pour pattern. This is your hour to work the equipment, not ours.
After tasting your first attempt, we refine your technique. You will brew a second time, applying adjustments based on our feedback. We will compare both cups side-by-side, analyzing the flavor differences so you can physically taste the impact of your pour dynamics.
You will leave not only with improved technique, but also with an SCA flavor wheel, your recipe cards, and clear, personalized notes on what to adjust when brewing at home or in your hotel.
