Education is at the heart of Counter Culture Coffee. These in-person classes empower coffee drinkers of any experience level to brew the best cup of coffee.

Developing our palates is an essential practice for evaluating coffees. Cupping Fundamentals introduces students to cupping, a standardized way of assessing coffee. This workshop provides an overview of the uses and history of cupping, as well as common terminology and protocol guidelines. Cupping Fundamentals also includes a primer on the human ability to process complex information through sensory perception. During this class we learn how to taste coffee, use common language when describing flavors, acidity, body and aftertaste. This lab includes 2 coffee cuppings and few sensory activities. We are thrilled to welcome you back to our Training Center in Los Angeles.
