Brewing Great Coffee at Home
Taught by Driftaway Coffee
Driftaway Coffee is an online coffee subscription service that starts people off with a tasting kit to discover what kind of coffee they like, and then sends freshly roasted coffee based on your taste profile. It was started by Anu Menon & Suyog Mody to fulfill their desire to create something themselves, do work they are passionate about, as well as a need for and interest in great coffee. They are passionate about their product and making sure that every single step of the process that affects the quality of our coffee is managed carefully. To that effect, they source from a handful of suppliers that they trust, roast their own beans in Red Hook, built their website and designed all the packaging themselves. Check them out at http://driftaway.coffee.
In this class, we'll learn how to brew great coffee at home by using a variety of different home brewers, like a pour over cone, an Aeropress, and a French Press.
We'll start by learning about extraction and how it works in different types of brewers, how to grind coffee for your brewing device, why water temperature matters and how to extract the best-tasting coffee!
If you have a special brewer you'd like to bring from home (or any coffees!), feel free to do so!
