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.

This class might be over, but get first dibs on new sessions and brand-new classes by signing up on our ultra-rad mailing list.

Taste four different coffees from around the world, and explore each of their unique taste profiles.

We'll start with a short presentation on coffee tasting, and then proceed to an interactive coffee tasting session, also known as a "coffee cupping." Through the coffee tasting session, you will explore the aromas and tastes of all four coffees side by side. You will understand the terms used by coffee professionals to describe a coffee, and experience how different coffees can taste based on where they are from and how they have been roasted.

Little known fact: Coffee has more than 800 aromatic compounds compared to the 300-400 aromatic compounds found in wine.
