About this Event
Discover the world of coffee cupping in a relaxed, hands-on class at Torque Coffee. Whether you’re brand-new to tasting coffee or already deep into the rabbit hole, our cupping sessions make the process simple, social, and seriously fun. We walk you through each step of the cupping ritual—breaking the crust, evaluating aroma, slurping loudly (yes, loudly!)—and comparing coffees side by side to uncover surprising flavors and textures.
During the cupping, participants learn how to taste coffee like a pro, using practical, real-world techniques you can apply immediately at home or in a café. We cover how to identify sweetness, acidity, body, and balance, plus how to score coffees the same way industry professionals do. You’ll learn what separates an everyday cup from a truly exceptional coffee, and why even small differences in roast profile or origin create big shifts in flavor.
Torque Coffee’s public cupping class is designed to be welcoming, interactive, and full of “aha!” moments. You’ll leave with sharper senses, a better understanding of how great coffee is evaluated, and a newfound confidence in your ability to spot tasting notes and quality markers. Whether you're a curious beginner, a seasoned barista, or a dedicated coffee nerd, this class will elevate the way you experience every cup.
