EXPLORE THE PLAYGROUND ☕
Eight planned experiences. One playground. Endless coffee curiosity.
Get involved, meet passionate coffee people, and discover new brewing methods. Here's a preview of what we're building. Stations and demonstrations are planned experiences, subject to final host, equipment, and partner confirmation. Hands-on participation will vary by station.
HOW THE PLAYGROUND WORKS
Explore at your own pace.
Move freely between stations, ask questions, and join available demonstrations. Most stations are planned to feature a knowledgeable host to demonstrate equipment, guide tastings, answer questions, and help guests participate.
Some experiences, including any confirmed screening and special demonstrations, may run at scheduled times. Equipment use and tasting availability may vary; operating every machine is not guaranteed.
No previous coffee knowledge is necessary.
