☕ The Experience:
Most coffee lovers focus on the bean, but the true secret to a balanced brew often lies in the grind.
Using a single Colombian coffee bean as the foundation, Chef Marques Clark will guide guests through an engaging tasting experience that reveals how grind size dramatically changes flavor, aroma, body, and overall character.
Guests will compare three distinct grind profiles:
☕ Fine Grind – Rich body with deep caramelized sugars, dark chocolate notes, and a smooth finish.
☕ Medium Grind – A balanced expression highlighting bright acidity, citrus sweetness, and clean flavor.
☕ Coarse Grind – A lighter-bodied cup featuring crisp fruit notes and subtle floral characteristics.
Through visual demonstrations, tactile comparisons, and guided tastings, participants will gain a practical understanding of coffee extraction and discover why the perfect cup depends on more than just the bean.
