extra-curricular

Coffee X

A series of talks and discussions from coffee professionals. Tastings, interactive experiments and coffee as a way of bringing communities together.

Bringing Home the Coffee Farm

Drink the coffee, learn the context. An in-depth exploration of a single coffee-producing country through tasting, music and historical background.

Sensory Experiments

Experimenting together on what we don’t yet know about coffee - challenging established knowledge and seeing what’s true for ourselves. Freshness, roast development, brewing techniques, equipment, and more as we go.

Coffee as a Career

Talks and panel discussions with people who have built a career in coffee.

More Than Coffee

Social enterprise, and using coffee to help local communities. Learn from established projects - and maybe start one ourselves.
