Manual brewing remains as one of the most versatile ways to enjoy coffee. Personally, I find this method of enjoying coffee to be both the most exciting and nerve-wracking; exciting because a single coffee can show completely different sides of itself depending on how you brew it, and nerve-wracking because seemingly small variables, like water composition, type of brewer, pour structure, grind size, agitation, and timing, compound to create your final cup.
After years of research and experience, both behind the bar, teaching classes, and at home, my manual brewing workshops are focused on mastering the variables that go into manual brewing, and using scaleability to customize your coffee, your way. I'm excited to share my tips and experiences with anyone who loves coffee as much as I do, in hopes that we build a greater understanding of the practice of pour-over.
I ask you to consider this workshop like a lab; an opportunity to try, fail, and ask questions. Together, we will focus on how to:
- Taste coffee through cupping, and form a group definition of flavour based on our sensory experience through taste, aroma, and feeling
- Understand the basic attributes that shape our pour, such as grind size, water temperature, brew ratio, and pour structure
- Explore supplementary elements to enhance or change our manual brewing (i.e. brewer shape, pour technique, agitation, etc.)
- Train brewing techniques to achieve precision in our manual brewing practice
- Experiment! We'll be using 100g of gifted coffee (generously provided by Spilt Milk) to build our final brew recipe
- Finish with a group cupping and enhance our sensory experience of coffee through qualitative and quantitative perspectives
Our workshop isn't about learning a standard recipe; it's about learning everything that goes into a recipe to be able to create our own. It’s a space to ask questions, experiment, and better understand how small changes can completely shift your perception of coffee. By the end of class, you’ll leave with a stronger framework for brewing, tasting, and thinking through your brewing choices with more confidence.
What a Great Class!
"Emily was super knowledgeable and such a nice instructor :) I highly recommend taking this class!"
- Rhyan, Calgary AB
One-of-a-kind Experience!
"Emily was super approachable and knowledgeable when helping us learn all about the brand-new pour over set we bought. Emily spent about an hour answering our questions, explaining new terms, and making us 'demo' coffees with the setup we wanted. To then come back for a coffee making class, just the two of us, getting to learn and practice. Exceptional service and fantastic value. Highly recommend."
- Brodie R., Canmore AB
Great Class with Emily!
"A friend and I attended a 2-hour pour over class hosted by Emily. It was a great experience and I learned a lot! The value and quality of the class was amazing!"
- Cameron J., Edmonton AB
