Barista Basics Coffee Workshop

Kicking off with our barista basics workshop, this is a real hands-on experience. If you love all things coffee and are ready to take your skills to the next level, this is the one for you! Over 2.5 hours, you’ll be let loose on a professional-grade espresso machine, with guidance from head chimp Andy!

You’ll start the session with a quick introduction to speciality coffee, what it is, how it’s grown, how we source it, etc. Next, we will take you to the espresso machine, showing you all the bells and whistles. You’ll learn how to dose, tame, tamp and extract your espresso and how to check if it’s been over or under-extracted.

Once you have perfected this base, the real fun begins! We will talk you through all the popular coffee drinks, how to make them, the ratios, the differences and how to make them! This is where you’ll be able to put all your great knowledge and new skills to the test.

Create your own coffee blend

Next up is one of our most popular coffee courses, Making Your Coffee Blend! Once again, we will start with some background on speciality coffee before we get cupping! You can try all our brews and pick which ones will blend perfectly in the cup.

Once you have finalised your selection, you will combine the beans to create your bespoke blend! We can then grind or keep them as whole beans for you to take home and enjoy!

Roast your own coffee

This course is a real treat for people who love coffee a little bit more, as this allows you to roast your own beans! In this 2.5 – 3.5-hour course, you will use our Aillio Bullet R1 roaster to prepare 1kg of beans for your mug.

Before you get let loose, we will give you some background on speciality coffee and how this roaster works. Then it gets to the technical bit: you will turn 1 kg of green beans into perfectly roasted coffee. You’ll then get to take your freshly roasted beans home (either whole bean or ground), where you can taste and test all your hard work!

Roasting and brewing coffee school

We are finishing off with our most popular course, roasting and brewing coffee school! This course will give you first-hand experience of what goes on here at Two Chimps HQ. You’ll watch a live roasting demonstration with a step-by-step explanation throughout, observing the colour changes and smells.

To round off the session, we will look at the different brewing devices, grind sizes, brewing ratios, and basically everything you need to achieve consistently good coffee at home! You’ll also take two bags of coffee home to enjoy.
