Itinerary:
Welcome & Introduction
We’ll start with a warm welcome and a quick chat about the fascinating world of coffee. You’ll learn about the different roasts we’ll be using and how each one pairs with a specific brewing method to bring out its best flavor.
Explore the French Press
Our first stop is the French Press. You’ll discover how this simple and elegant method gives you a full-bodied, rich cup of coffee. We’ll show you the perfect grind size, water temperature, and steep time to unlock all the bold flavors without the bitterness. You’ll have a chance to brew your own and taste the difference this full immersion method makes.
The Art of the Chemex
Next, we’ll introduce you to the beautiful and precise Chemex. This pour-over method is all about clarity and a clean, aromatic cup of coffee. You’ll learn the importance of the gooseneck kettle and how to pour in a slow, circular motion to achieve the perfect extraction. We’ll guide you step-by-step as you craft your own delicious, clean-tasting brew.
Lunch Break
Time to relax and refuel! We’ve scheduled 40 minutes for you to enjoy a delicious lunch and give your palate a well-deserved break before we move on to our final, authentic Costa Rican brewing adventure.
Discover the Café Chorreado and the Vandola
After lunch, we’ll celebrate local tradition with the Café Chorreado. This classic Costa Rican method uses a simple wooden stand and a “bolsita” (a reusable cloth filter). We’ll show you how this straightforward technique produces a smooth, balanced cup that’s been a staple in Costa Rican homes for generations. You’ll get to try your hand at this unique method and taste the simple perfection of a traditional brew.
Q&A and Departure
Before you leave, we’ll wrap up with a final Q&A session. Feel free to ask any remaining questions, take some photos, and share your experience with us. We’ll make sure you leave with great memories and a new appreciation for every cup you drink.
