What to Expect in a Coffee Workshop:
From Bean to Brew
Most of us enjoy a cup of coffee every morning, but few truly understand the journey behind it. A coffee workshop is more than just brewing — it’s a deep dive into the world of beans, flavors, and techniques that shape every sip.
At Kaiva Kovi Coffee Workshop, we take you on an interactive journey that combines knowledge, hands-on practice, and sensory discovery. Here’s what you can look forward to when you join us:
1. Coffee Species: Arabica vs. Robusta
Learn the differences between the two main coffee species — Arabica with its delicate, complex flavors and Robusta with its bold, earthy strength. You’ll learn how species influence aroma, acidity, and body.
2. Coffee Processing: Washed, Natural, Honey
The way coffee cherries are processed dramatically changes the final cup. Washed coffees are clean and bright, naturals are fruity and sweet, while honey-processed beans strike a balance in between. In our workshop, you’ll discover how each method leaves its mark.
3. Learn Skills You Can Use Daily
Light, medium, or dark roast — each unlocks different flavors. We’ll guide you through roast profiles, helping you understand why your favorite brew tastes the way it does.
4. Specialty Coffee Grading & Sensory Skills
What makes a coffee “specialty grade”? You’ll learn how professionals score beans, and sharpen your own sensory skills using the coffee flavor wheel.
Expect to identify notes like chocolate, berries, nuts, or florals in your cup.
5. Brewing Parameters: The Science of a Good Cup
Brewing isn’t guesswork — it’s science. We’ll cover the key variables:
Grind size (fine, medium, coarse)
Water temperature (how it affects extraction)
Coffee-to-water ratio (getting the balance right)
By experimenting with these, you’ll see how small changes create big differences in taste.
6. Brew Together: Side-by-Side Comparisons
The highlight of every Kaiva Kovi session — brewing and tasting together.
You’ll get hands-on with brewing methods, compare cups brewed with different grind sizes or roasts, and share discoveries with the group.
