Twenty-five years across Coca-Cola, Costa Coffee and SLN Coffee, driving innovation the whole way. An SCA Evolved Q Grader and ISO 9001 auditor, Dora teaches the quality thinking that keeps a cup consistent.

A relaxed 2 hour tasting. Five coffees, simplest to boldest, until you find the cup that's yours. No jargon, no judgment.




Here's exactly how the session runs, phase by phase. From instant to special prep, until you find your cup.
Look at the colour, smell it, then taste. We go in order, simplest first, so it never gets overwhelming. Then you pick your favourite and learn what you actually like.
Cup 1 · Instant Comforting, familiar, flat. The convenient one.
Cup 2 · Low grade Heavy, bitter, earthy. The cheap supermarket kind.
Cup 3 · Commercial Bittersweet and nutty. The classic café taste.
Cup 4 · Specialty Clean and clear, with notes like citrus, berry or caramel. You can taste where it's from.
Cup 5 · Special prep The surprise cup. Wild, fruity, almost like wine. Made with a special fermentation.

A working bar, not a classroom. A commercial espresso machine + grinder, dump buckets out from minute one, cupping table at the back.
A few quiet calls behind the bar that keep five coffees in two hours calm, clear and easy on your palate.
We brew all five cups just before you sit down, so there's no fiddling with gear once it starts, just clean pours and full focus on the cup.
Each cup is a small 30ml taste, so you try all five styles back to back without a caffeine overload.
Plenty of water and plain, neutral crackers reset your palate as you move from heavy instant to clean specialty, so each cup tastes like itself.
