Three and a half hours. Seven phases. Your hands on the kettle

Here's exactly how the class runs, phase by phase. Every lab is hands on, with your own kettle and scale. The class runs twice, so each phase shows both times, the morning slot first, then the afternoon.

The masterclassSat 08 Aug · 9:30 AM – 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM – 5:30 PM

We go through the four things that change your coffee, and the simple reason behind each one. No need to overthink it.

The four basics9:45–10:05 or 2:15–2:35

Brew ratios Why weighing in grams beats using spoons.

Grind size How fine or coarse you grind changes how fast it brews.

Water What's in your water, and why boiling hot water can hurt the cup.

Pour & time How pouring style or stirring changes everything.

10:05–10:25 or 2:35–2:55

Live grind size demo: three cups, same coffee and water, only the grind changes. Taste them side by side.

You'll leave withthe four things that change your coffee, and which one to fix first

plus a real break, your own brewing station, and a take home kit to keep.

Small group, full kit

A small, premium class, set up so every pair has the gear and the time to actually brew.

A station per pairYour own station

Real kit, two to a bench

With up to 7 of you, we run three to four full stations, shared two at most. Each has a scale and timer, a gooseneck kettle, a grinder, and the brewers.

No waiting on waterWater on tap

Hot water, always ready

A boiler runs in the background to keep every kettle topped up, so you're never waiting on water to heat, the usual reason brewing classes run late.

Taste, don't swallowSpit cups

Taste it all, no jitters

Three and a half hours of brewing and tasting adds up, so every station has spit cups, you can taste and judge every brew without drinking each one down.

The next class

One Saturday this August in Bangalore, running twice so you can pick the half of the day that suits you. A three and a half hour hands on class, capped at 7.
