Aroma Workshops
From Brew Camp to Latte Art and a class just for chocolate, July is a great month for education.
Overview
If you’ve been wondering how to tell chocolatey accents from nutty tones, why it is that the coffee you brew at home’s never as good as the one from your favourite cafe, or how you can turn your lattes into artworks, July is your month. In the lead-up to Aroma Day, Sydneysiders will get the chance to spend an hour or two expanding their coffee-related skills and knowledge via a series of workshops.
Some focus on tasting and cupping, others on roasting and brewing and others still on coffee's illustrious history. There’s pretty much something for everyone, whether you’re a beginner who can’t differentiate a dark roast from a smooth blend or a connoisseur who’s ready to become an officially credited barista.
Highlights include the 'Coffee Appreciation Course', where you’ll come to understand why you prefer one barista over another (assuming, of course, that it’s their brewing ability we’re talking about); 'Brew Camp', which will teach you the skills necessary to perfecting the pour over brewing method; 'Chocolate - Bean to Bar', during which you'll get to taste a whole bunch of different chocolates under the guidance of expert local chocolatiers; and Latte Art with ASCA, where 2011 NSW barista champ Alex Stathis and 2011 NSW latte art winner Jibbi Little will show you how to froth and drip like a master.
