How to Make Pour Over Coffee like a Pro
Learn how to make the perfect pour over coffee
What participants do
Making coffee at home can seem hit or miss - you might have a great tasting cup one day, but a more average cup the next. The perfect pour over doesn’t happen by accident, but luckily the techniques are easy to learn, and even easier to repeat. When you join your Driftaway coffee educator for this 60 minute online class, you’ll learn how to make a delicious pour over in your own kitchen, day after day - hot or iced!
Similar to cooking or baking, coffee brewing has specific techniques that anyone can learn, so this class is an equally exciting gift for those who love coffee or those who are coffee-curious - and it’s especially fun with a team or with prospects. You’ll be working with the Pour Over Kit that comes with the purchase of this class: it includes five hand-selected coffees from around the world as well as a Hario V60 brewer, scale, and gooseneck kettle.
More than just teaching the mechanics, your coffee educator will explain some of the whys behind great pour over techniques. You’ll leave this class with the increased awareness of how a coffee can taste, the ability to figure out why it might not be tasting the best, and the know-how to correct it.
