Coffee Addicts Classes: Craft Your Perfect Pour Over

Interested in pour-over coffee but not sure where to start? The good news is that it’s much simpler than you might think.

This private, hands-on class will help you understand the fundamentals of pour-over brewing and how small changes can make a big difference in your cup. We’ll help you build a simple, repeatable recipe and show you how to adjust it based on the coffee you’re brewing and the flavours you enjoy.

What you’ll learn

• How to build a simple, repeatable pour-over recipe
• How coffee-to-water ratio affects your brew
• How grind size and water temperature affect flavour
• How pouring technique and flow rate affect extraction
• How to identify tasting notes, body and mouthfeel
• How to adjust your recipe to get more of the flavours you enjoy

Personalized to your coffee preferences

There’s no single “perfect” pour-over recipe.

We’ll start with the fundamentals, then experiment with different variables to help you understand what’s happening in your cup. Whether you prefer something bright and fruity or rich and full-bodied, we’ll help you learn how to adjust your brew to get closer to the coffee you love.

Who this class is for

This class is a great fit if you:

• Are new to pour-over and want to learn where to start
• Already make pour-over but aren’t getting consistent results
• Want to better understand grind size, ratios and technique
• Want to learn how to bring out different flavours in your coffee
• Would like personalized guidance instead of endlessly experimenting at home

A couple of things to know before you book:

• We have a variety of pour-over brewers, grinders and brewing equipment available in our showroom to learn with.
• Have a favourite brewing method or a specific piece of equipment you want to learn more about? Let us know and, whenever possible, we’ll tailor the class around it.
• You’ll leave with a FREE bag of coffee, valued up to $27 so you can put what you’ve learned into practice at home.
