Coffee 101 (May 30)
Saturday, May 30 | 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
Harmons Santa Clara Cooking School
Chef Stephanie Cardinal
This class is a guided tasting class focused on building your palate from the ground up—no equipment obsession, no overwhelm. We start with what you’re tasting, why it changes, and how to recognize quality (or lack of it) long before you ever brew.
We’ll move through a structured tasting journey beginning with espresso, layering in simple pairings that reveal how flavor shifts, and finishing with brewed coffees that highlight differences in roast, extraction, and texture. Along the way, we’ll also talk about what actually matters when buying coffee—what to look for on a bag, what to ignore, and how to make better choices without overthinking it.
This is coffee, slowed down and made legible. Chef's recipes provided.
Tasting Lineup (seasonal):
- Espresso tasting + palate calibration
