Volcano Coffee Works: Home Brewing & Coffee Sensory Masterclass

We love coffee, and we suspect you’re falling in love with it too. We want to teach you how to enjoy it at its absolute best: how to brew like an expert barista, how to make coffee that tastes the absolute best it can, and then take those skills back to your family and friends to spread the love.

Our Masterclasses, held in our Brixton Roastery, are a fantastic way to spend a Saturday among friends old and new (that’s us, by the way). Making great coffee is a science, for sure – the water and the milk need to be the right temperature, the beans ground the right way, the cup tilted just so … but more than that, coffee is an art. Science never smells as good as our masterclasses do, trust us. The classes give you the chance to learn from award winning and championship level Baristas (yes – there are Barista championships). It’s not just about learning to make great coffee, it’s about learning to taste and enjoy it. It’s less of a coffee class and more of a coffee celebration.

About the masterclass

We’re always excited to furnish you with a bag of our expertly blended and roasted coffee to take home. But what then? A cup of coffee is the easiest thing in the world to make, isn’t it? True – but it can be so much more than you think. In this class you’ll learn the secrets and tips to making perfect coffee at home. How to understand what size to grind your beans, how much coffee to use, what temperature your water should be and how all of that can tweak and subtley change the flavour of those roasted beans. We’ll teach you how to make coffee that is perfectly yours.

Just as important to us is a celebration of the origins of our coffee. The communities that grow our beans are at the heart of what we do, and we’re always excited to show off about them and celebrate the hard work that goes into growing coffee and the extraordinary difference that farming techniques, altitudes, soils and culture makes to the taste of the beans. You’ll see why we work so hard to reward their hard work.
