The Fort Lee series

Learn it, then do it yourself.

Two classes on the same two coffees, four weeks apart. Coffee 101 shows you what to do and why. Hands-On is where you actually brew it, round after round. Take either on its own, or bundle both and save.

What you'll taste

The coffees featured in these classes.

The Fort Lee classes brew these two side by side: a reference point, then your own preference. Both are the kind of cup that's easier to appreciate once you know what you're looking for.

Panama · Hachi "GIN" 銀

Hachi Coffee Project "GIN"

An experimental collaboration between Diego Bermudez and Allan Hartmann, built to push flavor beyond what's expected. Grapefruit and raspberry up top, a cinnamon finish, heavy body.

Honduras · Fincas Mierisch

Santa Lucia Casona Gesha, Washed

The farm's first Gesha planting, revived from near-abandonment in 2014. Delicate and floral: jasmine, brown sugar, and fresh berries with a crisp finish.

Who it's for

Every class is open to all.

No experience required

New to coffee?

Bought beans you loved at the cafe and couldn't recreate at home? You'll leave with a framework that works on any new bag, plus the language to describe what you're tasting.

Already a coffee nerd?

Time at the brewer with controlled variables most home setups can't run, plus structured palate work alongside other people who care about the same details.

Good to know

Do I need any coffee experience to attend?
No. Every class is open to all. Whether it's your first pour-over or you already geek out over ratios, you'll leave with a framework that works on any bag.
What should I bring?
Just yourself. We provide the coffee, the gear, and everything you brew and taste. You'll leave with a bag of coffee to practice on at home.
How does the bundle work?
The bundle covers both Fort Lee classes, Coffee 101 on Aug 29 and Hands-On Brewing on Sept 26, for $120. Book it as one ticket and you're set for both dates.
What's the refund policy?
Seats are non-refundable. Each class is capped at a small group, so please book only if you can make it. Sessions run 10 AM to 12 PM, so please arrive on time so you don't miss the setup.

Pick a class and pull up a seat.

Small groups fill up fast, so grab your spot on Eventbrite.
