The brewing workshop was a great way to highlight how much of an effect on taste different brewing methods have. I would consider it a beginner level class for those that are moving away from K-Cups or Folgers and are interested in buying whole beans at different roast and processing methods. Our guide, Marissa, was a lot of fun and accommodated my group's needs (my wife translating english to Spanish and my 4-year old wanting to participate). The coffee was sampled was freshly roasted and had great flavors to it, which was brought out differently by the french press, pour over, and espresso preparation. It was a great laid back experience set on a coffee farm overlooking the Kona coast. I would recommend this to anyone looking to sample some great coffee and you may just expand your knowledge at the same time.
