Three methods, three radically different cups, one afternoon of discovery. This masterclass puts a pour-over dripper, an AeroPress, and a Moka pot in your hands and walks you through the variables that make each one sing \u2014 water temperature, grind coarseness, agitation, and brew time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We divide the session into three focused modules, each lasting roughly forty minutes. In the pour-over module you’ll learn the bloom, the spiral pour, and how to read the bed after drawdown. The AeroPress module covers standard and inverted methods, plus the competition-style recipes that have won national titles. The Moka pot module reclaims the little stovetop brewer from its reputation as a bitter-coffee machine \u2014 with the right grind and heat curve, it produces a dense, sweet shot that rivals a caf\u00e9 cortado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nI’d been using my AeroPress wrong for three years. Forty minutes in, I made the best cup I’ve ever tasted \u2014 in my own kitchen setup.<\/p>\n\u2014 Attendee, January session<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Between modules we taste each brew blind, scoring body, clarity, and sweetness on a simplified card. The side-by-side comparison is revelatory: the same bean tastes like three different coffees depending on the method. Most guests leave with a clear favourite and a recipe card they can replicate at home the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
