“It was a great experience at the Grounds Coffee Factory with Emerson being an engaging and knowledgeable host who was able to connect with all members of the group.”
“Emerson was amazing! We loved our coffee tasting experience. Emerson was so passionate about coffee and the process of roasting - he really personalised the experience. We learned so much and absolutely loved the coffee! It was perfect!”
“We'll had a great time. We spent the first 30min leaning about coffee and the roasting process etc. Our feedback and suggestions:
* Start with the tasting so everyone can have a hot cup off coffee while listening to the wonderful and charismatic host
* Instead of having 1 cup for each type of coffee per person, have 1 cup per person and spoon/ladle/pour coffee in. This let's you try a lot more types of coffee without having lots of mugs.
* More varieties/pairs of coffee to compare, e.g:
- "These two are from the same farm, but one is washed vs natural"
- Blends made from different places in the same region to highlight the common characteristics of that region.
- Same region, different altitude.
- Prepare the same coffee 3 different ways to show the difference
* The most fun was trying to guess an unknown coffee based on smell/taste. After initial tasting, provide some unknown samples A,B,C, etc and get people to try and workout which is which, or make it something new and try and guess the origin”
“My partner and I attended the coffee tasting experience with Emerson as more or less beginners to coffee. Emerson was an exceptional guide with an infectious passion for coffee and made us feel confident to explore a completely new experience.
Definitely a must-try experience for anyone interested in learning more about coffee. The experience was above and beyond what we expected.”
“Emerson was amazing at teaching us about the different types of coffee and their flavours. I learned a lot and would absolutely recommend this to friends and family.”
“Excellent experience would highly recommend. Was able to learn and explore different coffee profiles and flavours. Perfect blend of fun and educational!”
“Emerson was incredible as a guide and teacher. His passion for coffee and enthusiasm was very infectious and we all had a great time. It was great seeing behind the scenes of coffee production and the team and I came away from it with a greater understanding of coffee.”
