Oops, you probably did not yet taste specialty coffee. That's like only having tasted one kind of red wine but never different grapes, white wine, orange wine, sparkling wine. Just like wine and beer, the world of coffee is super diverse. From the Nutty and Chocolaty flavours associated with Brazilian coffee, the Earthy and Spicy flavours associated with Indonesian coffee to the floral, delicate, black tea like flavors associated with a washed Ethiopian coffee.
Coffee gets it's initial flavor from the variety of the berry (the bean is the seed of the coffee cherry, a fruit!), the terroir and the processing.
Discover the art of coffee tasting as professionals expertly sniff, slurp, and spit... and trust me, you won't want to miss the chance to savor coffee from a cupping bowl in this immersive experience.
Coffee tasters, much like wine connoisseurs, often spit out the coffee unless it is truly exceptional. This practice helps prevent intoxication, ensuring that each cup is evaluated fairly without the influence of caffeine. Each person's response to caffeine is unique, and you probably have a good sense of how it affects you. Caffeine is an alkaloid that enters the bloodstream rapidly, so spitting out the coffee doesn't completely negate its effects. Drinking plenty of water and not consuming coffee on an empty stomach can help manage its impact.
The tasting experience lasts for 1.5 hours and is priced at 50 per person (90 for two). This exclusive event is limited to a maximum of 6 participants and is insipered by the Japanese Omakase Coffee Tasting Experience, featuring a distinctive Dutch twist.

How come you might think all coffee tastes the same?
Let us prove you wrong
It's possible that your coffee experience has been limited to commercial blends, which often mix together 15 to 30 different single origin coffees. These blends are crafted for consistency, ensuring that you know exactly what to expect with each cup. While this may seem convenient, it can also lead to a rather uninspiring experience. Imagine only ever drinking one type of tea—wouldn't you crave the excitement of exploring diverse flavors and aromas?
Embrace the world of single origin coffees and discover a whole new realm of taste!
Too much of the coffee available today is dull and bitter. Treat yourself to the exceptional flavor you truly deserve.
Do you appreciate having options?
Are you eager to try different flavors?
Are you willing to embrace the unexpected?
If you’re nodding your head in agreement, then this Coffee Tasting Experience is an absolute must for you (pun intended).
Not only do we explore the fascinating flavor origins mentioned earlier, but we also dive into the two pivotal elements that elevate coffee flavor: the art of roasting and the science of brewing. Don’t miss out on this flavorful journey!
Get ready to dive into an array of coffee roasts and brewing styles, plus some intriguing coffee blends... while you might know about the espresso martini, there are numerous other scrumptious cocktails, mocktails, and coffee-infused beverages to try.
Why do coffee experts avoid adding milk to their coffee?
Milk masks the true flavor of good coffee
Milk in coffee may seem appealing, but it often masks the harsh bitterness and astringent feel of subpar dark roast blends. By sweetening and adding milk, these drinks are cleverly marketed at exorbitant prices—three to five times that of a pure black espresso or filter coffee. This strategy not only enriches commercial coffee brands but also fuels the alarming rise in obesity and diabetes. It's time to reconsider what we’re really paying for in our coffee choices!
Experience the art of coffee by joining a Workshop, Masterclass, or a professional Coffee Skills Program course, authorized by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) at Amsterdam Coffee Lab, or elevate your skills with a customized course right at your home or office!
Imagine hosting this workshop, or a tailored training session, right in your own home or office! It's a fantastic way to engage and inspire your family, friends, colleagues, or clients. Don't miss the chance to create unforgettable memories together!
