Ellen, a Somerville resident, has been a certified barista for over three years and store manager/coffee educator at Pavement Coffeehouse in the Back Bay. She loves all things coffee, and and believes that people should (and can!) be able to brew coffee at home just like their favorite baristas in their local coffee establishments. “There are a lot of myths and false information out there about coffee, and it would be an awesome experience to help people learn what is accurate and what is not.”

In this class, participants will get to brew and taste different coffees, as well as learn important variables of the basic chemistry of coffee preparation. Come away more informed about the coffees you buy and drink, as well as how to better prepare them at home.
