Coffee and Cocktails, just a few of the new classes at In the Kitchen this fall!

August 20, 2012

I have been waiting to formally announce these two classes until we had the dates set, and now we do!

Three of our local foodies, artists and teachers and baristas are going to be featuring their skills at In the Kitchen this fall! Here are the listings :

Saturday, September 29th 
‘Waking up to the perfect cup’ with Adam Montgomery and Steffen Snell
10am-12 noon
$35

Coffee is full of character; in flavour and texture, through to it’s socio-economic and ecological impact.  This class  is a comprehensive study session tracing coffees path through history, the cultivation process, roasting, and bringing focus and science to the ritual of pulling the full potential out of your coffee.  We will be demonstrating and tasting a variety of specialty coffees using pour over, french press, Aeropress, and also cold brew systems of coffee extraction. Also covered will be maintenance and cleaning procedures for your home brewing equipment.

Both Adam and Steffen work locally as baristi at The Curly Wolf Espresso House in Nevada City.  Steffen has been making coffee professionally and passionately since 1999 when he started as a barista in training at Dean and DeLuca in Washington D.C. where he rose to barista trainer and partook in local espresso competitions. Adam found coffee and started on the path of being a barista in 2010 when he discovered the rarity of people caring about what they do in a service environment which then blossomed into a soul attraction to the ritual of coffee brewing. These two have found a very warm common ground both in serving fine coffee but also in their nearly addictive love of seeking out and tasting the variations and character of the sensory yoga/meta-experience of preparing and drinking the good coffee.
