Crop to Cup – A Guided Coffee Experience

Duration: 2 hours 45 mins

Group size: 6 people

Coffee is something many of us drink every day – often without thinking much about it. This workshop is an invitation to take notice and experience coffee more consciously, from it's origins to the final brew. Crop to Cup is a small-group, hands-on experience exploring where coffee comes from, how it’s transformed, and how simple choices can dramatically improve what ends up in your cup at home. This is not a lecture, and it’s not about expertise. It’s about curiosity, noticing, and gaining practical confidence – together

What to expect

Over three engaging, hands-on hours, we’ll move through four connected stages of the coffee journey:

•⁠ ⁠From crop to green coffee
Explore where coffee comes from and what shapes its flavour before it’s ever roasted – through tactile samples, images and discussion.

•⁠ ⁠Roasting & flavour
Understand how roasting transforms coffee, and why different roast styles taste the way they do, with guided tasting along the way.

•⁠ ⁠Sensory exploration & tasting
Learn how to taste coffee more confidently through a short sensory exercise and a guided comparative cupping of several coffees.

•⁠ ⁠Brewing & practical skills
Get hands-on with a range of brewing methods, learning simple principles that can dramatically improve your coffee at home. Whatever equipment you use

A short break with fruit and snacks is included to reset the senses and keep the energy high.

What you’ll leave with

• A freshly roasted bag of Contour Coffee to take home.

• Clear, practical brewing principles you can apply immediately at home (regardless of brew method)

• A simple framework for tasting coffee – helping you recognise flavour, quality and freshness with confidence.

• A printed learning cards covering key ideas from the workshop (origin, flavour and brewing)

• A small thank-you discount for future Contour events or coffee releases

Who this is for
Curious coffee drinkers – whether you're just getting started or already deep into it. No prior knowledge required, just curiosity and a willingness to get involved.
