We did this experience as a family of four. Our teenage girls (and us!) loved it. It was great to learn so much about coffee, Starbucks and to not only taste different kinds but also have a chance to experiment! Thanks so much to Betty and Lauren who made it lots of fun too!

Would not recommend the experience. First, it’s only 40ish min. Not the 1.5 hours that are advertised. It’s not in a separate room. You’re only behind a curtain, so you get all the noise from the dining room. Also, some of the advice was just wrong. We were told that 6 grams of coffee to 11 grams of water is the ideal ratio. A simple google search (and my personal experience) will tell you 1:14 to 1:16 coffee to water ratio is best. When I asked about grind size, the presenter just started spouting off numbers 6, 7, 8 without giving any context like coarse, fine etc. All grinders are not the same, so 6, 7, 8 means nothing. She didn’t even tell us which grinder they use (she couldn’t remember the name). I’m by no means a coffee expert, but even I knew that the advice in the class was wrong. So, skip the class. Maybe just head up to the bar for a fun drink and call it a day.
