Coffee Cupping
Saturday, January 17 @ 10:30
Attention All Coffee Lovers!
Come on by for a Coffee Cupping event with coffee enthusiast Robert Fitzgibbon. Enjoy an informal half hour presentation, covering coffee as an agricultural commodity, how it’s grown and processed, how it’s been consumed throughout history and learn about roasting, aroma, taste and mouthfeel.
Rob will then lead participants in a fun interactive exercise in which they try three different coffees and document what they smell and taste using stickers and a flavor wheel.
The event concludes as participants review their shared perceptions of taste and aroma, have a Q & A session and finish the coffee.
About Rob: Rob Fitzgibbon is a UX professional in the Boston area who has been hosting coffee cuppings since 2014. In between software design and coffee events, Rob writes articles on Essex County history. He is always caffeinated.
Registration is required and spots are limited.
