Your Experience
Step into the world of modern Vietnamese specialty coffee in this fully instructor-led, 3-hour hands-on workshop in Hanoi. This in-depth workshop introduces you to specialty coffee fundamentals, from coffee bean selection and flavor profiles to café brewing standards used in contemporary coffee shops. You’ll immerse into the Vietnamese coffee history and drinking culture, the differences between Robusta and Arabica and also what makes an excellent cup of coffee.
The workshop begins with an introduction to pour-over brewing, including the dripper, kettle, grinder, and scale. You’ll practice controlled pouring, adjusting water temperature and grind size to highlight clarity and flavor balance in Vietnamese specialty beans.
Under the guidance of an experienced barista, you’ll practice espresso extraction, milk steaming for milk-based drinks, and pouring techniques for classic latte art patterns such as heart, tulip, and rosetta. The focus is not just on making drinks, but on understanding café workflow, efficiency, and quality control behind the bar.
Between practice rounds, you’ll learn about modern Vietnamese coffee and how local beans are used in today’s specialty coffee scene. You’ll taste the drinks you make, enjoy them at your own pace, and share the experience with others in a comfortable, informal setting.
