Frequently Asked Questions
How does private class scheduling work?
1) Fill out the form above and share details about the type of class you're interested in and how many people would be joining.
2) Next, I'll reach out to schedule an initial Consultation to further discuss your personalized private session.

4) Choose a date minimum 1 week out to allow for coffee roasting time-frame.
5) Pay upfront. This secures your time slot and I'm able to buy everything needed for the freshest ingredients.

What if I have a home Espresso Machine?
I'm more than happy to teach you how to get the most out of your home espresso machine as well! Simply request this as a brewing method.
What happens during the class?
All I need is access to a couple wall outlets in your kitchen and the sink. I'll also need a stool or chair available to sit as needed (for chronic illness accommodations). Otherwise, I'll handle the rest!
Do you offer Decaf Coffee?
Yes, and high quality decaf coffee does exist! I understand that some people still enjoy coffee but may not be able to have caffeine, or it may be an evening event, so this is a great option as well.
Do you offer any Tea Options?
Not at this time since I specialize in coffee. However, I'm happy to bring high quality teas for those who want to be there, but prefers tea instead. I will not be teaching tea brewing though.
