Coffee Tasting Workshop – your sensory experience
Coffee is more than a drink – it's a universe of aromas. In this guided tasting at the Coffee Coaching Club Bern, you dive into the world of coffee together with Yalcin Akpinar, our co-founder and flavour expert: from origin through roasting to the fine perception of aromas in the cup.
The tasting is just as suitable for you alone as for a group of up to 18 people – whether as a personal gift, an outing with friends or the kick-off for a team event. You'll work with the high-end machines from our showroom (including La Marzocco, Victoria Arduino, Sanremo, Rocket Espresso).

What awaits you
After a short introduction to origin, cultivation and roasting, it's on to the practical part: in a guided tasting you sharpen your senses for aromas from fruity-floral to nutty-chocolatey and learn how roast level, origin and preparation shape the flavour. To finish, there's room for questions and a personal exchange with Yalcin.
Who it's for
For everyone who loves coffee and wants to sharpen their senses – solo, as a pair or in a group. Looking instead for an explicit team-building format? Then our Team Event Workshop might be a better fit. Would you rather stand at the machine yourself and prepare espresso? Then take a look at our Private Barista Course.
