Whether you're a home barista who wants to understand your own machine better, a team looking for a creative workshop, or a café owner who wants to train staff – dive deeper into the world of coffee. Coffee Coaching Club offers hands-on coffee workshops and team events in Bern and Zürich – in German or English.

Our workshops bring together two worlds: flavor-chemistry depth from our own roastery practice (our team brings a trained flavorist and chemistry perspective with over a decade of experience in industrial flavor development) and hospitality-driven warmth (Anke guides the workshops as host and coach with hospitality-industry experience). This combination shapes every session: technically grounded, sensorially experienced, with room for exchange.

The workshop formats

What makes the workshops special

Three qualities define the CCC workshops. First, the flavor-chemistry depth: from our roastery practice and our experience in flavor development comes an unusual perspective on coffee – how aromas form during roasting, which volatile compounds define which beans, how extraction shapes the aroma profile. Second, the host-style atmosphere: Anke takes care of your comfort and creates a connected mood. Third, the roastery practice: We're a roastery ourselves and bring beans from our own production into the workshops – not abstract theory, but concrete profiles you can brew yourself afterward.

Who are the workshops for?

For home baristas who want to take their own machine to the next level. For teams looking for a creative, sensory event. For café owners who want to train staff. For coffee lovers who want to deepen their flavor vocabulary. For beginners and for the more experienced alike – we adapt the content to your level. The choice is yours – no pressure, no upselling.

What goes well with it

After the workshop: keep building out your own setup. Coffee Machines, Grinders, Barista Tools. For bean variety: our Coffee Beans from our own roastery. For filter methods: Filter Equipment. For gifts: Bundles or Gift Cards.

What do I need to prepare?

How do I book a workshop?

Send us a short message with what you're after (format, group, date). We'll get back to you with a proposal.

How is your cupping different from others?

Classic SCA cupping plus flavor-chemistry context – we name what you taste and explain why those aromas developed in that particular bean. Our roastery practice and the team's flavor development experience bring a more analytical perspective on taste. For many participants, this is a new way into coffee.
