Free Coffee Cupping

A cupping is how coffee people taste — many coffees side by side, scored the same way, so the cup speaks for itself. It's also how we decide what earns a bag. Come sit at that table with us.

Coffee Cupping Sessions

Wednesday – Thursday

First cupping 11:00 AM · Second cupping 1:00 PM

Each class runs about 45 minutes. Come 15 minutes early — we keep it to 8 people, nice and small.

12 W Palo Alto Ave, Clovis

Free to join — no ticket, no catch. Most folks leave with a bag of whatever stole the show.

This is how we pick what goes in the bag. Come taste with us.

How it works — it's easier than it sounds

We line up a few coffees side by side and pour hot water right over the grounds. You lean in, smell it, then grab a spoon and slurp — loud, messy, fun. That's the whole point. As the cups cool, the flavors change, so the same coffee keeps surprising you. No fancy words, no right answers. Trust your own taste. You'll be shocked what you pick up. The whole thing takes about 45 minutes.

Reserve Your Spot
