APPROACH
In this hands-on workshop, we will explore how the sensory architecture of a cup of coffee is built. If we think of extraction as the structure of a building, water becomes the interior design — the element that defines how flavours, balance and texture are perceived in the cup.
Through comparative tastings and guided exercises, participants will experience how different water compositions transform the same coffee. Each person will be able to explore and design their own interpretation of the cup, understanding how small decisions in water can deeply influence the final result.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
The architecture of the cup: what makes up a cup of coffee?
Describe the cup (practical)
Water as a canvas (theory)
Architecture in practice: comparative cupping
Design your cup: paired exercise brewing filter coffee with different water compositions
