Italian Coffee Tasting Experience in Turin

1 hour 10 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

This unique coffee experience is designed for you to discover the local coffee culture and start making and drinking coffee the way Italians do.

Guided by a coffee expert, you'll discover the world of coffee aromas and taste coffee from small independent roasters rather than big brands. You'll explore the differences between varieties and roasting levels, and break the crust on your own cupping bowl the way buyers do at origin. You'll find out why your coffee at home never tastes like it does here and how to fix it.

But also, you'll unravel some secret unwritten rules that will help you walk into any Italian bar and order like you belong there!

All in a small, intimate room where you'll feel like a local rather than a number on a tour. A truly must-do experience in town.

What to expect

Turin is a coffee city. The espresso machine was first patented here in 1884, the moka was invented just north of us in Piedmont, and two of Italy's biggest coffee brands were born in this city. Coffee here, just like wine, has deep roots in local culture and everyday life.

Dive into it with a coffee expert from Cultura Liquida studio.

You'll play an aroma game and learn to recognise the aromas hidden in a cup. You'll taste 4 coffees made with 3 different preparation methods, including 2 single origins from local artisanal roasters and you'll break the crust on your own cupping bowl, exactly the way professional buyers taste coffee at origin.

Then the secrets: how to brew a perfect cup at home, how to choose your coffee, and how to order it with confidence at an Italian bar. Coffee culture here is very different.

Every participant leaves with a coffee recipe guide, so you can brew a perfect cup once you're back home too.

75 minutes, in the centre of Turin.

What makes this different: a real coffee expert. 4 coffees from independent local roasters, not one brand. And a small, intimate room where you'll feel like a local rather than a number on a tour.
