Methods of Coffee Processing at the Farm
In collaboration with Portland Community College’s Continuing Ed program, The Buckman is offering three, entry-level courses for those who want to take their love for coffee to the next level.
The second in this affordable series, and which is open to the general public, explores how 'processing' at the farm impacts flavor. What makes a coffee fruitier than others? What causes the crema on the top of an espresso shot? We'll explore the different processes coffee undergoes at the farm and how to taste and smell differences through the technique of "cupping."
