Coffee Events - Yorkshire/North

Postby HB18 » Wed Dec 22, 2010 3:44 pm

Hi everyone,

I'd like to extend an invitation to come on down to a series of coffee events to be held at the Limini Coffee training centre in Doncaster.

We're really keen to try and foster a barista community feel in the north of the country – many of us know each other and are able to meet for the odd coffee every so often, but there are also people who are new to the industry, or just discovering speciality coffee and would like to get involved in a wider group – learning, experimenting and having loads of fun doing it!

Therefore 'Limini Events' has been created to provide a time and a place for people to meet and really grow the coffee community in the north. Held at our training centre we have plenty of kit and lots of room to accommodate a good crowd – although we're limiting it to fifteen so everyone can get really involved.

We've decided to have a theme for each evening – but discussion, debate and experiments are always totally open! These events will be relaxed and informal and would be great way to introduce staff or friends into this weird and wonderful world of speciality coffee!

The first event on January 25th is themed as 'Art Attack' and will include introductory milk training for those new to coffee, and a chance to work on more advanced techniques for others, finishing with a 'throw-down' with a prize for best rookie pour (less than 6 months making coffee - ish) and best overall pour. Tickets are £10 – great for enthusiastic staff or those wanting to get better milk on their home set-up.

Second event on February 22nd is a cupping evening – the idea being to cup our way round the world, identifying the effects of region to some extent, but also processing, variatals and how the cupped coffees translate into brewed coffee. Again £10 covers everything – terrific value for some of the coffees we're going to be tasting!

More events planned for later in the year – we have plenty of things we think will be good, but suggestions are always welcome if you have a great idea.

Go to http://www.liminicoffee.co.uk/events for more information, and book your ticket online.

Just an update about the Limini events.

- Both of the planned events (latte art & cupping) are filling nicely so it would be good to get tickets booked sooner rather than later. We have baristas & coffee fans of many different experience levels coming, and will be delighted to host some TMC members at the training centre. Book soon if you are able to make it to either - before it's too late!
