Brewda Roastmaster Seminar - nice coffee evening I booked the 'Home roaster and sensory analysis' seminar from brewda for 95 euros. From my experience, I can say that the speaker Erik spoke about coffee growing regions, sensory properties, aromas, taste, industrial and factory roasting in a relaxed atmosphere. Of the 4 participants, 3 had received the seminar as a gift, and at the end of the seminar evening (150 minutes), none had expressed any deeper interest in roasting at home. This is perhaps for the better, as little equipment for home roasting was provided that evening. Even when asked after the seminar, there is and was no roasting strategy (focused on the bean or on solving problems). And since none of the coffees to be tried (raw, cupped, etc.) were labeled and there were no printed handouts (coffee facts about the coffees used) for the participants, little remains concrete other than the good entertainment provided by the seminar lecture. Personally, I believe that this seminar hardly provides any concrete, usable information for participants who are committed to home roasting - and this may well be the intention under certain circumstances. A later further development on the path of the home roaster did not seem to be a priority, but a good atmosphere and care from the host and speaker Erik did. Beyond the two roasting sessions carried out by us participants on the Gene Cafe home roaster (device in the 550 euro class) according to instructions, there was no further information on how roasting at home can be optimized in the future in the event of undesirable results. Even after attending the seminar, you are not a roasting master, not even a journeyman roaster. I would only ask you to understand this as an indication that the sentence on the brewda website, YOU ARE THE RÖSTMESTER, is better not to be taken literally. Measured against the price of 95 euros, the 2 1/2 hour seminar was rather short and at the upper end of the price range. The conference room, although historically iconic as is typical of the Speicherstadt, was also a bit uncomfortable and simply furnished. There were plenty of espressos, but no snacks, no further references to books or forums or websites regarding future roasting. According to my participant experiences at another roasting seminar, there is a lot more concrete knowledge transfer involved. But if you are looking for an evening in a nice atmosphere, coffee talk and samples as well as friendly imparting of basic knowledge on the subject of coffee, you will find what you are looking for here.

We were there on Sunday for Advent gossip. It was awesome, we had a lot of fun, laughed a lot and learned so much. Erik did a really great job. Super cozy, best coffee and great pastries:) I now know which preparation is right for me. That was definitely not the last course I booked at Kaffeebrewda.

We booked the "coffee for beginners" seminar with Erik. From beginning to end the seminar was just awesome! Erik is extremely knowledgeable and it is a pure joy listening and learning from him. The seminar is interactive and therefore we had a ton of fun.

I completed a barista course at Kaffebrewda. What can I say: Great organization, super well thought out and I learned a lot about coffee, its cultivation, origin and processing. Erik and his team completely convinced me. Thank you for that.

Very nice seminar (home roaster)! we had quite a lot of fun with Erik. He was eager to explain everything we asked and you could feel the passion he had to this simple bean ;-) I should rather say complex bean. Definitely recommend this to anybody who wants to know more about history of coffee, the ways of production, differences in regions, and overall a nice experience with such a delicate drink.

I had a great barista course on August 13th, 2023, I can recommend it to everyone. Great atmosphere, really professional barista and a nice atmosphere. As a farewell there was an espresso bean pack 🫶🏻

Super great people with a lot of passion for the topic of coffee! My husband and I took part in the coffee seminar a few months ago and were really excited. The coffee is super delicious (at least that's what the husband says). But even as a non-coffee drinker, I had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Today I was there again to buy a birthday present. The two of them even made me a gift wrap and were super helpful. Absolute recommendation!

What an evening! The sensory and home roasting seminar at Kaffeebrewda Erik was unique. Funny, relaxed and full of Erik's endless knowledge about coffee and roasting. Even the correspondence during the booking process was super cordial. And so it went on in the seminar itself. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed. Not only knowledge and delicious self-roasted coffee but also great memories to take home with you. Thanks! 🙏🫶

Real good tasting, Eric is very knowledgeable - highly recommend

On the first Advent we took part in the Advent coffee tasting. That was a great afternoon. We learned a lot of new things and found a favorite coffee. Absolutely recommended! We'd love to come back. The cinnamon stars with the coffee were heavenly.
