If you love coffee, this event is for you!

Learn all about the fascinating world of coffee from coffee enthusiast Rob Fitzgibbon. Enjoy an informal half-hour presentation that will cover coffee as an agricultural commodity, how it’s grown and processed, and how it’s been consumed throughout history. We'll also learn about roasting, aroma, taste, and mouthfeel.

Rob will then lead participants in a fun interactive exercise in which they try three different coffees and document what they smell and taste using stickers and a flavor wheel. The event concludes as participants review their shared perceptions of taste and aroma, have a Q & A session, and finish their coffee.

Registration is required as space is limited.

Rob Fitzgibbon is a UX professional in the Boston area who has been hosting coffee cuppings since 2014. In between software design and coffee events, Rob writes articles on Essex County history. He is always caffeinated.
