    I enjoyed the home roasting course so much, I decided to return the following week for this course - and once again was not disappointed! Mark is an excellent teacher, and this was a great way to taste different coffees side by side. I'd often wondered about the different terms used to describe coffee - and while I'm not sure I could ever be a coffee reviewer/cupper/taster, I certainly have a much better understanding of what it is all about. A very well spend 2 hours for me. Thank you.

    Fantastic class … Mark has a long history in the business, is very knowledgeable about all aspects of coffee and is happy to let the class go in any direction - our agenda was his agenda. Throw in the experience of roasting different batches of the same origin coffee beans from too light to too dark and then tasting the results, and it was definitely a great use of $25 and 2+ hours of my time. Would highly recommend this for anyone interested in learning anything about coffee, but especially roasting of course.

    We had so much fun at this class! It was a hands on experience and we learned a lot about coffee: origins, roasting, tasting, etc. We met some really fun people and it was such a great way to spend our Saturday afternoon. Thank you!

    The class was super informative and helped me gain a greater appreciation for the coffee I drink. We're excited to start roasting coffee ourselves. It also introduced us to a fantastic roaster locally!

    The class was excellent. Practical information for the home roaster including sources for green beans and home roasting equipment. Excellent also for people like me who wanted to know about the roasting process. I would highly recommend this class.

    Excellent experience! Mark is clearly well-informed and experienced. His class was a very thorough explanation (both conceptual and practical) that left me wanting more. I would definitely recommend any of his classes.

    Fantastic class for those interested in coffee roasting and coffee in general. Mark is a master and very willing to share his expertise. A great look behind the scene at Kaladi coffee.

    Mark was amazing. His knowledge and enthusiasm for his craft are simply unparalleled. The class went on way longer than anticipated and nobody wanted to leave! It was amazing to learn about all the steps involved at every level of the process. And, to top it off, Trieste is simply the best espresso blend I've ever tasted, and I've lived all over the world. And to boot, Mark is hugely entertaining! Hats off- job well done!

    I personally did not enjoy this class. It was held in a small dirty space with no windows or chairs. The person who instructed us was knowledgable and even though I enjoyed listening to him I could not stand the room we were in so I left after one hour

    The class was great, but don't forget to ask for your pound of coffee and be prepared to move your car every hour.
