Step into the world of modern Vietnamese specialty coffee in this fully instructor-led, 3-hour hands-on workshop in Hanoi. This in-depth workshop introduces you to specialty coffee fundamentals, from coffee bean selection and flavor profiles to café brewing standards used in contemporary coffee shops. You’ll immerse into the Vietnamese coffee history and drinking culture and what makes an excellent cup of coffee. The workshop begins with an introduction to pour-over brewing. You’ll practice controlled pouring, adjusting water temperature and grind size to highlight clarity and flavor balance in Vietnamese specialty beans. Under the guidance of an experienced barista, you’ll practice espresso extraction, milk steaming for milk-based drinks, and pouring techniques for classic latte art patterns such as heart, tulip, and rosetta. Besides, you also learn how to brew the pour-over coffee, or the Phin (Vietnamese traditional method of brewing coffee). At the end of the session, relax, enjoy your own creations, and connect with fellow travelers in a real café environment. A certificate of completion is available as a keepsake of your barista experience.
