Accessibility Information
We strive to make our training courses welcoming and accessible to everyone. Please note that our training room is only accessible via stairs, so unfortunately we are unable to accommodate wheelchair users or individuals who have difficulty with stairs.
For other disabilities or special requirements, we will do our best to make appropriate arrangements. We kindly ask that you contact us before booking your course so we can discuss your needs and ensure we can provide the best possible experience for you.
Thank you for your understanding, and we’re happy to answer any questions you may have.
All of our workshops take place at our roastery (L3 7DX). Please note that our workshops are on the first floor, which is only accessible via the stairs. Please bear this in mind when booking your workshop place.
In this immersive session, you’ll embark on a journey through the world of specialty coffee, discovering what sets it apart—from sourcing and processing to the unique flavour profiles that make each cup exceptional. You’ll explore different coffee origins and processing methods, learning how they shape flavour and how to choose the perfect beans to match your taste preferences. Then, put your senses to the test in a guided tasting of six coffees (four caffeinated and two decaf), comparing aromas, flavour profiles, and mouthfeel across origins and roast levels to develop your palate. Next, step behind the scenes on a roastery tour to see where the magic happens—watch our roasting process in action, learn how roast profiles are developed, and understand how we craft consistency and flavour in every batch. To finish, you’ll pack your favourite coffee to take home, seal your own bag, print a custom label, and leave with a truly personal connection to your coffee.
All of our workshops offer the most thorough coffee courses offered in the North West. They are also tailored to the customer so if the classes are more advanced than planned, we can skip and move to more technical coffee components or incorporate other elements of different courses within their workshop. We are the only roastery in Liverpool that offers public workshops in a purpose-built training room with enough equipment for every customer to be hands-on. We offer workshops at the weekend to suit the majority of home consumers' lifestyles and workshop gift cards online. Our workshops are designed to last 3 hours but often run over, which is absolutely fine as everyone is enjoying themselves, asking questions and getting involved with the trainer and the equipment. All of our workshops include a roastery tour to understand the process of coffee roasting and who Crosby is.
