Melbourne has become the coffee capital of the world and we all have our chosen barista and even our favourite roast… but how are we all faring making our own coffee at home? What method is best for your preferred type of brew and budget? How can you get the best extraction/flavour in your kitchen? Join Tommy in this rare Saturday morning class and learn about the various devices for making coffee at home along with some coffee basics, roasting styles and practical tips for your perfect tasting cup of coffee.

Have you had a breakup with tequila?  Perhaps you were one of the lucky ones that skipped the messy teenage and university years of poor quality tequila in Taco Bill fishbowls.  Internationally, craft cocktail bar menus now feature more and more tequila cocktails.  Meanwhile, agave spirits are gaining traction as a new focus area for high quality spirit production to compete with boutique gins and rums.  Come join us on a tasty but classy trip to try some refreshing tequila drinks.

Learn how to make easy, achievable but delicious classic cocktails at home. This class features a selection of curated drinks using a quality gin of your choice. It will also highlight either a homemade jam or your choice of a high quality commercial jam. You’ll have the opportunity to ask advice from a cocktail aficionado on tips for equipping your home with the necessary tools and knowledge to make some great cocktails.
