Master Your Pour Mentorship Circle

Whether you are just starting to experiment with milk texturing or you have been pulling shots for a while but cannot quite nail that rosetta, this mentorship circle is designed to help you level up your latte art. We are getting together in Warrington to share techniques, troubleshoot common frustrations, and practice our pours in a relaxed, hands-on environment. It is a space for learning through doing, where we can look at what is working and what is not without any pressure. This event is open to anyone interested in coffee craft, regardless of your current skill level. The goal is to learn from each other, share tips on machine handling, and pick up some practical skills that you can take back to your own kitchen or workspace. If you have been looking for a way to refine your pouring technique alongside a few fellow coffee enthusiasts, please join us. If you think you can make it, please RSVP so we have an idea of numbers for the machines.

SEPTEMBER 12, 10 a.m. **TRADITIONAL ACORN PROCESSING** This Session is a complete lesson on the historical value of the ACORN in west coast native societies, along with some nutritional information. You will then go through the entire process of turning the raw acorn into a delicious food. You’ll shell, grind, leach, test, leach some more, and blend with a few other ingredients to make acorn food products. If you didn’t already know this, ACORNS are a Super-Food, not simply squirrel food. They contain all the amino acids! Native Americans of the Americas understood this and regularly processed and consumed acorn products. In fact, acorns have been used for food by many cultures the world over. They are still commonly used in Korean dishes. In the U.S., the use of the acorn is experiencing a revival. We will also prepare a few other wild food dishes, depending on what is in season. There will be minimal walking today, but still bring your field notebook. This can apply to an Ethno-botany certificate. Location sent upon registration.
