On the 25th April, our Kitchen Arena showroom transformed into a coffee lover’s paradise. In collaboration with the certified barista trainer, Samantha Wan, we hosted a beginner-friendly Coffee Skills Workshop. Samantha’s passion and expertise set the stage for a day filled with aroma, taste, and art.
The workshop began with the basics - understanding the heart of coffee making - the professional Kitsilano coffee machine. Attendees learned the ropes of operating these commercial machines under Samantha's guidance, demystifying the process of brewing the perfect espresso.
Next, the group dove into the craft of signature espresso drinks. Samantha shared her secrets for balancing flavors, allowing everyone to create their own lattes and cappuccinos. The excitement was palpable as each participant personalized their drinks, a testament to the workshop's hands-on approach.
And then, the cherry on top - latte art. Samantha demonstrated the delicate art of milk frothing and pouring, encouraging everyone to create their own stunning latte designs. The results were impressive, showcasing a range of hearts and tulips.
By the end of the workshop, attendees not only walked away with a newfound understanding of coffee but also with the confidence to explore their own barista skills. Samantha Wan’s collaboration with us Kitchen Arena proved to be a delightful journey into the world of coffee, crafting a memorable experience for all.
