Tasting workshop · 3 h · Weekends · Aromas, tastes and cupping · €70 (short Thursday tasting, €20)

In the classroom of the roaster Hola Coffee you learn to taste coffee the way professionals do, across three tables. At the first you train your nose with a box of more than 36 aromas; at the second you tell apart in water the five basic tastes and the types of acidity that appear in a coffee; at the third you do a Brazilian-style tasting or cupping, with the guidelines for scoring and several origins and varieties in the cups. You leave with a sharper sense of smell and a new way of looking at the bag of coffee at home.
Three tables to train your nose and palate
The workshop lasts three hours and costs €70. The published dates are mostly Saturdays from 10:00 to 13:00, from 21 November to 19 December 2026 and others until February 2027; some fall on a Sunday, and the February ones are in the afternoon, from 15:00 to 18:00. No experience is needed: sensory analysis can be trained. If you only want a peek, on Thursdays from 18:00 to 19:00 the team opens its weekly quality-control tasting to the public, with all the coffees on the menu and one or two still to arrive, for €20.
Next to the roastery, near Oporto metro
The sessions are held in the training classroom, in the same building as the roastery and the Roastery café: Avenida de Pedro Díez, 21, in Carabanchel. The nearest station is Oporto, on lines 5 and 6, about five minutes' walk; Urgel, on line 5, is also close. You buy in the online shop by choosing the date. Watch out for the cancellation terms: full refund only up to 21 days before, half up to 48 hours before, and nothing after that.
