Understand coffee chemistry and it's effect on health at a deeper level than any on-demand course can deliver, with a personal trainer guiding you live, in your own kitchen, with your own gear.
Every session follows a proven framework, but is fully tailored to you: your equipment, your coffee, your skill level, and your goals. Before your session, we’ll ask for details about your setup and areas of interest so we can prepare specifically for you. This is what makes the experience genuinely personal, and what sets it apart from any generic online video.

We took a private coffee making class with Sandra, the owner, and it was amazing. Sandra went above and beyond in how she ran the class. She really took time to talk us through the different variables that affect coffee brewing, educated us about the coffee industry, and worked with us as we tried our hands at some new techniques. We have a renewed appreciation for coffee and everything that goes into making it and we'll definitely recommend Sweet Science Coffee to friends and family.
Sandra's courses were what got me so curious about coffee science in the beginning and I ended up writing The Physics of Filter Coffee.
