Duration1 Day Tour TypeCoffee Experiences Group sizeUp to 100

Overview

Join an immersive 3-hour coffee workshop where you’ll immerse in the Vietnamese coffee history and drinking culture, experience the daily workflow of a professional café barista. Learn espresso brewing, pour-over brewing, and basic latte art in a hands-on, interactive setting guided by local coffee experts in Hanoi.

 

Step into the world of modern Vietnamese specialty coffee in this fully instructor-led, 3-hour hands-on workshop in Hanoi. This is not a traditional coffee class — it’s a barista experience focused on how Vietnamese coffee beans are transformed through both manual brewing and professional espresso techniques in today’s café scene.

The workshop begins with an introduction to pour-over brewing, including the dripper, kettle, grinder, and scale. You’ll practice controlled pouring, adjusting water temperature and grind size to highlight clarity and flavor balance in Vietnamese specialty beans.

Under the guidance of an experienced barista, you’ll practice espresso extraction, milk steaming for milk-based drinks, and pouring techniques for classic latte art patterns such as heart, tulip, and rosetta. The focus is not just on making drinks, but on understanding café workflow, efficiency, and quality control behind the bar. 

Between practice rounds, you’ll learn about modern Vietnamese coffee and how local beans are used in today’s specialty coffee scene. You’ll taste the drinks you make, enjoy them at your own pace, and share the experience with others in a comfortable, informal setting.
