Step into the world of modern Vietnamese specialty coffee in this fully instructor-led, 3-hour hands-on workshop in Hanoi. This in-depth workshop introduces you to specialty coffee fundamentals, from coffee bean selection and flavor profiles to café brewing standards used in contemporary coffee shops. You’ll immerse into the Vietnamese coffee history and drinking culture and what makes an excellent cup of coffee. The workshop begins with an introduction to pour-over brewing. 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. Besides, you also learn how to brew the pour-over coffee, or the Phin (Vietnamese traditional method of brewing coffee). At the end of the session, relax, enjoy your own creations, and connect with fellow travelers in a real café environment. A certificate of completion is available as a keepsake of your barista experience.

This was so much more than just an Espresso and Latte Art workshop. I came in expecting to learn about espresso, but ended up discovering so much fascinating knowledge about Vietnamese traditional coffee, coffee beans, roasting, flavor profiles, extraction, and the journey from bean to cup. Our host was incredibly friendly, kind, generous, and knowledgeable. He explained everything in such an engaging and easy-to-understand way, and was always happy to answer questions and share interesting insights. The class was genuinely fun, interactive, and full of hands-on experiences — from learning about coffee and tasting different flavors to making espresso and practicing latte art. What made the experience even more special was the atmosphere at Say Reserve Roastery. The beautiful space, the passion for coffee, and the attention to detail made the whole workshop feel like a memorable journey into the world of Vietnamese coffee. I learned so much, had a lot of fun, and left with a completely new appreciation for coffee. Highly recommended for anyone who loves coffee or simply wants to experience something unique and authentic in Hanoi! ☕️❤️ 5 stars without hesitation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
