Coffee 101 Classes

[RoastMonkey]

I'm going to lead several coffee lecture and tasting sessions at LivingSocial's 918 F St facility this month. The intent of the lecture is to give folks a comprehensive overview that will make them more informed consumers. It will cover everything from farming to brewing coffee and will include a guided tasting to introduce people to some of the concepts professionals use to distinguish different coffees.

If you are interested in the subject, but won't be able to make it out for the classes, I also have a lot of information and tips on my blog here: http://cuppajoel.wordpress.com

I really want to do another coffee classes, this time focused more on better brewing at home. The last one I did, with Living Social, went fairly well, but LS is laser targeted on a very specific demographic and I was hoping to hit a wider mark with the next one. Does anyone know of a similar service that hosts cooking classes I could approach? I'd like to do it in a demo kitchen to make it as practical as possible.

I don't know what the logistics are for hosting a class at these places, but I have taken cooking classes (both hands on and observing only) from Sur La Table in Pentagon Row, Culinaerie in DC, and L'Academie de Cuisine in Bethesda/Gaithersburg.
