Filter coffee workshop in Porto at abcoffee, a three-hour practical session for anyone who wants to genuinely understand what is in their cup and how to make it better. This is a complete and hands-on exploration of filter coffee covering origins, grind size and its effect on flavour, and the specific techniques behind five manual brewing methods: Aeropress, French Press, V60, Chemex and Kalita. Led by the abcoffee team in a specialty coffee space built around precision, consistency and a genuine love for the craft. No prior coffee knowledge needed.

The session moves through the full filter coffee story in a logical and sensory sequence. You begin with coffee origins, understanding how where a bean comes from shapes what ends up in the cup, before moving into grind size and the critical relationship between how coffee is ground and how it tastes. From there the focus shifts to brewing, working through your preferred manual method with hands-on practice and expert guidance, learning how water temperature, contact time, ratio and technique combine to produce a cup that is genuinely excellent rather than simply acceptable. An experience designed to awaken your senses and elevate the way you approach coffee every day.
