Carvetii Big Weekend

Oct 1, 2018

For those of you interested in a behind-the-scenes look at coffee roasting, we’re opening the doors of our Roastery to the public for one Big Weekend.  On the 24th and 25th November 2018 between 10am and 4pm, you’ll be able to drop in for a coffee, take on one of our taste challenges or try your hand at latte art.  At various times during the day we will also allow access to our production space where you can get up close and personal to our brand new 25kg Probat coffee roaster!

If you are a coffee equipment fan, we will have an array of equipment on display and are please to be teaming up with VA Machinery.  They will be bringing along the Victoria Arduino Black Eagle espresso machine, along with the long anticipated Mythos 2 grinder.

For those of you who would like to dig a little deeper into the world of speciality coffee we’ve put together a programme of demonstrations on each day.  These are ticket only events, all of which can be booked on our website here.  We’re restricting the number of people we allow at each demonstration to make sure there is plenty of opportunity to ask questions.  Here is the current list of demonstrations:
