The Morrill Memorial Library is excited to host coffee enthusiast Rob Fitzgibbon for "Coffee Cupping," an educational workshop and coffee tasting, on Saturday, December 13 starting at 10:00am in the Simoni Room.
If you love coffee, this event is for you! Learn all about the fascinating world of coffee from coffee enthusiast, Rob Fitzgibbon. Enjoy an informal half-hour presentation, covering coffee as an agricultural commodity, how it's grown and processed, how it's been consumed throughout history, and related processes and qualities such as roasting, aroma, taste, and mouthfeel.
Rob will then lead participants in a fun interactive exercise in which they try three different coffees and document what they smell and taste, using stickers and a flavor wheel. The event concludes as participants review their shared perceptions of taste and aroma, engage in Q&A, and finish the coffee.
About the presenter: Rob Fitzgibbon is a UX professional in the Boston area who has been hosting coffee cuppings since 2014. In between software design and coffee events, Rob writes articles on Essex County history. He is always caffeinated.
