About this FieldTrip

CreativeMornings and coffee go together like peanut butter and jelly. We know you love it, but do you know how to taste it like a professional?

Up your coffee-sipping know-how with this FieldTrip, hosted by the team at Greater Goods Coffee Roasters. They’ll teach us the techniques “Q Graders” (professional coffee cuppers) use to evaluate the aroma and taste of different roasts.

Cupping-style tasting involves loudly slurping from a spoon. You’ll distinguish differences in aroma, body, sweetness, and acidity as you’re guided through tasting 10 different coffees.

We’ll be meeting in the training lab at GG’s East 5th location.

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
