It was our first trip to Cartagena, so we decided that a coffee related excursion was appropriate. There were several options, but we decided on the Coffee Master. It was a fantastic choice. David truly knows his coffee and provides an informative and entertaining presentation. Highly recommended.

David was super knowledgeable about coffee, the roasting process, global bean varieties, coffee history and more. We got to sample multiple coffee varieties and brewing styles. Definitely worth it, especially if you love coffee. Plus, we David is very funny and didn’t rush through the class, and we go to take down Colombian coffee home with us. Would do again!

First we were not accepted at the scheduled time as the host was not even aware of the event. So we had to go two hours later. About the actual time experience, they was not roasting of the beans and none of it was interactive at all. The host just talked for two hours and spoke fast and softly with a thick accent and it was to understand what he was saying. I asked him to speak up a few times and it didn’t change anything. And he never engaged the audience in any way and kept talking the whole time without making sure anyone was following along. And all the coffees prepared as part of this experience tasted pretty bad. So total waste of money and time.

Was interesting and the coffee was outstanding! Just too long (3 hours and 2 would have been plenty long). Also we were jammed in. We had a group of nine, and there was barely room for us, then 2 more joined us. Uncomfortably tight.

Fabulous experience! He so passionate and extremely knowledgeable and funny too. Felt very intimate and special.

David is incredible. Not only was the coffee tasting delicious, it was informative and interactive! My group and I learned so much about the history and traditions of coffee and got a free bag of coffee at the end. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cartagena or who loves coffee!

My husband is not a coffee drinker, but he enjoyed the coffee master's explanation of the types of beans and the ways to prepare the best beverage on earth.

This was a grat experience, we both got to learn so much more about coffee. David was a master at his craft and made it super engaging and fun. We stayed behind a little to talk to him some more and never felt rushed or like we were bothering him. You can tell he loves what he does.

We loved our tour! The coffees were all delicious and we learned a lot! I can't wait to brew my coffee at home! Would recommend!

Amazing!! We had such a great time learning about the history of coffee, seeing different ways of brewing coffee, and of course tasting all the delicious coffee! This was one of our favorite experiences while in Cartagena!

Great experience and we learned a ton about coffee types and coffee making equipment. Will be making coffee differently when we get home!

This was a really cool experience. We learned about the history of coffee while trying various types from light to dark coffee. He has so many different ways of preparing the coffee as well. It was a fun experience and David is really knowledgeable and funny. We would do this again!

Awesome experience if you love coffee. Not only do you get to try about 6-8 different types of coffee but also how to brew the coffee in different ways. Not all coffee brews quick so in the mean time you get a brief history lesson on the drink. Its really cool. The host is awesome and personal. He also knows his chemistry when it comes to coffee. At the end each person gets to bring home a bag of coffee of their choice. From hotel santa clara its about $15,000 COP for a cab ride for 2 each way. The surrounding streets are littered with beautiful art so afterwards we went for a walk and did a little shopping.

Coffee Master experience was wonderful. David combined his engineering background with his interest in history and passion for coffee into a wonderful experience at Coffee Master. We learned a lot, from beans, to wars to the physics of brewing methods all while enjoying various delicious types of coffee. Overall had a wonderful time! Recommended!

David’s knowledge was amazing, he provided a wonderful coffee tasting filled with interesting information. 10/10 would recommend if you’re in Cartagena

This coffee tasting experience was hands down one of the best I have had. David is awesome at what he does. He is knowledgeable, and passionate about coffee and it shows in his presentation of this tour. We sampled many coffee types that were freshly ground for us. David showed us different ways to prepare coffee along with the history of how these processes came to be. He took his time with us even after the tour to answer questions that we had. Please hook with your if you love coffee and history!

This was a great experience learning about different kinds of coffee and various methods used to make it in a unique coffee shop! We also learned about the history of coffee and more. We were able to pick from a variety of pre-packaged coffees at the end, but we did not get to choose the bean, roast and grind it like the description stated. Overall, it was still a great experience and I'd recommend it!

Overall, I thought it was a very good experience. The guide was very knowledgeable about the Colombia's coffee history and beyond. The only thing that didn't align with my expectations is the statement listed in the Overview. We didn't "choose your bean, roast and grind it" ourselves, so the experience didn't exactly align with the overview and picture. Otherwise it was a good tour.

The gentleman giving the "experience" was a terrific person. It was, however, rather hard to understand his English. On our particular tour date some of his assistants had failed to show up so he did the best he could do under the circumstances. The location was a little hard to find--but the others in the class were terrific. We highly recommend this tour if you are looking for something unusual to do while in Cartagena.

Very interesting coffee experience served up by an extremely knowledgeable coffee roaster who is also an engineer and has the widest variety of coffee preparation devices I have ever seen. Worth the price of admission! You learn a lot and taste a lot and leave with complimentary coffee, too!
