Diego and Ervit were knowledgeable, answered my numerous questions, patiently allowed me to work on my Spanish, and were a pleasure to be with. I enjoyed learning about their mission, what they do, and their “bean to bar” passion. The class was very hands-on and involved a lot of tasting and discussion. I would recommend them to my friends and family. Pro tip : You are asked to meet them in front of the Kun coffee shop. I didn’t pay attention to the exact address and mistakenly showed up at a Kun clothing and gift shop a couple blocks north on the same street.Definitivamente es una experiencia maravillosa.
