Details

Coffee & Convos is a relaxed, open-format gathering where the worlds of coffee and conversation meet. Each session brings together enthusiasts, professionals, and the coffee-curious—baristas, roasters, competitors, and everyday brewers—to share ideas, stories, and experiences over thoughtfully brewed cups. Rather than panels or lectures, it’s guided dialogue: experts sit among guests, not above them, sparking genuine exchange on topics ranging from sourcing ethics to competition prep, from sensory exploration to the culture shaping coffee today.

Every conversation is paired with coffee that sets the mood—perhaps a new single origin from a local roaster or a special competition roast—brewed and served communally. The aim isn’t to impress, but to connect: to taste, listen, and explore together how coffee links craft, community, and creativity.

Theory

The guiding idea behind Coffee & Convos is that knowledge in coffee grows most meaningfully when it’s shared horizontally, not hierarchically. Instead of separating professionals from enthusiasts, the format erases those boundaries—everyone brings a cup, a story, and a perspective. By creating an environment where roasters, baristas, and drinkers engage in open dialogue, the event turns expertise into conversation rather than instruction.

Our theory is that coffee culture advances through conversation as collaboration. Each exchange—whether it’s about flavor, technique, or philosophy—helps circulate insight across different corners of the community. Experts gain fresh perspective from curious newcomers; home brewers glimpse the craft behind professional practice. The process mirrors coffee itself: complex, layered, and enriched through interaction.

At its core, Coffee & Convos celebrates the social intelligence of the coffee world—the idea that progress isn’t only built on competition or prestige, but on curiosity, empathy, and dialogue. It’s an evolving forum where passion becomes collective wisdom, and every shared cup deepens both understanding and connection.
