Do you have a French press coffee maker but you just aren't sure if you're using it right? Have you heard your friends espouse the virtues of pour over coffee? Or maybe you've heard about siphon coffee, but you weren't sure what is was or what it tasted like? Maybe you don't know what any of these are, but you just love a good cup of coffee. The PCA have organised a Coffee Tasting and Lunch at the Brew Room at the Savera Hotel on Wednesday 29 November. Marc Torno, a native of Barcelona with a passion for coffee, will lead us through proper brewing methods for just about every kind of coffee imaginable. You will get a chance to sample the different brews and see for yourself how you can turn a humble coffee bean into a delightful cup of gourmet coffee.

We would love for you to join us. We are meeting at 8.45 am at the main entrance of the school to head to the Brew Room. The school bus will get us back by early dismissal. The cost is INR 1600 and can be paid to the cashier, please mention Brew Room and PCA. We look forward to sipping the various delights with you!
