An evening with Bennetts

Join us for a specialty coffee education night exploring how coffee is sourced, graded and assessed, how defects are identified, and what makes coffee truly “specialty”.

Two groups of unroasted coffee beans on a white surface, with one group on the left and the other on the right.

Discover how coffee is graded, assessed and classified, and what separates everyday coffee from specialty-grade beans.
