"I’ve been really impressed by Hacea. Have bought green coffee beans from them on several occasions and they’re always excellent, shipped quickly and packaged well. I also just completed their Roast Approach Experience Tasting Kit and it exceeded my expectations. The coffee was really thoughtfully chosen and roasted. The information, roasting curves, etc were great and more professionally executed than expected and I enjoyed watching the online discussion session. I was impressed how they configured the course and material to benefit coffee roasters of widely varying experience and equipment. I’d definitely do it again and hope they continue these activities."

"I’ve just completed the first class over the weekend, and I’m glad I did. The class went beyond the basic knowledge that I had acquired before entering it which was exactly what I hoped for. The lecture confirmed that knowledge, then the hands-on cupping, brewing and roasting elevated that knowledge to the sensory experience that is much needed to help me understand and appreciate not only the value of being able to enjoy my cup of coffee on a different level from now on, but also the hard work and the struggles this fascinating industry has endured and continue to face. Reading and watching videos about coffee is one thing, it’s classes like this that put everything into perspective. Jared and Luke delivered this point perfectly. They’re knowledgeable, and they’re eager to share that knowledge. Very open to questions and I had so much fun talking to them. I did get the feel of a passionate family business which I appreciate and is more than happy to support. They did get nerdy, just a touch, into the math and the graphing for brewing and roasting. My head spun a bit but it was so much fun! The second class will be worth taking for someone who is serious about coffee and is ready to get even more nerdy."

"So so worthwhile taking these classes if you're wanting get a bit more serious, yet also wanting enjoy speciality coffee more intentionally. We took the comprehensive class which included tasting, roasting and brewing. We learned so much from each class but also was not overwhelmed, as Jared our certified Q grader instructor (and founder of hacea) presented the content in a very approachable but not dumbed down way. We fully enjoyed and appreciated the classes, but also through them we now appreciate coffee even more than before."

"I took the coffee 101 classes and had a blast. So much good info for beginners and people who are already deep into their coffee journey. The structure of the classes give you a unique and full perspective on the how and why your coffee tastes the way it does. I left felling like I had a much richer understanding of specialty coffee, and now I'm even more stoked to try new beans, brew methods, and home roasting. I will definitely be going back for any other classes these guys put on."

"I took a 3 course coffee education day at Hacea and it was very informative. The class size was small and everyone had great questions which were followed up by educated and experienced answers. Jared is very knowledgeable and does a great job sharing what he knows. The roasted coffee they gave to us at the end of the day to take home from the tasting class was very good and they included two 500g bags of green bean coffee for roasting at home as part of the roasting class which turned out amazing. Looking forward to cultivating a long lasting relationship with Hacea and my roasting business."
