"WARNING: This class will destroy your coffee ego in the best possible way Here was my brilliant logic before this class: "If I'm dropping $5+ at coffee shops, surely I can replicate that liquid gold at home, right? RIGHT?!" Well, turns out there's a teensy bit more to it than just hot/cold water, coffee grounds, hope, and the occasional Ouija Board. I walked into this workshop feeling like a coffee connoisseur. At home, I have a milk frother, various syrups, coffee grinder, pour over set, moka pot, aeropress, French press, and my imaginary dilllydally fillfally press (patent pending-jk). I've sampled more roasts than a coffee sommelier having an identity crisis. I was ‘this close’ to showing up to the workshop with a pocket watch, cane, and monocle just to complete my "distinguished coffee gentlewoman" persona. Spoiler alert: What an utter fool I was. I knew absolutely nothing. This workshop was a one sided ass whooping to my caffeine induced superiority complex. Within FIVE MINUTES – not an hour, not half the class, but five actual minutes – the teachers had already shattered my coffee delusions and handed me tips that made me question my entire caffeinated existence. These people were so knowledgeable I briefly wondered if they had coffee running through their veins instead of that dark red stuff. It was like watching Julia Child elegantly whip up coq au vin while you're in the corner burning instant ramen – except the ramen was my coffee technique and it was somehow even more embarrassing. When they brought the math into the mix, I hissed like a startled cat (because apparently consistently excellent coffee brewing involves numbers – who knew?), but everything was explained so clearly that even my caffeine-addled brain could process it. I was taking notes with the intensity of a student cramming for finals, except this time I actually ‘wanted’ to learn. College me is somewhere having an existential crisis about my newfound academic enthusiasm. We explored the celestial bodies of coffee perfection: ground-to-water ratio, timing, temperature, and brewing methods so precise they could make seasoned aficionados weep tears of joy. We even tasted the subtle differences that determine whether the coffee gods bless your brew—or unleash their wrath upon your humble beans. The instructors were so eager to answer questions that I'm pretty sure they would have explained the life story of every individual coffee bean if we'd asked. Their passion wasn't just about brewing – they knew everything from harvest to the sample bag they sent us home with, like coffee anthropologists who'd spent years studying the sacred bean. (Because they did!) Sure, our class was small, but their energy and enthusiasm made it feel like we were attending a sold-out TED talk on caffeination excellence. Plus, we got to take home a bag of coffee beans – because nothing says "class well spent" like immediate homework you can drink. They had just moved to this location, but you'd never know it from how smoothly everything ran. By the end, I felt more confident about my caffeination skills than I do about most life decisions. Bottom line: This class will humble you, educate you, and send you home with both coffee beans and the crushing realization that you've been brewing like a barbarian this whole time. It was like finally finding the instruction manual for something you've been randomly button-mashing for years—suddenly everything clicks and you realize how much potential you've been wasting. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to level up from "person who drinks coffee" to "person who actually knows what they're doing." Your taste buds will thank you, your morning (or afternoon/evening-no judgement here) routine will never be the same, and you'll finally have something impressive to talk about at parties besides the weather."

"Daniel was the best! Anyone and everyone should take a class with him and buy some Flow coffee. One of the coolest experiences our family has ever had. Any entry point expert to beginner is welcome! 10/10 experience thanks Daniel!"

"From the minute, you interact with Daniel, you can see his passion for all things, coffee He has so much knowledge and loves sharing you all about the nuances of the coffee industry and how to make the perfect espresso or pour over at home!! I highly recommend taking his coffee class if you really wanting to have better understanding of the coffee you drink every day!"

"Danny's coffee is the best in Atlanta, and the best I've ever found anywhere. Hands down. Flow is the only coffee I buy since I found him at a pop-up a few years ago. Since then, I've followed him wherever he goes and no other coffee shop I've tried even compares. But it's not just about the coffee. Danny shares his passion for coffee and community so freely that it's contagious. I bring everyone I can convince to whatever pop-up he's currently running. I was already making poor overs at home when I stumbled upon Flow, and I had no idea that coffee could be so different and so interesting. Danny has already taught me so much about coffee that I would have never considered, and I can't wait to attend a workshop and see what I can learn."

"Highly recommend taking a coffee workshop with Daniel. We did the latte art class with him and learned a lot and enjoyed his background and experiences in coffee."
