About this event
Coffee tastes different when you understand the path it took to reach the cup. nunc. cupping - farm to cup experience with Algrano is an in-person gathering in Berlin for people who want to explore coffee with more depth: not just how it tastes, but how sourcing, trading, and relationships shape every sip. If you care about coffee as a product, a craft, or a community, this is a chance to learn in a practical, social setting. About the Event This event centers on a cupping experience framed by the idea of farm to cup. Rather than treating coffee as a finished product that simply appears on a bar or a shelf, the evening creates space to look at the full chain behind it: origin, movement, evaluation, and the decisions that influence quality and value along the way. With Algrano as part of the experience, the event points toward a more informed conversation about how coffee travels from producers to roasters and ultimately to drinkers. That makes this more than a casual tasting. It is a meetup designed for people who want to connect sensory experience with real-world context. You can expect a format that balances guided tasting, conversation, and community. Whether you already know your way around a cupping table or you are simply curious about how professionals assess coffee, the structure gives you a way in. The goal is not to impress people with jargon; it is to make the journey from farm to cup easier to understand, discuss, and taste for yourself. Because this is also a community and networking event, the room matters as much as the cups on the table. It is built for exchange: asking questions, comparing impressions, hearing how others think about sourcing and quality, and meeting people who care about coffee from different angles. What to Expect The core of the event is the cupping itself. You will likely move through coffees in a side-by-side tasting format that encourages attention to aroma, flavor, body, acidity, and finish. This kind of setup is especially useful because it lets you compare coffees directly rather than judging them in isolation. Alongside the tasting, expect discussion around the farm to cup theme. That may include how coffees are selected, how transparency and access influence sourcing, and why the route from producer to buyer matters for both quality and sustainability. Even if you do not work in coffee, these ideas become much clearer when paired with what is actually in the cup. The evening will also function as a meetup, so there is a strong social component. You can expect: Guided cupping with space to form your own tasting notes Context around sourcing and coffee movement, connected to the farm-to-cup concept Open discussion with other attendees about flavor, process, and perspective Networking and informal conversation before, during, or after the tasting This is the kind of event where the value builds as the room gets talking. One person may come from roasting, another from hospitality, another from pure curiosity. Those different points of view tend to make tastings sharper, more grounded, and more useful. Why Attend If you have ever enjoyed a great cup of coffee and wanted to understand what made it great, this event gives you a concrete place to start. Cupping helps you taste with more intention, while the farm-to-cup framing helps you connect flavor to decisions made long before brewing begins. There is also real value in learning through comparison. Tasting several coffees together can change how you notice sweetness, structure, clarity, or balance. Even a single session can give you a more confident vocabulary for describing what you like and why. Beyond the sensory side, the event offers a better grasp of the systems behind coffee. That matters if you work in the industry, but it is equally relevant if you are a thoughtful consumer who wants more than surface-level storytelling. Understanding the chain from producer to cup can make you more discerning, more curious, and more engaged in the conversations shaping specialty coffee. You should also come for the people. Berlin has a strong culture of creative, international exchange, and this event fits naturally into that environment. It is a chance to meet others who care about coffee seriously without taking themselves too seriously.
