Storm Mountain’s coffee and food pairing events are similar to wine pairing dinners—except you can drive home afterward! We host food pairing events at our location and can also come to you.
Tasting
Tasting coffees side by side helps you understand the differences in flavors that can develop depending on where coffee originates and how it is roasted.
We prefer serving from a French press as it fully immerses the coffee in hot water to draw the deepest and truest flavors from each bean. The absence of a filter allows the natural oils in the coffee to stay in the drink and envelop your tongue with the velvety texture in every sip. Pairing with food highlights how coffee can intensify some flavors and quiet others as well as how some foods can enhance or mute certain coffee notes. Learn how to showcase the flavors you want by choosing the proper coffee for your menu.
Coffee Pairing
Our goal is to show you the importance of coffee to the overall meal. If you are putting your energy and money into an impressive meal for guests, please put great thought into the coffee you choose. As often, coffee is the first taste on the mouth during a meal as well as the last. What is more important, the first impression or the last? The question is mute if you just serve great coffee throughout!
They are a fun way to learn about coffee and the coffee world while tasting different origins and enjoying some incredible local foods along their side. Organize a group of friends or co-workers for this unique and fun experience! We try to keep the numbers small and intimate. Preferably 8-12 people. If you choose to attend at our location you will be enjoying all of this in the midst of our roastery! Sign up now on our calendar or feel free to contact us for a private event.
