Barista Workshop for Two
For a date that's both educational and fun, why not join a barista workshop? Not only will you learn a new skill, but you'll also get to bond over your shared love of coffee. Perhaps you'll even develop a new morning routine where you take turns making delicious coffee at home.
- Imagine, the intoxicating smell of coffee fills the room as you and your partner are given your very own aprons and guided to your stations. Youโre each introduced to your personal coffee machine and given a brief schooling on the different types of beans. The expert barista teaches you about the steps of making a perfect cup of coffee. You and your partner try your hand at grinding, tamping, and pouring the perfect espresso shot. As your fingers clasp the warm cup, you laugh as you taste each other's brews, proud of the unique flavours you each created.
- After creating the beautiful heart shapes in the foam of a latte and feeling the sweet steam litter your cheeks, you and your partner sit down with your creations. The warm atmosphere along with the soft murmuring of the coffee pot create a perfect ambience for deep conversation.
- The date doesn't end here - take home a bag of your favourite beans. A small token of the time spent together where morning coffee will have new, lovely memories attached.
Preparation steps:
- Identify a local coffee shop in Kyiv that offers barista workshops. Make a booking for two for a weekend or evening workshop. It would be wise to check whether any pre-preparation is required.
- Dress in comfortable clothing but avoid wearing overly loose clothing to avoid any potential accidents when handling the coffee machine. Be prepared for the possibility of getting a bit of coffee on your clothing.
- Keep the rest of the day relatively open so that you can check out a nice restaurant or cozy spot afterwards to reminisce over the day's worth of new knowledge and fun.
Some tips:
- Keep an open interest in the process and ask questions. Not only will you learn something new but showing curiosity is an attractive trait. Also, it's the perfect atmosphere to delve a bit more into each other's tastes, like how you prefer your coffee, or if there's a particular dessert that you love to indulge in with your cup of joe.
- Not strictly necessary, but it might be a nice touch to take a few candid photos of each other during the workshop - caught in the moment, laughing, concentrating, having fun. These spontaneous little snapshots can be a lovely shared memory tied to the date.
- Lastly, have fun! Nothing spices up a date like laughter. So let loose, laugh at your mistakes, and have a great time learning something new.
