Training

As your coffee roasters, we want to see your business succeed!  With buying our coffee comes training for your entire staff free of any extra charges.  We want you and your employees to be passionate and knowledgeable about the product that you are serving. We offer espresso and brewing training, as well as basic coffee information and background.

At Standing Stone we provide a series of Coffee University classes, ranging from The History of Coffee and Coffee Cupping 101 to a more in-depth and hands-on Coffee Cupping 201 and Roasting Demonstrations.  As your roaster, we invite you and your staff to partake in these classes, free of charge, in order to learn more deeply about what we do here at the café and roastery.
