Counter Intelligence Course Catalogue

 
Counter Intelligence is the Professional Coffee Education Program from Counter Culture Coffee. As part of our mission to create cutting edge coffee people from seed to cup, we offer a variety of labs, classes, and seminars taught by our team of coffee specialists. Some advanced classes have prerequisites; see lab details for more information.

To register, email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or contact us by phone at (919) 361-5282 or toll-free (888) 238-5282. Advanced Registration is required. Because of hands-on exercises and limited availability, classes fill up quickly; space is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Our cutting-edge coffee education program is the best in the business, and we are proud to offer our exclusive wholesale customers free registration for all our labs and classes. Non-exclusive wholesale customers and retail customers may register for classes for $150 each ($75 for Milk Chemistry and each Brewing Science lab).

If you are registered for a lab and cannot attend, please be considerate of your fellow coffee lovers and notify us as soon as possible so that your seat may be filled by another participant.

Our weekly cuppings, held at all of our Regional Training Centers, remain free and open to the public, and we will continue to have other open-to-the-public events, including meet-the-producer open houses, special tasting sessions, Thursday Night Throwdowns, and more, in all of our regional training centers.
