✦ Level Up 2026 SUPERCLASSES ✦Optional Half-Day Workshops &mdash; Friday, September 18th&nbsp; ✨ NEW THIS YEAR: Friday Half-Day Intensive Deep DivesThe main Level Up weekend is built around breadth. Two days of workshops moving through espresso, latte art, sensory, cupping, brewing, business, hospitality, and more, where you sample what&#39;s on offer and find the corners of our industry you didn&#39;t know you were curious about yet.&nbsp; The Friday Intensives are the opposite. One topic, a half day, a small group, and an instructor who lives in that lane. Designed for attendees who want to leave with a specific sharpened skill set.&nbsp; These are capped at smaller group sizes for close-knit participation, extra hands-on practice and discussion, and held the day before the main Level Up weekend programming begins. Friday Intensives are optional and require separate registration.&nbsp; 〰Choose your track! ☕ Sensory SkillsFor attendees who want to slow down and taste with intention. We&#39;ll work on building a shared sensory vocabulary, calibrating against quality benchmarks, identifying common green coffee defects, and using sensory evaluation as a real working tool on the cupping table and behind the bar. Great for baristas making purchasing or menu recommendations, anyone moving toward green coffee or QC work, and folks who want to bring more structure to how they taste. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1787856623/wysiwyg/liby4tovrndm5pnyx5ow.jpg" style="text-align: center; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style="text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"> 🔧 Coffee Technician SkillsFor attendees who want to know what&#39;s actually happening inside the machine.
