Dancing Mule Coffee is hosting an Espresso Class on Saturday, June 18 from 1 to 2 pm. We will have two home espresso machines available and present an introduction to espresso preparation. This class will be limited to five people so sign up early at Dancing Mule.
Dancing Mule Coffee will be hosting a free Coffee Cupping on Saturday, June 4 at 1:30 pm. Cupping is the formalized process for tasting and evaluating coffee. We will observe the general rules for cupping; however, as with many other things at Dancing Mule, formality is relative. The object will be to learn about tasting coffee, begin to describe the coffee, and learn how different growing areas, processing methods, and roast levels affect the taste. We will taste four different coffees and have plenty of time for questions about tasting and brewing coffee.

It’s your chance to ask the burning coffee question that’s been simmering in the back of your mind in a comfortable environment.

Drop by Dancing Mule Coffee Sunday, February 13 at 5 pm and cheer your favorite Dancing Mule barista in our Dancing Mule-only Latte Art Competition. As a spectator, you might even score a free 12 oz. latte! We will be making 15 to 20 lattes in our quest to crown the Dancing Mule Latte Art Champion, and someone should drink them. In addition to a free latte, you can geek out on coffee preparation with us and socialize with like-minded caffeinated individuals.
What Is Latte Art?
If you are a regular Dancing Mule customer, then you’ve probably noticed the designs we pour in our lattes. Latte art is a fun way to demonstrate the proper steaming and texturing of the milk. When the milk is steamed correctly (resulting in tiny foam bubbles), it brings out the natural sweetness of the milk and allows the barista to raise the espresso crema to the top and make designs with the milk. The designs are cool; however, they are merely an indicator of properly prepared milk. It takes practice, training, a steady hand, and luck to be able to pour latte art when your peers and others are watching and judging your performance. Please join us and help add to the general hubbub and competition atmosphere. After all “competition is the whetstone of talent.”
