From Bean to Cup, Shaker to Glass: Workshops at Kaldi & Kapra

Kaldi & Kapra has never just been about serving a great cup of coffee or a well-made cocktail, it is about understanding the craft behind both. That is the idea behind the café's ongoing lineup of hands-on workshops, open to anyone curious enough to want to learn.

Bean-to-Cup: Coffee, Explained

On the coffee side, Kaldi & Kapra runs a series of bean-to-cup workshops covering the full journey of a cup of coffee. Coffee cupping sessions train guests to actually taste the differences between origins and roasts. Roasting workshops break down how flavor develops before a bean ever reaches a grinder. And the latte art classes, a favorite among visitors, are led by professional bilingual baristas who turn milk and espresso into an actual craft you can watch happen in front of you.

These sessions do more than teach a skill. They connect guests to the Guatemalan gastronomy and coffee culture that Kaldi & Kapra was built around in the first place, turning a coffee order into a small education about where it came from.

Art & Culture, Beyond the Cup

Alongside the coffee-specific programming, Kaldi & Kapra also hosts special monthly art and cultural workshops, a reminder that this has always been meant to feel like more than a café. It is a space designed for guests to engage with the city's creative side, not just its culinary one.

A New Kind of Workshop, After Dark

With the opening of the Mixology House, that same spirit of hands-on learning is finding its way into the evening lineup too. Guests have already been raving about time spent at the bar with Steve, whose knowledge and personality behind the counter have made him one of the most talked-about mixologists in Guatemala, the same bean-to-cup curiosity that defines the coffee side, now applied to the craft of a well-made cocktail.

Come Learn Something New

Whether it is your first latte art attempt or your first proper cocktail conversation with Steve, Kaldi & Kapra's workshops are built for anyone who wants to go a little deeper than just ordering off the menu. Keep an eye on upcoming sessions, and come find out what is brewing, and what is being shaken, at 2a Calle Poniente No. 2.
