House Brew Tasting Experience
From R450 per person
A guided tasting through three preparation methods: espresso, milk based and filter. One coffee, three very different cups, all in one sitting.
Ramkat
Coffee, Consciously.
Specialty Coffee · Pretoria, South Africa
With considered attention to the quality, sourcing, and craftsmanship of coffee.
Ramkat Coffee Co. started as a conversation between two mechanical engineering students and a handful of seriously good baristas. The more we talked, the clearer it became: coffee could be so much more.
We believe great coffee should be understood as well as enjoyed. Everything we do, from sourcing to roasting to the tasting room, comes back to the principles below.
"Roasting is the easy part. The real work is telling the story of every bean, from the hands that picked it to the cup in yours."

We start with a short talk on where specialty coffee comes from, then move through the three brews one at a time.
