Coffee Flock

Current status: fueled by caffeine and good lighting ☕️

My daily place of return🕊️ Caught in a moment of calm today with The Nest blend. If you love a smooth espresso that feels like home, this one hits the spot with those cozy notes of figs and walnuts.

CA Sensory Skills Program — En Español
Mayo 28 | 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Trabajar en café significa trabajar constantemente con la percepción humana.
Cada día hablamos de dulzor, acidez, balance, aroma, textura y sabor… pero pocas veces nos detenemos a entender qué está ocurriendo realmente dentro de nuestro cuerpo y cerebro cuando percibimos una taza.

El análisis sensorial no es solamente una herramienta para evaluar café.
Es una forma de entender cómo los seres humanos interpretamos el mundo a través de nuestros sentidos.

En esta clase exploraremos la importancia de la ciencia sensorial aplicada al café

Porque catar no es solo “probar café”.

Es aprender a interpretar información sensorial.

Esta formación está diseñada para baristas, tostadores, equipos de trabajo, dueños de coffee shops y cualquier persona que quiera profundizar en el café desde una perspectiva más científica y humana.

What a weekend! The coffee flock® team is still buzzing from our incredible collaboration with at .

Sharing the bar with their team and their iconic machines was an absolute blast. For this showcase, we brought something truly special: our Nicaragua Finca Libre.

The Bean: Kenya Cultivar (SL-28)
The Process: Carbonic Maceration
The Roast: Precision Light Roast

To honor the complexity of this coffee, we didn’t just pull a standard shot: we crafted a signature Slayer Flow Profile.
We used a 19.5g dose to hunt for that perfect balance of tropical acidity and syrupy body.

The Pre-Brew: We started with a low-flow saturation, allowing the water to gently soak the puck. This lets us use an ultra-fine grind that unlocks deep sweetness without the bitterness. The Peak: We moved to full 9-bar pressure to build the “heart” of the espresso.
The Taper (The Secret Sauce): About 10 seconds before the finish (around the 28g mark), we switched the paddle back to Pre-Brew flow.

Why go back to Pre-Brew at the end? As the coffee puck extracts, it loses its structural integrity. By dropping the flow for those final seconds, we prevented “channeling” and over-extraction. This allowed us to stretch the total yield to 33.1g, capturing the heavy, viscous mouthfeel of the Carbonic Maceration process while keeping the finish incredibly clean and balanced, a shot that tasted like boozy cherries and tropical silk.

The Refresher: We prepared a concentrated extraction of a washed Yirgacheffe cascara and topped it with chilled S.Pellegrino sparkling water: a stunningly sweet tamarind profile that perfectly cleansed the palate after the intensity of the espresso.

The Sweet Finish: We rounded everything out with a classic Almond Roca chocolate from Seattle. The buttery toffee and almond crunch tied the whole tropical and fruity experience together. It was more than just a coffee, it was a conversation.

Huge thanks to the Slayer team for the partnership and to everyone who joined the flock in San Diego!

Grateful to ❤️❤️

San Diego, you were amazing!

Liking coffee is not enough.
Most people start with a feeling:
• A good café experience.
• An idea of what they want to create

But a coffee business is not just a space.
It’s operations. It’s structure. It’s margins. It’s repetition.

A café is not a roastery.
A roastery is not a sourcing business.

And none of them behave the same. I’ve seen many projects built around how they want to feel, but not around how they actually need to function.

And that’s where things start to break.
Not every coffee business should exist.
Not because people shouldn’t try, but because many don’t fully understand what they’re building.
This is something I think about a lot.

Before quality, before sourcing, before anything else: Do you understand the nature of the business you’re entering?

☘️ Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

May your day be filled with golden moments, lucky brews, and plenty of coffee to keep your flock soaring.

Celebrate the luck of the Irish: sip, smile, and share a cup with someone special!

#FlockInMotion we are in the road 🚗✈️ providing support to our clients. The first stop was @tacosdelcartel in Metairie, Nola (Girod) and Baton Rouge It’s amazing that this company has incredible food, the best cocktails, really fine alcohol and ….wonderful coffee specially curated for them by us! And this is not something most restaurants do. We know that. Funny how in hospitality, we put so much effort into every detail, from the welcome to the décor, the food, the wine, yet the experience so often ends with… a cheap coffee. The last sip should be the moment that completes the experience, not one that breaks it. Great coffee isn’t just an add-on; it’s the final note that leaves guests remembering quality, care, and consistency. For an industry built on care and detail, why let the experience fade at the finish line? This is something @tacosdelcartel owners deeply care: The final impression matters. They end the experience with exceptional coffee, not average. And we are happy they chose us as they coffee partners! Please visit them and don’t forget to order your coffee if you are having breakfast, lunch, brunch, diner or simple enjoying some drinks after a long day! (Highly recommended: the carajillo and espresso martini) #FlockInMotion #SpecialtyCoffee #TacosDelCartel #Nola #BatonRouge #Loussiana #Roasters

The Day has finally arrived. A new chapter in our journey!

Born from the union of Coffea School and
Miami.Coffee under a single name and vision. For years, we worked under different brands—teaching, roasting, and building community—but we realized that the real strength of our work wasn’t in separate identities. It was in bringing everything together, into one clear purpose. Coffee Flock is a name that embodies who we are and who we serve.

A flock moves together, not because every bird is the same, but because they share a path, a direction, and a purpose. In the same way, our community is made up of diverse people—students, roasters, baristas, and coffee lovers—who may come from different backgrounds, but come together through coffee.

What We Do
• Specialty Coffee Education (SCA courses, CQI Classes, Tea Courses, cuppings, workshops)
• Coffee Roasting & Private Label Services
• Specialty Teas & Bean-to-Bar Chocolates
• Professional & Home Coffee Equipment
We’re proud to welcome every person who walks through our doors or finds us online. Here, you’re not just learning about coffee—you’re becoming part of the flock.

At Coffee Flock, we don’t just tell stories. 𝗪𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺—𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿!
