Specialty coffee workshop at Zab Café

Specialty Coffee Instructor

Please noteOur workshops are given in French. Fluency in French is required for this position.

At Zab Café, we believe every cup tells a story. Behind a good coffee are passionate producers, roasting choices, brewing techniques and a host of details that make all the difference.

We are looking for a coffee instructor who wants to share that passion with our community.

If you enjoy talking about coffee as much as brewing it, if you take pleasure in watching someone pull off their first beautiful latte or finally understand why their espresso tastes better today than it did yesterday, we would love to meet you.

What you'll do

You'll lead our workshops open to the general public, mainly on weekends. You'll guide coffee lovers of all levels in their discovery of specialty coffee, in a welcoming, accessible and unpretentious atmosphere.

Our workshops cover, among other things:

  • Coffee origins and the different terroirs.
  • Processing methods.
  • The influence of altitude on the profile in the cup.
  • The basics of roasting.
  • Dialling in an espresso.
  • Basic latte art techniques.

You'll be responsible for preparing your workshop, welcoming participants, leading the session and putting the space back in order at the end.

The profile we're looking for

You don't need to have seen and done it all, but you should have a solid base of knowledge in specialty coffee and, above all, want to pass it on.

You are someone who:

  • Has a good knowledge of specialty coffee.
  • Is comfortable speaking in front of a group.
  • Enjoys teaching and making sometimes technical subjects simple and accessible.
  • Is organized, autonomous and reliable.
  • Enjoys creating memorable experiences as much as brewing an excellent coffee.

Experience in teaching or in service is an asset, but what matters most to us is your passion for coffee and your desire to share it.

Schedule

Workshops take place mainly on Saturdays and Sundays.

  • Part-time – seasonal
  • Flexible schedule.
  • Between 4 and 12 hours per week.
  • Possibility of leading up to 3 workshops per weekend.

Compensation

Compensation is $170 per workshop.

Each workshop lasts about 2 h 30, but the package covers a total of roughly 4 hours of work, including preparation, setup, tidying up and cleaning.

Why join Zab Café?

At Zab Café, we want to make specialty coffee welcoming, accessible and inspiring. We believe the best workshops are the ones where participants leave with new knowledge, but also with even more enthusiasm for coffee.

If this mission speaks to you and you'd like to share your passion with our community, we would love to meet you.
