As summer arrives, cold thoughts and beverages are what keeps us going for the next few months. Cold coffee offers good alternative for summer time drinking and Coffee Chop want to show how to make that perfect cup of cold coffee. As the 3rd and final part of “The Knowledge Series” secrets to cold brewing will be revealed on Sat. June 8th at The Crepe Bar in Tempe. Phoenix coffee advocate Perry Czopp will show you how to, and share recipes for cold coffee, or “iced coffee” & “toddys” as they’re sometimes called and coffee cocktails made with and without alcohol.
“Cold brewing is a very different way to think of making coffee,” says Czopp. “There’s absolutely no heat involved. Instead you bring out the flavors from the beans by slowly seeping them overnight. The resulting flavor is sweeter and stronger – and perfect over ice.”
In addition to sipping on cold coffee guests will get to taste coffee inspired food from The Crepe Bar as well get a bottle of cold coffee to take home with them.
$5 of every ticket purchased will go to United Food bank and Mesa Hydration Donation campaign water drive.
Cold Brewing will be from 8:30 – 10 am on Saturday, June 8 at Crêpe Bar at 7520 E. Rural Rd. in Tempe. Cost is $45 per person for advanced registration and $52 per person on the day of the event. Pre-registration is available at www.theknowledgeseries.eventbrite.com or at Crêpe Bar.

checking on the roasted beans
Phoenix coffee advocate and Instagram rock star Perry Czopp is ready to spill the beans about roasting in his next coffee gathering at Tempe’s Crêpe Bar. Three Roasts, on Saturday, May 18, is the second session in the Knowledge Series – morning “classes” geared to the layperson interested in learning more about specialty coffee.
Czopp will share his coffee knowledge on the roasting process and the importance it has in the cup you make at home or buy at the café. Guests will get to sample different roasts to learn about tastes and flavors, and participate in roasting experiments. All the while noshing on bites from the award-winning restaurant, Crêpe Bar.
“Roasting coffee is like being a chef. You’re taking an amazing, beautiful ingredient – the green bean – and turning it into something everyone can enjoy,” says Czopp. “And with any food, there are different beans and different methods to get a range of tastes and flavors.” Teaching brewing
The Coffee Chop “Knowledge Series” is a morning edition of Czopp’s popular Latte Art Throwdowns. While the throwdowns are evening events for the Arizona coffee industry, the Knowledge sessions are designed for the layperson interested in learning more about specialty coffee. Each session covers different aspects of coffee – from how to prepare it at home to learning about different roasts and flavors.
“The mission of The Coffee Chop is to put Phoenix on the coffee map. A big part of that is for people to be able to share the greatness of coffee in their own homes. Understanding the qualities you like in a roast will help you select the best beans to enjoy at home.” Czopp explains.
Three Roasts will be from 8:30 – 10 am on Saturday, May 18 at Crêpe Bar at 7520 E. Rural Rd. in Tempe. Cost is $45 per person for advanced registration and $52 per person on the day of the event. Pre-registration is available at www.TheCoffeeChop.com or at Crêpe Bar.

For coffee lovers, making a delicious cup of joe seems to have gone from putting water in your Mr. Coffee machine to setting up a science experiment. But while the tools out there may be varied and strange-looking, they are actually very simple to use at home. On Saturday, April 20, Perry Czopp of The Coffee Chop will share some coffee knowledge on how to use three of today’s alternative brewing methods. The morning sessions at Tempe’s Crêpe Bar will include coffee sampling, bites from the award-winning restaurant, and hands-on learning from experts in the Phoenix coffee industry. V60
Says Czopp, “Tools like the Chemex, V-60 and Aeropress are commonplace in today’s specialty coffee shops. Each is designed to get the best flavors from your beans, but you don’t need to be a certified barista to use them.”
At the Alternative Brewing Methods session, guests will learn about each of these techniques, sample the same coffee brewed in each method, then get to make their own cup themselves – all while noshing on bites from the Crêpe Bar kitchen.
