Public cuppings and brew methods classes are now available.
We love sharing as much coffee knowledge as possible!
Classes can be arranged between 9 am and 12 pm, Monday through Saturday, with at least one week's notice.
Leap's Origins
We are a specialty coffee micro-roaster based in San Diego County, California. Leap was founded in 2016 by Brandy and James Cutbirth, as a "leap of faith" venture born from a shared love of coffee and community.
Essentially, Leap Coffee is all about the basics:
just a really great cup of coffee, prepared with great care, enjoyed by great people.
Our Mission
We believe that every cup of coffee is an experience. We are fascinated by the journey from farm to cup and eagerly share those stories with those who drink our coffee.
Every aspect of our roasting process is completely intentional, from the flavor notes we put on the bags to the brewing ratios we use to make their best qualities shine. And we aim to keep our options approachable for all: nothing added or overcomplicated, to let the coffee shine and excite the palate, whether served in one of our Cafes or brewed at home.
We thrive on intentional conversations, and we seek to create a space that encourages community. Our guests are like our second family, and we are thrilled to share their stories and take part in life's special moments along the way.
Always Fresh, Always Local
Coffee First, Then Leap
This three-day coffee roasting class is ideal for coffee roasters with some experience who desire to broaden their knowledge of the process.
Following the training session, attendees may opt to receive personal, one-on-one help with questions about equipment, products, accessories and opening a new café.
We're proud to introduce a new series of free, accessible coffee educational opportunities at the Lab at Undercurrent Coffee. Several times a month, we'll be opening the doors of our Coffee Education Lab to our community to taste through and learn about the coffees we're serving behind our bar.
This class continues to be the best place to kick off your professional roasting career.
The course will conclude with hands-on practice making a complete drink, allowing participants to apply their newly learned skills in a practical setting.
