Recent reviews of Coffee Tasting

  • 5/5 from Megan Driscoll, attended Jul 2026: Superb! Highly recommend this workshop.
  • 5/5 from Keith Lyons, attended Mar 2025: This was an amazing experience. Mehmet is so passionate and knowledgeable, but he is humble and excited to share and hear from others. He guided us through each coffee from farm to cup, having us explore different regions, varieties, processing types, and brew types. I already booked another one in two weeks and I will be signing up for every class he offers. I bought a bag on the way out, I will continue to purchase from here.
  • 5/5 from Kyle Martinez, attended Feb 2025: If you're on the fence, just do it. This was a great experience and fantastic present for Christmas. We got to meet a handful of other coffee lovers in an intimate setting. Mehmet was personable and knowlegable and really cares about how you learn about coffee - this was a very accessible tasting. I'm definitely recommening this to other people in my life and I know they will love it. Very satisfied with the experience!
  • 5/5 from Terri Mikulus, attended Aug 2024: This was an unbelievably amazing experience! Memet was incredibly knowledgeable and charismatic and personable! He accommodated our group with a last minute add on and just made the whole experience probably the most memorable highlight of my best friend’s bachelor party. Plus, the coffee he prepared for us was the best I’ve ever tasted. Hands down. Thank you so much!! 11/10
  • 5/5 from Tania Jimenez, attended Apr 2024: This was a very fun and engaging experience. The host, Mehmet, was very knowledgeable, passionate, and made every one everyone feel welcome. It was clear he enjoyed coffee and sharing his knowledge and never made every question feel welcomed.
  • 5/5 from Mary Constantino, attended Feb 2024: My co-workers and I took this class for fun. We wanted to learn more about coffee. Memet, the instructor very friendly and welcoming. He had a wealth of knowledge for coffee. Taught us about the different regions where coffee originated and migrated, how coffee is made. The class was very interactive. We sampled various types of coffee -appreciating flavors that are brought out from each. Overall we appreciated the intense knowledge and information that was shared with us. We loved learning how to taste “coffee” itself without any creamers & sweeteners. Highly recommend this class to coffee drinkers/coffee lovers.
  • 5/5 from Steven Huebscher Quintana, attended Jan 2024: The coffee tasting class completely exceeded our expectations I never knew that coffee could be so intricate. Mehmet is extremely knowledgable, walking you through what coffee is, from the farmer's, to the roaster's, and finally the barista's craft. Mehmet is very kind and energetic and will meet you where you are at, whether you a single cup a day drinker, a coffee geek, or you don't even drink coffee (that happened in our class). He dives deep into any question you may have. The lab is clean, simple, and very inviting. It honestly kind of reminded me of some coffee places that my wife and I went to in London. You also get to have an with a few other people so you are not lost in a crowd, but have others to chat with and bounce off of. I would highly recommend this class to anyone
  • 5/5 from Brandon Linton, attended Dec 2023: This experience at Memli was amazing - 10/10. The space was clean, light, trendy, and smelled amazing. The coffee was excellent, and Mehmet was a super star. Incredible knowledge, and his passion really shown through. I would recommend to anyone who loves coffee, high quality F&B, or spending time with craftsmen perfecting their work. Great experience for a date, or with a friend.
  • 5/5 from David Dickinson, attended Dec 2023: If you want to learn more about the fascinating history of coffee and become more sensitive to the array of flavors inherent in different coffees, this class is for you. Mehmet, the host and instructor, is knowledgeable, well-organized, and encourages questions to individualize his presentation. He also sets a beautiful table. Now that I've discovered Memli, I'm definitely signing up for other classes. I highly recommend the Memli Coffee Lab!
  • 5/5 from Jack Hsiao, attended Dec 2023: Was an excellent workshop, great intro to history and background of coffee. Super knowledgeable lots of variety of coffees to try Can’t wait to take the next workshop!

I believe communication is the first step to solving anything. That’s why we value trust, transparency, and mindfulness in everything we do. Coffee flows in my blood since my childhood in Paris, France. From the café on the terraces to a warm cup of Turkish coffee at home, it was always a connecting moment between people and culture.
After my engineering degree, months of travel at coffee origins, and years of coffee education in London, UK, I launched Memli Coffee Lab to propose an innovative approach to coffee roasting with a focus on sensory experience, transparency, and education.
Looking back, coffee has always been in my life. As we say in French, it's my "madeleine de Proust" and my glimmer of hope at the same time. I hope you can catch me one day and share ideas around a cup of coffee
