Do-it-yourself culinary classes have become increasingly popular over the years, including tutorials in home beer brewing, cellar cheese growing, and front-lawn free-range beet ranching. Add coffee to the formidable arsenal of independently enabled comestibles with today's deal. For $49, you get a coffee-roasting and latte-creating class from Javatini's. At the end of your initiation into caffeinated creation, you'll take home a quarter-pound of your own hand-roasted blend. Take your course at either Javantini's Laguna Hills or Santa Ana location.

Each 90-minute class starts with the history of coffee and its historic use heroically providing relaxation and saving humanity from the burden of sleep. The expert baristas at Javatini's will walk you through the roasting process before giving students the opportunity to do some roasting of their own. Learn the arcane secrets of extracting the most punch from the beans to best energize a cup of espresso. Acquire lessons on the dos and don'ts of steaming milk before being taught how to paint a latte masterpiece using a palette of milk on an espresso canvas. The small class size of 7–9 students keeps the attention personal and the camaraderie high.

With your new ability to create flawless, professional lattes on a whim, you'll be able to entertain and impress even the most discerning caffeinated palates. Moreover, the quarter-pound of self-roasted coffee will please your coffee machine with its homemade qualities and essence of care permeating the blend.
