Some like their coffee super strong, with a little texture left over from the grounds. Others like a clean pour that allows the beans' most delicate flavors to shine. During this roastery tour and workshop, Brio Coffeeworks educator Tyler Van Liew helps you find the brewing method that enables you to make your perfect cup, whether a French press, Chemex pour-over, espresso or other style. Owners Magda and Nate Van Dusen are on hand to talk about the roasting process and answer questions, too.

Brew Methods Workshop: Saturday, November 4, 10 a.m.-noon, Brio Coffeeworks in Burlington. $5-10. Info, 861-9700, briocoffeeworks.com.
