"We would definitely recommend the filter workshop if you want to learn from scratch or improve your skills. Ahmad tailored the workshop to our level of experience and knowledge. We were quite amazed at how many factors influence a cup of coffee. Ahmad knows exactly how to adjust those factors to dial in a V60 to each person’s taste."

"I took part in the filter workshop and it was a great experience. I really loved the way it was held: with attention to the tiniest details, theoretical background and applying theory into practice. Really inspiring and engaging, I believe it will be cool for everyone regardless the level and years of experience. Thanks a lot! I enjoyed it."

Nataliia from One More Slice

"It was a cool experience, I’ve learned a lot of new things about coffee and tried them on practice. Everything that we’ve been taught actually makes sense and really has impact on the resulting taste of coffee. Atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed, really enjoyed this type of activity!"

Vladimir

“I was fortunate enough to have a one-on-one workshop with Ahmad. He’s a cool guy who’s extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. We talked about different concepts, from the basics of what makes a good espresso to the different roasting techniques and how this all influences your espresso. And of course, tested my new knowledge in practice. Overall, it was a great experience, very insightful, loads of fun and I learned a lot. And had some really tasty espressos in the process."

about

Ahmad Alshikh, founder and owner of Elevate Coffee Lab, began his journey in coffee 12 years ago with his first job in Syria, where bitter coffee was the norm and sugar needed. His perspective shifted in the Netherlands while working at different cafés and taking different courses, where he encountered coffee on an entirely new level—discovering origins, varieties, and flavors he never knew existed. Eventually he became Head Roaster at Keen Coffee. There, he deepened his understanding of roasting, processing, farmer relationships, and extraction. The dream of opening his own coffee bar stayed with him for over a decade. After six years of development, that dream became reality with the opening of Elevate Coffee Lab in October 2024.

Elevate Coffee Lab is dedicated to high-quality, consistent coffee experiences rooted in experimentation and transparency. Blending fine dining standards with specialty coffee, we experiment by serving a rotating menu every 6–8 weeks featuring diverse varieties from different guest roasters. We believe transparency is essential to the future of coffee, and we take it as our responsibility to highlight the people, stories, and processes behind every cup. Through hands-on workshops and genuine engagement with people in the café, we share these stories, handy tips and personal experiences to create a community together, to empower coffee lovers to brew better and to enrich their understanding of the world of coffee.
