Counter Culture Training Center
85 1/2 Spring St, Charleston, SC
Crema's Take
“This isn't just a coffee shop—it's Counter Culture's official training hub where you can join their famous Tasting at Ten, a guided exploration of coffee from farm to cup that regulars swear by as a weekend ritual. The espresso and pour overs are expertly crafted, but what really sets this place apart is the depth of knowledge and genuine warmth from folks like Daniel, who make coffee culture feel accessible and exciting rather than intimidating. It's a beautifully designed space that feels built for both serious coffee education and lingering conversations, making it perfect whether you want a slow sit with a pour over or an eye-opening tasting experience.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

Full-time traveler, here(@whatrvdoing)! Hands down the tasting at ten absolutely opened up my eyes to the culture. This great experience accompanied with good people and perfect coffee will leave you thirsty for more. If you cannot make it at ten order some online. Cheers!

Nearly every Friday for the past 2 years I’ve been going to the Tasting at Ten and I have to say it’s the perfect way to start my weekend. Daniel is a rockstar when it comes to coffee and he really is one of the most knowledgeable people in the industry here. Not only does he…
Excellent coffee tasting. Daniel does a great job explaining “coffee culture” from fruit on the tree to extraction. Well worth your time.
