Fresh cup of coffee

Anisa_A, Aug 2026

It was more than just a coffee-making experience; it was a chance to connect with the local culture, learn something new, and truly understand where coffee comes from. A simple cup of coffee suddenly felt like a story, a tradition, and a lot of hard work.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for sharing this! We love that the Kigali coffee experience gave you more than a cup of coffee—it connected you with Rwandan culture, local traditions and the people behind every bean. That’s the heart of NuttinTODO. 🇷🇼

Had an amazing time!

Had an amazing time at this experience with the team at Umurishyo! They were so welcoming and I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Kigali!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Glad you enjoyed it! Our Kigali bean-to-brew coffee experience combines culture, hands-on learning, and local hospitality.

A waste of time

I arrived a few minutes after my 1pm tour time. The tour operator told me that they werent ready to start because they were waiting for a delivery of coffee beans. At about 1:30pm, we finally started the activity. We saw what appeared to be a fake tree (plastic leaves) so that we could "experience" harvesting coffee beans. Then we took part in the other steps for preparing coffee beans and concluded at about 2:35pm. The tour operator asked me to take pictures and post on instagram to help him advertise his activity/ tour but frankly for $50 -- this was not worth my time or money.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the experience didn’t meet your expectations. As mentioned in the activity description, this experience is designed to take place in Kigali — not on a coffee farm — and aims to give a hands-on introduction to the coffee-making process in an urban setting. We understand the delay was not ideal, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the wait. Please know that most of our guests have really enjoyed this unique and interactive experience, and we’re always working to improve it based on feedback like yours. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts — we hope to make the experience even better for future visitors.

Really good experience,...

Really good experience, learning about coffee then roasting your own beans. My guide through it was excellent, knowledgable & smart she was great

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thanks a ton! So glad you had a blast — roasting beans and dropping knowledge is what we love. Big shoutout to our awesome guide!

An experience to remeber

I love coffee. At home I grind my own beans and often make special blends. OneCup coffee experience has given me a much greater insight and even more appreciation for coffee and the business of how it is produced. The OneCup staff John and Doreen were excellent teachers for the 2 hour session. Very informative. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience...superb.
