This coffee class is all about getting better at using words to describe coffees. It’s not magic, anyone who can smell and taste can do this. We will explain how in an easy and understandable way.

This class follows the Coffee Quality Institute curriculum and is an excellent class for coffee sales people, coffee lovers, and people working in or planning to work in coffee.

The Green Coffee Foundation course introduces basic concepts regarding the production, trade and evaluation of green coffee.

Participants will learn about the specialty coffee supply chain from farm to roaster, including cultivation, harvesting, processing, drying, shipping, storage, and delivery.

Within the supply chain, learners take a closer look at the principles of coffee growing, processing, grading, trade and portfolio management.

The Roasting Foundation course gives the learner an understanding of the roasting process, including the physical changes that take place during the process and how to control sensory aspects of the coffee by roasting light or dark.

Learners will also gain an understanding of the basic structure of the roasting machine, general maintenance, and fire prevention.

Practical learning objectives and activities prepare the learner to follow instructions, given by the trainer, for three different roasts and record relevant data and observations per roast using a suitable roast log.
