COURSE DETAILS:

The Brewing Skills Program teaches the essential principles and practical techniques required to produce consistently high-quality brewed coffee. Learners explore a wide range of brewing methods while developing an understanding of extraction, brew recipes, water quality, grind size, and the key variables that influence the final cup. Practical exercises prepare participants to confidently brew coffee using industry-standard equipment and best practices.

The Brewing Skills Foundation course introduces learners to the different methods of brewing coffee through both theoretical and practical hands-on instruction. Participants gain an understanding of the essential elements of brewing, brewing devices, extraction fundamentals, and recipe preparation while learning to evaluate their brew results. Practical learning objectives and activities prepare the learner to produce consistently brewed coffee based on an understanding of the essential brewing elements. 

The Brewing Skills Intermediate course builds on the concepts and skills introduced in the Foundation course. It is ideal for someone with brewing experience who wants to further improve coffee quality and consistency. Learners explore extraction theory in greater depth, brewing devices, recipe development, coffee strength and extraction measurement, brewed coffee analysis, and the adjustments required to achieve a balanced cup, while also covering equipment cleaning and maintenance.
