SCA Coffee Roasting Foundation Coffee-Tech 1. July 2021 – VIRTUAL

What?

Why?

How?

Get immersed in the world of coffee roasting for beginners in a small group (maximum 8 pax) on this online Coffee-Tech SCA Roasting Foundation course. The course is a mixed e-learning (2 hours of mixed video and quizzes) and hands on and is hosted by Morten Münchow who has been working on the SCA Roasting curriculum since 2013 and generated a wealth of scientific knowledge specifically to improve the SCA Roasting Curriculum (ORCIDBlog)

Upon registry you will gain access to the e-learning content that you are expected to have finalized before the live online course starts.

This course is highly practical and does not dwell on scientific details which is more a background for keeping the discussion to the point and not get lost in fluffy concepts around coffee roasting and sensory evaluation.

Starting something new always includes hours of trial and error. By completing this course you will have a much better understanding of how to approach the roasting machine, and how the basic modulations lead to different flavour profiles. You will understand the basics of how the machine works which enables you to troubleshoot and solve problems that may arise.

The course is designed with the assumption that you have a Coffee-tech roaster available during the duration of the online virtual course. We will take you through the SCA Roasting Foundation theory as the basis for the practical exercises during which the trainer will give each student personal coaching on planned time slots during the course day.
