SCA Roasting Foundation Aillio Bullet 7. February 2023 – VIRTUAL (Chicago Time)

What?

On the online virtual live SCA Roasting Foundation Morten Münchow will take you through the most important fundamentals of the roasting process to understand what roasting is, and how you can control it. Your teacher, Morten Münchow, has been working on the SCA Roasting curriculum since 2013 and generated a wealth of scientific knowledge (free pdf with the research papers) specifically to improve the SCA Roasting Curriculum (ORCID, Blog)

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.

Why?

Starting something new always includes hours of trial and error and endless confusing searches on blogs and YouTube as well as reading books with conflicting claims. Our scientific approach to simplicity gives you solid ground under your feet and helps you to better distinguish between fluff and facts in your future searches (for more on this watch Research Design in Coffee on YouTube) in your coffee adventure.

The 2 hour preceding e-learning course with videos and quizzes, covering the SCA Roasting Foundation theory, prepares the students before the live event, so that we can go straight to the discussions and practical exercises.

How?

The course is designed with the assumption that you have an Aillio Bullet 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.

The course provides you with key information enabling you to get your SCA Roasting Foundation Certification
