“SCA Roasting Professional with Integrated Scientific Sensory Skills Assessment”
from Coffee Roasting education expert Morten Münchow, is the most critical Course you can find to get you there!
Morten was the lead creator of the SCA Roasting curriculum from 2013-2018 but has since stopped in 2018 worked intensely on
- scientific sensory-based research on coffee roasting (www.researchgate.net/profile/Morten-Muenchow)
- sensory skills training (see Ida Steen’s webinar about the research: “A scientific approach to improving your sensory skills”)
- teaching methodology of coffee roasting (presented in The Elements of The Perfect Coffee Roastery webinar and CoffeeScience for CoffeePreneurs podcast podcast)
- The dynamics of Business models of coffee roasteries (published in Journal of Business Strategy: “Creativity and Commerce: A Shifting Balance for Specialty Foods and Beverages”)
to provide a broader yet more straightforward, more coherent framework and more result-efficient than what is presented in the SCA curriculum itself (even though the SCA curriculum is also fully included in this course)
So be ready to acquire the SCA Roasting Professional curriculum + CoffeeMind proprietary approach to coffee roasting and sensory skills learning, which incorporates state-of-the-art
- Lean Production Process Engineering (simplicity and focus on the few things that matter and forget the rest)
- Consumer science (build your organization around your chosen customer segment based on how you have decided you want to live your life as a CoffeePreneur)
- Sensory science (quantitative feedback
- and variation analysis of your sensory scoring skills across basic taste and aroma categories)

- Aillio Bullet R1
