Sensory Skills Training for Coffee Roasters with Scientific Methods

In collaboration with IKAWA and Nostos Coffee, CoffeeMind invites you to an evening dedicated to understanding and refining your sensory skills training, which is essential to mastering the art of coffee roasting. This workshop is designed to help coffee roasters sharpen their ability to recognize fundamental tastes and flavour categories using a proven sensory training method.

Unlike traditional scoring forms that rely on vague descriptors or rigid frameworks focusing on paperwork and describing product properties, this session provides direct, practical feedback to improve your ability to evaluate coffee confidently. Based on methodologies used to train professional sensory panels at universities for over 50 years, we will introduce you to CoffeeMind’s new sensory software, allowing you to experience structured, actionable sensory training based on state-of-the-art statistical data analysis.
