Coffee Academy > Course: Espresso Masterclass
Espresso Master Class
This class is for the dedicated barista who wants to increase their knowledge of coffee from 'seed to cup'. The class covers coffee origins and the different processing methods and explains the resultant impacts on flavour. We will introduce you to roasting and explain what happens to the coffee during this process. There will be tasting involved as we will be educating you on how to taste coffee and understanding its many flavour profiles. Once you understand the flavour profiles, we will work on your techniques so you can achieve this balance in your café. And you will also been shown how to assess and improve the espresso you serve.
