Barista & Coffee 2: Advanced Coffee Science & Sensory Training

This seminar is designed to enhance baristas’ understanding of coffee as a raw material, refine their sensory skills through guided tastings and scientific tools, and provide specialized knowledge in coffee science and advanced brewing techniques.

The program includes an in-depth study of coffee beans, exploring varieties, processing methods, and their impact on flavor. Participants will also be introduced to advanced grinder calibration techniques, using a digital refractometer to analyze extraction, experiment with different coffee profiles, and create their own blends under the guidance of expert trainers from the Bar Academy.

A key focus of the course is on the scientific aspects of coffee and broadening sensory perception. One day is dedicated entirely to espresso and its complex flavor components, while another focuses on advanced brewing techniques, covering various methods and their applications. Participants will also engage in cupping sessions to deepen their understanding of the coffee flavor wheel, and an introduction to latte art will provide insights into milk texturing and presentation.

This seminar is ideal for baristas looking to expand their expertise, develop a scientific approach to coffee brewing, and refine their skills in tasting, extraction, and creative presentation.
