Below is an in-depth look at what an advanced coffee brewing course might entail, from understanding beans to mastering the craft of brewing. 1. In-Depth Understanding of Coffee Beans Learn about different coffee bean varieties (Arabica vs. Robusta), processing methods (washed, natural), and how roast profiles impact flavour. 2. Advanced Brewing Methods Master various brewing techniques, including pour-over (V60, Chemex), espresso (shot pulling, tamping), and alternative methods (Aeropress, siphon). 3. Water Quality and Temperature Control Understand the impact of water composition and temperature on extraction, and how to adjust both for optimal brewing results. 4. Grind Size and Consistency Explore the relationship between grind size and brew method, and how to achieve consistency using high-quality burr grinders. 5. Extraction Science Focus on brew time, coffee-to-water ratios, and understanding the Maillard reaction to perfect extraction and balance. 6. Tasting and Sensory Skills Develop sensory skills by cupping coffee and analyzing flavor profiles using tools like the SCA flavour wheel to identify nuances in taste.
