Introduction to the Online Coffee Tasting Course

Program

01. Intro

Professional tasting often frightens, one does not feel capable of tasting, and of smelling. In reality, tasting is an objective science in which we will analyze, break down and measure the sensations transmitted by the product.

02. Sensorial Analysis

What are the variables that can affect a specific coffee tasting? Why is tasting in cupping considered more indicative than tasting in espresso? How do we control the variables that can influence our judge?

03. The Five Tastes

Sweet, bitter, salty, sour and umami. These are the main tastes that we can perceive. What do they come from in coffee and how can we distinguish them?

04. Aromas in Coffee

From aromatic molecules to melanoidins: why can coffee have aromas ranging from jasmine to moldy earth? We examine the entire aromatic range of coffee and learn to classify it according to the SCAA standard

05. Tactile Sensations

The body is often considered, especially in espresso, a fundamental quality of coffee. But the body can not be only defined as full-bodied or watery. In this section we work on understanding how to be more precisely: from silky to rough to syrupy ….

06. Choosing the right protocol

A tasting protocol must be functional to its purpose. Do we want to evaluate the quality and price of a crop? Do we want to evaluate the blend that we will propose to a market? Do we want to evaluate a specialty coffee with the SCAA tasting card?

07. The Cupping Protocol

The word «cupping» in the technical language of coffee defines the professional coffee tasting protocol, the one used to define the price of a crop, to evaluate the tasting score and to define a specialty coffee …

08. Setting up a Cupping Table

To be functional and replicable, the cupping table must be organized with a precise setting. From the intensity of the light to the color of the cups. Let’s find out all this, and let’s not forget that the cupping table also has its own etiquette …

09 Tasting Espresso

The technical coffee tasting is carried out in espresso mainly to evaluate the final product, also in blend. Let’s see with which protocols, from the evaluation of the cream to the balancing, and with which tasting cards

L'ho frequentato a novembre di quest'anno... semplicemente un'esperienza fantastica... Roberto, il docente, è un ragazzo straordinario, tiene le lezioni in modo così semplice. Ti porta anche in pausa pranzo per provare la vera cucina italiana per pochi soldi.
Nel complesso, consiglio questo corso solo a chiunque voglia conoscere le macchine da caffè e divertirsi lungo il percorso.
Altamente, altamente, altamente raccomandato.
