Barista & Coffee Seminar 2 - LEVEL 2 - LEVEL 2

The 3rd wave of coffee has already entered our lives and has influenced the way we perceive the contents of our cup. Baristas` job has become more demanding and complex and requires specialized knowledge of the raw material and the methods it uses to perfect the final result.

The purpose of the training program is to upgrade the knowledge of baristas about the first ingredient and to train their taste palette through tastings and the use of scientific instruments and to acquire specialized knowledge about the science of coffee. In the specially designed stations of our academies, baristas are trained through interactive training techniques and experimentation to be able to develop their knowledge and direct their taste palette.

The program includes specialized theory about the coffee bean, varieties and special treatments so that the trainees understand the raw material they are handling. Advanced grinder adjustment techniques using a digital refractometer (refractometer) are presented so that participants become familiar with the specific instrument and are ready to experiment with different coffees and create their own blends under the guidance and supervision of the Bar Academy`s accomplished speakers.

Familiarity with the scientific side of coffee and broadening the taste horizon are the main pillars of the seminar. The origins and flavors of coffee, knowledge of sourcing, roasting, extraction, milk temperatures, and different brewing methods, how to use and clean a coffee bean grinder and espresso machine, how to add foam and texture to milk and more. During the week, one day is dedicated to espresso and all its taste aspects, as well as one day dedicated to the developed brewing techniques and all the methods that exist. Cupping protocol is also used to understand the flavor wheel. Latte art introduction and tips are also included.
