At this level you’ll further develop your sensory skills by exploring and evaluating the basic tastes and organic acids found in coffee, improving your palate and coffee knowledge. Using these skills, you’ll work on designing, evaluating and optimising brew recipes specific to a coffee, the machinery and the environment you’re in.

You’ll perfect your latte art technique to produce coffees to the highest standard and explore the effect our equipment and tools have on both consistency and efficiency. We’ll also look closely at water chemistry and how to use different filtration methods to optimise your water to SCA standards.

This course will equip you to manage espresso quality across multiple locations and design the brand standards for a successful speciality cafe.
