The ‘Brewing: Intermediate’ course introduces you to the various ways of preparing coffee; from Chemex and Syphon to the Clever dripper and the French press. In addition, this level allows participants to learn all the basic techniques used by all serious coffee professionals for beverages management.

This 2-day introductory course is a highly practical workshop where you will learn to analyse the grinding profile of each mill, to adapt the grinding to the extraction equipment you use and to scientifically measure the strength of coffee and record the coffee extraction on the extraction diagram.

It includes a practical test and an online “written” test (40 questions with a required success rate of 70%).

Attendance of the ‘Brewing Skills: Foundation’ module is recommended without being mandatory.
