Home Barista Level 2 - Course Description

We dive deep into the world of coffee right from the start. This is definitely not a beginner's course; it is designed for the home barista who already has significant experience and knowledge in grinder adjustment and extraction.

What temperature does which coffee need, how much coffee to how much water, and all that in what extraction time? Each participant will develop the perfect brew recipe for a variety of coffees.

Together, we will get the best out of every coffee.

Sensory evaluation is not neglected either. We will taste a wide variety of qualities to understand what high-quality coffee is. We will also take a look at various processing methods such as semi-washed, anaerobic fermentation, and honey. This is covered in theory and practice.

Of course, we will also spend plenty of time at the steam wand, producing fine-textured milk foam and working towards more complex latte art motifs, such as the tulip and rosetta.
