Description
PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO READ THIS BEFORE PURCHASING THE COURSEThis is a foundation course for anyone who decided to join the world of specialty coffee, or coffee enthusiasts who wants to learn more about what is in their cup. All information is presented on slides to help you easily to follow and take notes. Even though I tried my best to make my presentation more attractive and interesting, the content in general is quite information-heavy. This course isn't only like a casual sharing experience from a friend to you, but also like a "Coffee 101" class from a university. The given information is chosen and organized based on my own learning experience. Pursuing a coffee career can be costly in term of time and money. Therefore, my purpose for this course is to provide a well-organized and affordable course for anyone who has limited resources. This module provides an overview of the coffee value chain, includes:   - Coffee History and popular Coffee Species   - The new wave of coffee and Specialty Coffee Standards   - Coffee growing conditions/regions and origin characteristics   - Processing methods and storing green coffee beans   - Specialty coffee roasting and cupping   - Coffee brewing and the differences between popular drinks (Espresso drinks vs. Non-espresso drinks)   - Fun facts about our morning cupsWithin a short period of time, I won't be able to deep dive into each topic. However, I'm quite confident that I have provided you a clear picture about the whole process. So you can decide what you want to do next.Thank you so much for checking my course! I hope you will find it valuable and interesting. :)Note: All pictures are from "Unsplash". Big thanks to those talented artists!
