Introduction to coffee
Get an insight into the world of specialty coffee and become familiar with the process of coffee production, including bean extraction and how different flavours are developed through roasting. This module also covers brewing methods - from espresso to French Press, Chemex, and AeroPress - as well as how to use coffee in cocktails.
Brewing foundation

You will also develop your milk-handling techniques to produce attractive latte art patterns. You will practise efficient working processes and making drinks of high quality to order while following the correct procedures. Finally, we will focus on customer service, designing your own business model, and examining profit and costs.
