coffee cupping, by comparing single origin coffee. This will allow you to recognise and appreciate the diverse flavour characteristics through a number of roasting profiles and regions of production. The session concludes with information on how different brewing methods can draw out the flavours of a coffee's unique characteristics. Filter Coffee and Brewing Methods: This session is designed to give you the best practice of the three brewing methods; pour-over, syphon and aeropress. You will compare a number of different coffees using each method and demonstrating the manner in which each draws different flavours from the same coffee. Espresso: This entry level session will provide you with the skills needed to confidently make the best espresso possible. You will learn the values of
cleanliness, good preparation and utilising the best skills possible to optimise the process, as well as the basic setup of the machine and grinder to get the best from the bean. Latte Art: This session will give you the skill and consistency to master the steam wand of a commercial La Marzocco Machine, by training on milk based espresso drinks. You will be shown techniques on how to create a range of micro-foam in milk and how this process affects the flavour, as well as the best practice for pouring latte art, milk temperature and its effect on the coffee. You'll also learn how the ratio of espresso to milk characteristics defies the coffee we drink.
