Introduction to 19grams & Specialty Coffee

In this workshop you will (most likely) experience your very first coffee cupping. In a cupping, coffee professionals like us evaluate the quality of different beans side by side.

The Introduction to Specialty Coffee is recommended for beginners who want to learn more about specialty coffee. We recommend the Barista course and the Latte Art course as advanced courses. If you are interested in all three courses, we recommend buying all three courses as a bundle.

We cover all these topics:

- A brief history of coffee
- What is Specialty Coffee?
- Coffee genetics and growing regions
- Producing, harvesting and processing coffee
- Our approach to roasting
- Coffee tasting (cupping)

Which course is perfect to start with?

The best way to start is with the Barista course, where we deal with the basics of espresso and learn what makes a really good espresso. To expand on the knowledge gained in the Barista course, we recommend the Latte Art course.
