What will you learn with us?
In the theoretical part, the participant will learn more about the factors affecting the quality of coffee, its cultivation, processing, storage and roasting.
In the practical part, they will first follow up on the theory using the basic tasting technique - cupping. This will be followed by an introduction to professional coffee shop equipment, a description of terminology, settings, common service tasks and daily maintenance. The main content of the course is the preparation of coffee itself. During it, the participant will learn how the taste of the drink is affected by the ratio and yield of extraction and how to analyze the results. We will also focus on latte art, where we try to make the patterns as symmetrical and precise as possible. Finally, we will also show how to make work behind the coffee machine more efficient.
In all cases, we follow the standards recognized by SCA and WBC.
Course as a gift
Who will train you?
Our main lecturer at the doubleshot coffee school, Nikola Divincová, will guide you through the entire course. Nikola has been in the world of specialty coffee for more than ten years. During that time, she has gained a wealth of experience not only behind the coffee machine, but also by visiting farms and participating in global coffee fairs. She is also well-versed in the world of competitions - whether as a competitor, judge or coach. Coffee and the community around it have always interested her as a whole, so you may also know her from panel discussions or as a moderator.
