Advanced Coffee Brewing - August 21st

This professional barista course continues the science of coffee brewing touched on in Intro to Espresso and Coffee Brewing Basics.
About this Event

The Advanced Coffee Brewing (fna "Understanding Extraction") training combines
theoretical exploration of coffee brewing with tasting and
troubleshooting exercises. As a result, baristas gain the ability to
approach any brewing method.


First, the trainer introduces the brew control chart. Next, baristas
interact with TDS (strength) and extraction using formulas. This is done
with both a chalk board and digital calculator tools. Then, baristas learn
how the combination of strength and extraction apply to coffee
brewing.


Baristas will brew and chart extractions using real brews and then
measure TDS. Next, using the recipe and TDS, baristas learn how to
measure extraction. Last, these tools inform an exercise in the
understanding coffee extraction training that improves upon the quality
of a brewed coffee.

This course, when pared with advanced espresso, should give
baristas plenty of mental material to contemplate while making coffee.
Therefore, we hope it acts as a springboard to the professional pursuit
of coffee. Actual methods that Blueprint finds beneficial to improving
coffee quality in our cafes inform this course. While science, scales, and
calculators may feel out of place behind a coffee bar, we believe they
are critical to the advancement of our field.
