The Coffee Sensory Online Course. Our second e-learning course is all about how we can express our impressions. On our Kaffeemacher Kaffeemacher E-Learning Platform, this course follows April's Home Barista Online Course. In more than two hours of film footage, texts, and slides, we train you how to analyze, understand, and describe coffees.
Philipp Schallberger leads the course and is supported by Benjamin Hohlmann in the cupping exercises. Together, they not only share their approach to analyzing coffees but also sensorially locate the most characteristic coffees – they describe them and provide you with a lot of vocabulary that you can immediately use for coffee descriptions.
It's easy to say what you like and what you don't. However, it's really challenging to describe exactly why you like or dislike something.
In this course, we will collectively learn a structure that allows us to interpret any coffee. We will also expand the vocabulary we can use to describe coffee.
We then express all of this with our new evaluation sheet. An instrument designed to help us express sensory impressions.
Philipp introduces you to coffee sensory analysis, spices it up with anecdotes from the world of coffee slurping, and combines this with practical exercises.
In the course, we will learn how to set up a cupping together, so you can easily and systematically taste coffee at home. But espresso tasting is also essential: for evaluating espresso, we use the method of the World Barista Championships.
Kaffeemacher Coffees are discussed
This course will be continuously updated as we will always discuss our new filter coffees in detail. We will describe them with an evaluation sheet, and if you buy the same coffee for yourself, we will discuss this coffee together digitally. This way, you can calibrate with us and understand exactly how we evaluate coffees.
Online knows no limits
We had been thinking about an online course offering for a long time. The second lockdown in Basel again led to our coffee school being closed until April 2021.
The online offering does not replace a course with a personal meeting at our academy. But it creates an opportunity to still delve deep into the world of coffee and start practicing and learning, or to deepen or repeat what you have learned.
For us, it is another tool to stay in touch with you and share our coffee knowledge and enthusiasm for good coffee.
The great thing is that we can also offer courses for coffee enthusiasts from northern Germany or Graz in Austria. Because online knows no limits. And because we enjoy it so much, perhaps one or two courses will even supplement the offering in other languages.
We wish you happy experimenting and lots of fun with our Online Sensory Course!
