COFFEE COURSES

Our coffee courses are both hands-on and specific. They are approved and taught by SCA certified trainers and address every distinct stage of the career. We walk you through the path from cultivation to the cup.

CERTIFIED SCA COURSES

The SCA courses are the most complete and highly regarded courses in the world of coffee.
They are given by trainers authorised by the institution itself and the best way to know whether someone is a true coffee professional.

abcoffee’s SCA courses are taught by people who actually work as baristas and roasters and they are as tailored as it can be: the minimum number of participants is one.
The issue of a SCA certificate has an extra cost which varies by each course and depends if you are SCA member or not.

Hands-on Courses

Our hands-on courses’ programme depends entirely on the student’s interests and needs.

It takes place during three eight-hour sessions that occur on disperse days so that the repetition of complex tasks facilitates the internalisation of processes. It’s a completely tailored programme that aims at creating baristas that are as experienced as they are knowledgeable.
