In this course, you will learn to: We will explore and study more technical topics that are MORE CHALLENGING than those covered in other levels. These include adjusting the brewing process based on the bean (origin, variety, processing method, roast), the variables that affect the brew, as well as their analysis, measurement, and how all of this translates into flavor; water analysis and how it affects coffee brewing; we will work on the equipment, learning to identify and replace parts; we will analyze milk and coffee from a chemical perspective and how these elements translate into flavor; etc. Another important section is working with the machine, where professional competence and agility will be required, as well as impeccable latte art. Finally, topics related to the operation of a coffee shop will be studied, covering both service efficiency and business management.
