I corsi sul caffè filtro (o coffee brewing) Espresso Academy hanno l’obiettivo di fornire, sia all’amatore che al barista specialty, tutte le competenze per gestire nella massima consapevolezza tutte le tecniche di estrazione in filtro, percolazione o infusione.
Nei corsi vengono esaminate, a livello sempre più evolute; dai concetti di base di strength e extraction, a strumenti come il V60 e il chemex, tutti i sistemi di estrazione a freddo e di cold brew e perfino metodi classici, come il caffè alla turca e la moka.

Si procede quindi alternando fasi teoriche e pratiche sui vari strumenti: dal V60, al Chemex, ibrik, moka fino al cold brew realizzato con varie tecniche. Diversi test pratici aiutano a capire cosa accade quando si variano la macinatura, la temperatura di estrazione e…
Corso Brewing Intermedio SCA
Due giornate.

Pensato per un barista che si muove in un ambiente professionale come una caffetteria specialty, il corso intermedio SCA approfondisce l’uso delle chart di estrazione e quello del rifrattometro, che diventano strumenti di lavoro per imparare a modulare strength e extraction nella preparazione.
Il corso è per la maggior parte pratico e prevede l’estrazione di molti caffè, sia commodity che specialty.

Perchè un corso sul caffè filtro?
Il caffè filtro, caffè all’americana, caffè lungo o come vogliamo chiamarlo, è una forma di estrazione del caffè che in Italia è stato per molto tempo considerato di cattiva qualità, acqua sporca!
Negli anni più recenti questo approccio è stato invece sempre più apprezzato. Tecniche come il cold brew, il V60, l’Aeropress sono diventate più comuni sia nei coffee shop più evoluti sia a casa, per i coffee lover più incalliti. Motivo di questo successo è stata anche l’evoluzione del coffee specialty, caffè di alto livello i cui aromi si sposano bene con queste tecniche, tanto che buona parte di questo corso di caffè filtro viene svolto, nelle sue prove pratiche, proprio con l’uso di caffè sopra gli 80 punti in assaggio tecnico.
Perchè un corso sull'estrazione del caffè?
Quando prepariamo un caffè facciamo sì che l'acqua diventi scura, intensa e ricca di profumi meravigliosi. Questo miracolo ha un nome: estrazione.
L’acqua, nella preparazione del caffè, dissolve parte delle sostanze del chicco. Solo una parte di esso, circa il 20%. Se dissolve più di questa percentuale avremo una “sovraestrazione” che porterà, probabilmente, a note amare e astringenti. Se dissolveremo meno avremo una “sottoestrazione” con una estrazione del caffè acida e acquosa. La gestione di questi parametri passa attraverso temperatura dell’acqua, contenuto minerale, tempo di contatto e altri aspetti. Tutti gli aspetti che sono il vero core di questo corso di estrazione del caffè.
Corsi coordinati
Le date sono pensate per permettere di prender parte a più corsi con un solo viaggio a Firenze, scoprite nel nostro calendario corsi le nostre date coordinate dei prossimi due mesi.
I corsi iniziano sempre alle 10, per permettere anche a chi viene da lontano, di raggiungerci comodamente e direttamente da casa. Se venite invece particolarmente da lontano (molti partecipanti vengono dall’estero per i corsi in inglese) avete bisogno di pernottare e magari cogliete l’occasione del corso per una piccola vacanza a Firenze, chiedeteci la lista delle strutture alberghiere convenzionate, le abbiamo scelte per tutte le tasche!

We received a warm welcome and learned a lot about coffee.Traveled to Florence and thought it was a great area to learn more about espresso. The Espresso Academy class was fun, informative and the instructor was very knowledgeable. Would recommend!Not only is it a great school full of great coffee enthusiasts and professionals, they also make you live a unique experience in a beautiful city. The combination between theory and practice is perfectly balanced for any level. I recommend it 100% to all those who have a passion for coffee and want to delve deeper into this world. Thank you!I found Espresso Academy after doing some research into espresso machine maintenance courses; after reading the reviews, and not finding anything suitable based in the UK, I reached out to ask some questions about the course...From the very first email, Cristina was so friendly, knowledgable and welcoming that she put my mind at rest and showed me that Espresso Academy know exactly what they are doing.I booked my flights, my accommodation, and told the team I was coming for the course!I could not recommend these guys enough - they are knowledgable, friendly and absolutely professional. I learned so much in such an engaging, interesting and thorough way that I have come home and been able to apply my knowledge immediately - starting my own small business in the UK.The course leader - Robert - is so kind, welcoming and full of knwoledge - but most importantly he is an excellent teacher, delivering the information in an easy to understand way to a mix of abilities in the class.I met some fantastic people and have made some friendships for life - and for even more joy, you get to stay in Florence when you're visiting for a course and what a beautiful city to stay in!Thank you for such a wonderful experience, and I hope to come back and visit again in the future :)Fantastic course on coffee machine maintenance, learned a lot in the short amount of time the course runs. Robert is a great teacher, easy going, explains things well and answers all questions. All other staff members we met during the course were also incredibly polite and welcoming. Well worth the travel.The course at the academy was very good. very friendly team and professional teaching.I would like to thank the academy for providing a qualitative formation in a time where such things are difficult to find and sadly underrated.I would also like to particularly commend Robert, our teacher, who has managed to show me in a very short amount of time a wealth of accessible and comprehensible information on a difficult subject. He is awesome, poised, didactic, knowledgeable, approachable and generally very pleasant to be around.It was fantastic 3 days of learning. It was one of the important learning experiences I had. Trainer was very professional, calm, respectful and friendly. If you are in coffee business, you must do one of their course depending on what you need. Highly recommend.Excellent experience, recommended to all those who want to expand their knowledge of the world of coffee. I was followed by Professor Michele Cantarella at the Castorino roasting company and here I had the opportunity to see the roasting, to taste many types of coffee, to learn the basics ofMilk art.If you want to learn everything about Coffee, the way how to do your own tasty Espresso, Latte Art this is the place to go. Enthusiatic trainers, very good mix of theory and practice. I wish the team of Espresso Academy all the best and a big thank you for the 2 day's of introduction of italian coffee philosophy 🙂I’ve been planning to follow my passion for coffee with a professional training course and I found what I was looking for at The Espresso Academy. From the start Cristiana was very helpful for planning and booking this course for me, responding promptly and making it easier for my needs. During the course Gabriele was doing his best for me to get the most of this course, he was very kind, helpful and attentive. He went above and beyond to give the best experience. It was obviously about the coffee and the passion of coffee rather than just another commercial training course. , I really enjoyed every moment and learned a lot. I also gained confidence in my knowledge and skills. Thank you Espresso Academy.High quality classes offered by friendly, serious and very experienced teachers??? i loved it- i can only recommend!Super recommended!!! Instructor was super nice, the content was engaging , I made my first espresso & cappuccino, it was an absolutely fun experience ?An excellent experience, highly recommend to someone just getting into coffee. Very calm, patient and knowledgeable teachers with whom it was only pleasure to work with. :) 10/10Took the two day advanced barista course and it exceeded my expectations. Great teachers, great content, and even though it was a short course we got plenty of time to practice actual coffee making without sparing milk. And a bonus is the opportunity to meet coffee students from all over the world, that most likely share similar goals to yours. Highly recommend for anyone getting into coffee business.I've attended many courses at Espresso Academy Firenze and I loved it! The staff is incredibly friendly and the courses very nice structured. Theory and lots of practice and we could even visit the roastery! The whole place smells of coffee :) During the pandemic I've also attended a couple Online Courses which were great and the teacher answered all the questions. I totally recommend going there to learn about coffee and become friends with the most amazing teachers :) Hope to see you soon guys!!
