 Cosa troverai al corso di Brewing Intermedio

Durante il corso Brewing Intermediate SCA, avrai l'opportunità di sperimentare molte prove pratiche per prepararti all'esame Brewing Intermediate. Potrai esplorare estrazioni di caffè con diverse percentuali di estrazione e TDS per comprendere come regolare i parametri e ottenere la migliore tazza. 

Imparerai ad utilizzare con competenza il rifrattometro e la SCA Brewing Control Chart, esplorerai Brew Ratio, granulometrie e tempistiche di infusione.

Il mondo del brewing è pieno di esperimenti e dovrai preparare diverse tazze di caffè filtro utilizzando varie Brew Ratio. Questo ti consentirà di padroneggiare quelle che garantiranno una tazza di caffè in linea con i parametri della Gold Cup Standard SCA. Esplorerai diverse granulometrie e tempistiche di infusione per comprendere come la modifica di uno solo di questi parametri possa influenzare radicalmente il risultato in tazza.


Metodi di preparazione del caffè: il cold Brew 

Nel corso Brewing Intermediate SCA esplorerai anche il Cold Brew e l'impatto della temperatura sull'estrazione del caffè. Questo viene analizzato attraverso estrazioni a freddo e a caldo a varie temperature, utilizzando la Brew Control Chart e misurando i solidi disciolti.

Per comprendere meglio l'importanza dell'acqua nell'estrazione del caffè, verrai guidato in estrazioni di caffè filtro con diversi metodi (V60, Chemex, Syphoon, Kalita Wave), utilizzando acque con contenuti minerali variabili che permette di percepire le differenze organolettiche nella bevanda finale.

It was an amazing experience to take the technician course at the espresso academy of Florence. The instructor was patient, made sure we were all on the same level of understanding and had the best clearest explanations. The staff as a whole is so nice and kind! So were my ‘classmates’. Thank you everyone!

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.

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.

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 of
Milk art.

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.

Took 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!!
