Student says...
I left there very happy.
Overall, I cam only recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn about coffee machines and have fun along the way.
Highly,highly, highly recommend.
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 :)
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.

The online coffee roasting course program
Chapter 01 - Intro and physical changes
How does roasting work? How does the grain change from a physical point of view in size, weight and density? Let's get right into the course.
Chapter 02 - Chemistry - Chemical transformations
The chemical transformations of the bean will mainly affect the result in the cup. The degradation of acids, the maillard reactions and the caramelization of sugars ...
Chapter 03 - Green Coffee Selection
Knowing how to roast means knowing how to choose and select green coffees. Let's see how to evaluate defects, degree of humidity, density and other elements that will allow us to identify the right roasting profile.
Chapter 04 - The roasting machine
Rotating drum, air bad, gas, electricity, different sizes, with cast iron or steel… Many variables can have an influence on the choice of the right machine for our project.
Chapter 05 - Heat Transfer and Colorimeters
Convection, conduction and radiation - these heat transfer methods can affect the roasting process. Let's also see in this chapter how to measure the color of the roasted coffee with a scientific method.
Chapter 06 - Measurements - Pre and Post Roasting Measurement
The so-called “weight loss” of roasted coffee has both a commercial impact (a kilo of green coffee will weigh much more than a roasted one) and an organoleptic one. Let's see how to manage it.
Chapter 07 - Temperatures and software
Temperature will be our point of reference during roasting. The various phases, from the cracks to the turning points, will be marked by the measurements of the thermocouples. Roasting softwares will be very helpful to help us in this delicate approach.
Chapter 08 - Roast Profile
With a software (or with a stopwatch and a lot of attention) it will be possible to create a roasting profile, a chart. It will be valuable both for the analysis of the roasted coffee and for the possibility of replicating the taste ...
Chapter 09 - Extra - Practice with Artisan
Let us start to roast! Let's see how the roasting batch is managed in practice and how it is followed with one of the most used software.
Chapter 09 - Extra - Practice with Artisan 2-
Let's continue the practice. We perform lighter or darker toasts, slower or faster. Experience is given by varying conditions and routes.
Chapter 10 - Cooling and Storage
After roasting, the coffee becomes a very delicate product. The cooling, degassing and storage phases, if badly performed, can quickly affect the quality of the drink in a very negative way.
Chapter 11 - Research and blending
What is the best blend? What the market is asking for. It has to be carefully analyzed, remembering that coffees change with the seasons and crops, and that we will always be able to replicate the taste even changing the ingredients...
