What you will learn in the professional green coffee class
Too often, the importance of green coffee knowledge is underestimated in answering the question “how to become a coffee expert”.

Similarly, you can't roast coffee effectively without comprehending the differences in moisture and density among various beans.
In short, a professional green coffee course may seem unnecessary, but it is the true foundation for any career and expertise in the coffee industry.
Investing in this knowledge is crucial for anyone serious about mastering coffee.
