One of the main requisites to open a roasting company or a micro roastery is certainly to have and get knowledge. Finally you can do that with our roasting training pro package course, the complete roasting course!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In our coffee school experience, we have been able to see that many participants, more than in other courses, face these training with professional goals to reach.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In the very previous years there were many, Italians and not, who began a training course related to roasting facing the project to open a traditional roasting plant, the one that would aim at the market of classic coffee blends<\/strong>. But world changes (ain the very best way) and now another segment has been added to this market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new segment that, perhaps in terms of number of requests, if not in terms of market volume, has maybe become even more important:  a course to open a micro roastery, <\/strong>a small roastery specialized in coffee of high level, single origin 80+, the so-called coffee specialties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In both cases, however, the feedback to the training is often good, but …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if the courses are done very well for what concerns the operational part, then the part related with learning how to roast, how to to choose green coffee and, if the students are smart, also how to taste, often this type of training seems to forget that opening a business, a company, is also made up of technical skills<\/strong> (certainly fundamental for its success) but also of skills related with equipment, plant and management costs, even on marketing in a market that is growing, but that is already very busy and competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is precisely the purpose of the new <\/strong>Espresso Academy \u201ccoffee roasting pack<\/strong>\u201d,<\/a> a three-day super full immersion course that aims to be truly, really complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the notions on green coffee, on tasting (in cupping mode of course) and on roasting <\/strong>(the course actually combines, and is valid, for the foundation and intermediate certifications of SCA roasting), the course also allows to start the business project with practical and up-to-date knowledge <\/strong>on the cost of equipment, the best roasting machines according to the project, the cost of green coffee, energy, packaging and ancillary equipment such as packaging machines.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In addition to these aspects, which are fundamental to building a business plan<\/strong>, a lot of work is practical, managing the roasting machine, even with the help of the most modern roasting software such as Artisan, because toasting is both a science and an art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A team of three trainers who alternate in various phases, according to their skills, carry out this large and ambitious program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Robert Brink for the technical part, we also have Giada Bargellini for the marketing area and Gabriele Cortopassi for the management, costs and bureaucratic parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, an important course for an important project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
