Coffee Roasting Course Intermediate SCA
The intermediate coffee roasting course takes place, as per SCA protocol, in two full days of training during which really fundamental skills are focused. The use of roasting software, the ability to manage the various phases, such as development time and to be able to recognize, in tasting, how they can affect the cup. Again, the ability to blindly recognize roasting defects in cupping.
Passing the SCA Intermediate exam allows to get 10 points for the SCA Coffee Skills Program diploma.
