Pushing a button is not enough to get a perfect espresso every time your customer asks for one. In the “Espresso Italiano Specialist” training course you will learn how to choose the coffee blend and to manage it. Moreover you will have a very in-depth look into the influence of the machinery on the sensory profile of the Italian espresso.
Theory includes:

• the coffee blend: how to choose and manage it, how to evaluate its sensory quality and the price/quality ratio, how to get the best out of it;
• the coffee grinder: how to choose and maintain it, sensory anomalies of the espresso depending on the coffee grinder;
• the coffee machine: how to choose and maintain it, sensory anomalies of the espresso depending on the coffee grinder.

Practice will deal with:
You will taste and judge different espressos based on different blends and prepared in different ways (different grinding levels and different espresso machines extracting conditions). Some of the preparations are faulty so that you learn to distinguish top-quality espresso from defective one.
