The course “Coffee Roasting” in the borders of SCA Diploma System

December 16-18 there was a course on coffee roasting within SCA Diploma System under the supervision of Marco Cremonese.

The classes lasted for 8 hours during 3 days. During this time the participants of the course systematized their knowledge in the roasting area and also discussed many important and interesting questions; 33 kg of coffee were roasted and tasted.

Besides the material included in the program, everybody could ask the trainer their personal questions, ask for advice and problem solutions they meet in their work.

The group consisted of coffee professionals and leading roasters of Belarus. As Marco said he was pleasantly surprised by the level of the group.

All participants passed the course with the grade over 90%.

In 2017 we are planning to invite Mr. Cremonese again to teach a professional course! Details will be published next month.
