Leuke training, waarbij Paul je lekker laat experimenteren en zelf doen.
Kevin Duesing - Giesen Coffee Roasters19 June 2024
Mooie training die een goede basis geeft om eerste kennis op te doen over koffie branden. Veel praktische zaken besproken en voornamelijk gedaan. Erg leuk en een aanrader voor iedereen die mee wil weten over koffie en het branden.

Ik vond de cursus heel interessant, ik heb veel geleerd over het brand proces zelf en wat bijvoorbeeld de onderdruk, en een hogere temperatuur of langere branding doet met de koffiebonen. Ik vond het heel interactief en leuk om verschillende brandingen te doen op basis van een aantal variabelen, en later deze koffie's te proeven!

De uitleg was duidelijk. Mijn eerste ervaring met het maken van een brandprofiel was positief.

Ik heb een leuke training gehad. Paul heeft veel kennis, is enthousiast en zeer behulpzaam. Na het kort doornemen van de theorie hebben we de rest van de dag gefocust op het branden van een Colombiaanse koffie.
Aan het eind van de dag hebben we onze brandingen gecupped en geproefd wat de verschillende brandingen gedaan hebben met de smaak.
