Additional Learning
I'll also touch on some knowledge about green coffee origins, processing & roasting science. Although not super relevant to making coffee. I believe it is massively beneficial for staff to get a greater idea of the industry as a whole
Not only that! But Afterwards, you'll receive a full recap of what we covered alongside my fully comprehensive barista bible. I'll always be around to answer more questions afterwards as well!
