SUMMARY:SCA Barista Skills Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:The Barista Skills Intermediate course builds on the concepts and skills introduced in the Foundation course. It is ideal for someone who has barista skills experience and wants to explore how to improve coffee quality and prepare for more complex job functions found in the barista profession. Through this interactive course\, learners will gain a deeper understanding of the coffee itself\, specifically the impact of a coffee’s variety\, origins and processing methods on flavor; the parameters of coffee quantity\, grind texture\, water quality\, and shot time and their interaction when dialing in a brew recipe; drink construction and taste differences; workflow management and efficiency\, sensory aspects of the espresso extraction; milk handling and techniques as well as latte art. In addition to coffee preparation\, this course also covers key concepts regarding health and safety\, customer service\, and basic business practices. A written exam tests Intermediate course knowledge while a practical exam assesses the learner’s ability in terms of grinder calibration\, espresso extraction analysis\, latte art skills and drinks construction.
