Participants test the influence of various factors on the brewing process. An important part of the training is practical knowledge of water quality and water testing methods. The brewing intermediate training, in addition to skills related to brewing coffee and\u003cbr\u003epreparing recipes, emphasizes practical learning of the sensory description of the brew. Participants build their dictionary of coffee descriptors and use it in practice to analyze brews with different %TDS and %extraction. They learn how to evaluate the correctness of brewed coffee also without using a refractometer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCourse scope:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of coffee research,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactors affecting extraction and brew quality: firing rate, ratio (proportion of coffee andwater), grinding rate, temperature, brewing time, agitation,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassification of brewing methods,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStages of coffee brewing,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefinitions: %TDS and % extraction,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearning to use the SCA Coffee Brewing Control Chart,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperation of the refractometer and VST application,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCategories and sensory attributes that can be used to describe a brew,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensory analysis of brews with different %extraction and %TDS,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentification of the correctness of brewed coffee, modification of coffee recipes,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColdbrew: definitions and recipes,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater for coffee, concepts: total hardness, carbonate hardness, buffering capacity, pH,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater quality control: drop tests, pH meter, conductivity meter,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest of coffee brewed on waters of different mineral compositions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRequirements for participants: recommended Brewing course at the basic level.\u003cbr\u003eThe training ends with a theoretical and practical exam.
