PU LL: E VE N TS COFFEE SUMMER SCHOOL! REMEMBER HOW HARD you worked in high school just so you could avoid summer school? Well times they have a-changed—at least for curious and enthusiastic coffee professionals who want nothing more than to be continuously rounding out their coffee know-how. Consider adding one of Coffee Solutions' three-day sessions, "Grading & Evaluation: QA & QC Techniques," to your summer calendar. The class is a hands-on workshop aimed at developing strong core competencies for the quality evaluation of green and roasted coffee. Students will learn and apply Specialty Coffee Association of America standards for green coffee grading, cupping, and roasted coffee physical analysis, as well as go through numerous organoleptic exercises aimed at building sensory skills. "This course is a must for individuals and companies developing roasting programs or looking to build experience and confidence at the cupping table with the aim of adding value to their supply chain," says instructor Todd Mackey. Interested in attending the June 12–14 or August 21–23 session?
