This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the sensory analysis of espresso, providing practical tools and methodologies to evaluate cup quality with precision. It is designed for baristas, coffee specialists, roasters, and industry professionals who want to deepen their understanding of flavor profiles and develop greater sensory awareness.
During the session, we will first cover the theory of tasting, focusing on aroma, flavor, body, acidity, aftertaste, and balance. Next, we will explore the main tastes and flavor notes, learning to recognize the characteristic aromas of different coffees.
The practical part includes an espresso tasting session, where participants will compare different extractions and observe how parameters such as grind, temperature, and pressure affect the result in the cup.
By the end of the course, participants will have acquired the skills to use the sensory language of coffee consciously, distinguish the key organoleptic characteristics of espresso, and apply tasting techniques both in professional contexts and in coffee selection.
