Training and Courses
Various training options: one-to-one or group classes, in person at our facility in London or Milano (Italy). We can follow a standardised programme or we can create a fully bespoke training programme, fully customised based on your needs. The training courses can be in English or Italian – with the materials always being in English.
Online training sessions are offered, where theoretical and practical skills can be taught, however practical skills are more effective in person.
Every course is develops the skills required for SCA certification at the end, depending on the level of training (Foundation, Intermediate or Advanced).

Green coffee sourcing and QGrader support
Full support to source the right green coffee for your business. Several options are available, such as an “External Lab” service, where we receive samples instead on your behalf and check their quality to ensure they match your standards.
A quality grading service is provided both for Arabica and Robusta, scoring your coffees (unofficially, as you would need to have at least 3 Q-grader to obtain an official score). We organise customised training sessions in preparation for the Q-grader certification.
