Coffee quality is a very important component of any foodservice operation. While great coffee and espresso are easy to prepare and present for the optimum customer experience, too often just the opposite is true. Visit most any restaurants and you will find, for the most part, sub-standard, overpriced and bad tasting coffee. Restaurants and other foodservice patrons are becoming more sophisticated in how they expect coffee and espresso to taste. Consumers are buying their own beans, attending classes and educating their palates more so than ever before. It stands to reason that the people that are buying those cups expect the same or better quality coffee when they dine out. The course of instruction outlined in this workshop is designed to address a very present need for an elaborate and intensive education in specialty coffee for both culinary students and professionals. By following a progression from basic to advanced instruction, the students will gain a complete knowledge of specialty coffee, not commercial coffee and how to apply it effectively in a culinary setting.
