What’s Behind Your Daily Coffee Cup?

Discover a Complete Journey Towards Speciality Coffee

There is more to coffee than you might think! In fact, a long transformation process has to take place for you to have your daily cup. Think about it; coffee beans come from the tropical Coffea plant, grown only in certain countries along the Coffee Belt (an area between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn), so the value chain is incredibly long. That quickly leads to underpaid coffee producers and other workers connected to the world of coffee - and that’s where we come in! With this one-of-a-kind course, you will travel from the fields to a spectacular cup profile, from rough hands and raw coffee cherries to the beverage we all love so much. That way, you get to learn everything there is to know about coffee, making you a more experienced and overall better coffee lover!
