Group Alternative Brewing Basic – aroma, balance, precision
Alternative brewing methods are more than just a trend — they are a way to unlock the full potential of the coffee bean and consciously build flavor in the cup.
In a small group setting, we will guide you through the basics of specialty coffee and the world of pour-over methods. You will learn how to read coffee packaging like a barista, how to adjust key brewing parameters, and why even small changes can completely transform the character of the brew.
After the training, you will clearly understand how grind size, ratio, water temperature, and water quality affect flavor, and you will learn to brew coffee using different methods: from V60 and Aeropress to Chemex.
If you love coffee and want to start brewing it consciously using alternative methods — this training is made for you!

A few words from Michał, JAVA University Trainer
“I’ve been working with coffee for 9 years. I enjoy breaking conventions and encouraging experimentation — inspiring others and showing different possibilities.
During trainings, what matters most to me is effectiveness, created by sharing knowledge in an accessible way and in the most relaxed atmosphere possible — because we learn best when we’re having fun.”
